why not revo
There are loads of people complaining about their revo software, how its faulty and everything. They con people by giving them a free 5 hour trial and after this the car returns to standard. In actual fact, they return it to well below standard and the software does not disappear like they say. There is loads of posts on audi sport etc etc slagging off revo so i wouldnt go near them.

yes, chipping raises boost levels. the stock internals and turbo wont like run at about 3 bar boost which is what would be required to get anything near that power, plus then you would need to stick some mother of all fuel pumps in to give it enough petrol to run that boost. its not easy, i dont doubt its possible, but it is defo not easy.
there is a 400bhp A3 kicking round on claimed standard internals.

300bhp is easy on an A3, 400bhp is a lot more money. Jabbasport do various stages of conversions but there is a delay on the availability of them i believe.

I drove the Ibiza PD130 which feels very rapid with instant power. Lovely.

what forum. there have been no bad stories of Revo from Seat cars etc. the car cannot go back to worse than before. the map does not change 
Personally Revo would be high on my list if I had a Vag car. I'd really only get Jabba as it's a custom map however

do you know what equipment found this then? because the managers car has a reprogramme on it, and the VAG 1551 and 1550 cannot trace it.
