Yes, I have downloaded a free app called EOBD Facile and bought a wifi connector that plugs into the diagnostics port.

Car is stage 2 - induction kit, front mounted twin spec inter cooler, uprated diverter valve and full scorpion sports exhaust.

What bhp did it run? Do you struggle with wheel spin in first and second gear?

It's running at 270bhp, power feels just right. Anymore and yes I think it would tricky.

Trying to do the 0-60 times with traction control on was not easy, kept pulling the power..

270 hp? i thought stage 2 is around 290? im thinking of getting a new diverter valve...do you notice a difference? Did you old one make noise when you put the induction kit on?

I was expecting a little more out of stage 2 having added sports cat and intercooler but it's all good good. The map was done by AMD so maybe if it was a Revo the figures would be slightly higher.

DV was upgraded as a recommendation before going stage 2  as it's a better quality part than the stock. Apparently they can fail if your car is tunned.. It's the GFB DV+. Didn't notice any change in sound. My gti is dsg tho so a get the burp which is cool. Full sports exhaust makes a big difference too.

I'm typing this on the crapper about to take family bowling and I want to go out for a blast now damn it!
