This Audi S1 was already well known to us, as we had already carried out both stage 1 and then stage 2 Revo conversions, using a full Milltek exhaust from the turbo back.
We added a Sachs performance clutch kit and Revo turbo muffler delete, Wagner competition intercooler and Revo induction kit. The Revo stage three conversion requires a larger turbo. A direct replacement for the factory IS20 turbo found on 2.0 TSI EA888.
By borrowing the turbo from its big brother the Audi S3, the is38 turbo is a bolt on solution and no modifications are necessary when replacing the turbo.There is a significant increase in performance without the need to open up the engine.
Part of the process of any remap is to data log the car on the road, in real world conditions, and, air flow to make sure everything is working correctly
The clutch pedal is much heavier than a stock clutch and subsequently takes a bit of getting used too. But the rate at which this car gains speed is nothing short of phenomenal.
The mid-range clout is totally absurd, with the S1 being all wheel drive making the extra power very usable.
This car is an absolute hoot to drive, but at the same time still remains perfectly usable as a daily driver, with like for like fuel economy, depending on your driving style.
Enhancing the vehicle with the Stock Turbo from the Golf R/Audi S3 and Revo ECU Software, gives you much more than an increased power and torque. Specifically calibrated software to improve the performance of the entire rev range.
Only Revo Performance ECU software maintains the safety features and additional driving feature, so you can enjoy each mode's unique features as usual. You can also choose between two pre-set fuel quality modes depending on which fuel you use. If you would like to do this yourself then the Revo SPS Software Switch is also available separately, which can be used to quickly convert fuel modes without the need to visit a Revo Authorised Dealer.
