Paul,
Will you be transfering your Revo SPS to your new S3 and if so is it just a matter of using the dongle in the new S3 or is the SPS linked to the cars ECU / VIN Numbers etc?

will get Cruise control again, and a remap.

Most likely to be AmD . They really have been excellent,and pulled out all the stops to help put the car back to standard at such very short notice...

Plus i use Wayside, and they are not bothered about chips, so even better!

Remap and cruise to follow in a few thousand miles.


Read up ^^^ [img]images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] [img]images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Revo has stayed with the red one... so new owner with have the high boost pleasure!

I feel like something different. AmD do all my other mods, so i am looking at a remap from them.. they really have been brilliant, and are only 20 mile from me.

Havent a clue?

Red one was a 2002 225
Black one 2003 225.

Incidently the big Porsche Calipers DO have Brembo cast in the back of them.... so that confirms that too..

Sorry Duncan , forgot about yours!
Simon, I think I agree, had I bought new I was going for Avus, a nondescript Audi " silver" that merges with the traffic. Misano is very red.
I checked out a BoxsterS late february and the sales guy was talking about colours and how that they were seeing a reduction in silver but a significant increase in greys and very dark colours .

a happy REVO man myself, but have you considered the Sportec remap if you are going the AMD route (something different)?

im still considerng Revo. I am happy with it.
The latest revision made high boost even better.

Its just Amd do all other work you see, and i use a AmD friendly dealer....

as for Sportec, Scott told me the map is a Hybrid Amd/Sportec derived remap.

so im not sure if there is a seperate Sportec map and seperate AmD map to choose from. [img]images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
