They state up to 353BHP & 500 NM of Torque but the graphs show a max of 320BHP on 98RON? Which to be honest isn't much of a gain over Stage 1...

The image with the GTI also states 320BHP and 330LBFT Torque which is less than 450NM. This leads me to believe that the claimed 350+BHP/500NM torque is only achievable with race fuel..

My best dyno pull with just the intake and Stage 1 was 315BHP and 322LBFT, that was on a very accurate dyno.

So a gain of 5BHP and 8LBFT torque for the cost of an uprated Intercooler (£700) Full turbo cat back exhaust (£1500) and the Stage 2 upgrade from Stage 1 (£50) Doesn't seem great value for money to me. Even if you just get the Downpipe it's still extremely expensive for barely noticeable gains.

I can see why they've pinned back the power don't get me wrong. Off the line the car does struggle for traction over 300BHP.

I knew they'd shoot themselves in the foot releasing figures that are too high for stage 1.

Admittedly stage 2 has usually been about the area under the curve though, anyone fancy overlaying the 2 graphs :smiley:?

I have a car coming back next week for the stage 2 upgrade. it will be interesting to see what my (heartbreaker) dyno makes of it.

I hope it's good, as I have booked mine in on 10th June at JKM Portsmouth for said upgrade.
