Anyone using China Revo clone tool?

[v8 dave]

Hi all

Been looking at getting one of these to play with; I've just got a cheap Octavia vRS to add to the fleet, and was wondering what the supported cars list is like (I know it comes with a CD of files, but no ching chong meow operators will give me a list of supported ECU codes).

I've got a bench harness and a couple of spare ECUs, and I'm not afraid of bricking anything either :)

Anyone pulled the interface apart to figure out the credit system either? Guessing it's going to be PIC based?

Don't throw money for nothing. Just go to the local tuner.

If I had the choice, I'd standalone it and fit a huge turbo, but I already have a car like that. It's against my nature to pay for something that I could develop and learn myself. I like the idea of the Revo flash tool, but I disagree with their business practices surrounding their 5 hour software trials (i.e. returning it to a lower power configuration).

I don't particularly want to tune the car, I've bought it because I've not owned a 1.8T before and it was cheap so I thought I'd have a play. I'm not a n00b looking for cheap/free tune.

I've been thinking the same thing, over the past few days (mates got a Passat TDi Sport, as a daily hack). Have you bought the China REVO clone yet?

[v8 dave]

No, but I think I'm about to give it a shot anyway. At the very least, I could immo off a bunch of ECUs from the scrapyard and flash them to make my money back if it doesn't cover my cost. Actually quite liking the Skoda, bit gutless though. I think it's had a Revo trial in the past, as it couldn't pull the dick off a chocolate mouse but has no error codes.

Revo clone won't immo off most ecu's.

[v8 dave]

Didn't say it would; my eprom programmer will though :)

Leave Revo maps alone - trial or paid versions!!

Use independent tuner, or buy a cheap flash tool and send file to reputable tuner
