Thats a 2000, didn't know Revo had plans to do BT tunes for that year seeing that it doesn't have a wide band 02 sensor like the 01+ cars have. Tuning the pre 01 cars is much harder then the 01+ cars.

it's wierd cause more then one place has shown me that my model engine/ecu code onlycame from 2000-2001.5, so it is becoming very hard because even though i know it is a 2000, when i try to match engine codes since im not aeb the parts don't show up right, i've had to buy and return different parts, since my motor runs into the 01+ cars, i don't know why it's hard and it shouldn't, but it is.but the place around by my house(dynamic motorworks) said theytalked to revo and revo will do it .so that is what im left with. now when i get around to it, i would like to throw the synapse syncronic bov through the companies window because that was the worst 250 dollars i spent, it messed my car up so bad, i had to put back on my old hks ssq bov, that is another thing everyone says that a bov creats idle problems and throughs engine codes but it is different with mine, it idles normal, i though no codes, i don't get a rich or lean condition due to it so why change it.

whew im done venting.

yeah the problem is that most sites just throw different years together. The ATW and 018P was only used in 2000. The 2001 got a completely different block, head and different ecu since thats the first year to use the wide band 02.

I own a late build 2000 ATW that came with the 018P ecu.


BOV's dont cause idle issues unless the spring is too soft causing it to be open during idle. It does cause a slight rich condition when you lift off the throttle quickly, then it goes to lean like it should. This will not throw a code and you wont see it on a vagcom log, but it isn't going to cause any issues.
