My car is going like a fooking rocket tonight.. :grin:There is an up side to this cold weather at least... Intake temps! :drool:
Just thought i'd share that with you guys... :grin:
-
Gotta love the cold weather :grin:. You running boost 9 with stage 2?
-
afaik increasing boost only increases throttle sensitivity and doesn't affect/alter hp.
-
Haha LOL, I know what you mean Ben. :cool:
Came home tonight and it felt like the tyres were ripping up the tarmac :evil:
-
Boost 8 mate.. Not changed any settings, as was only on a brief blast. But there will be plenty of time to have a play over the winter.. :wink:
The downside of this though, is that traction isn't the best... :sad:
Still got that hideous pause in power at 5500rpm just after gear change though. Corey seems to think it's turbo lag, so thinking a Forge DV is in order. Just hope that will sort it, not sure.. :undecided:
-
i would say get a dv on it as mine does not do that and i thought you had one on yours :huh:

No mate, just Revo and Milltek, nothing else.. Still got OEM intake too...
-
If yours wasn't a lease car Ben, I'm sure you would have slipped down the modding slope to the bottom already :grin: :grin:
Forge DV is easily swapped back. It is just that it is quite visible once the bonnet is lifted as it is right at the front in your line of sight.

I just switched the 'Race' map on and has been running all week now so gonna see what it can do this weekend.And its well cold here. :smiley:
-
LOL! I was gonna post a similar thread after driving home from work early this morning! 6 degrees and the Golf was Mc lovin it!!! :grin:
-
I noticed this mornin, mentioned it to luca earlier, it makes the car feel real crisp :laugh:
-
Did you get it on the rollers today Gaz?
-
yes pal, 277.8 at the wheels, given the 40-45 trans losses, bout 320bhp
-

Good starting point that Gaz
The modding slope is no less slippy for having 4WD :grin:

Nice one bud.. :wink: But 40-45% losses would give you about 380+bhp if my maths aint to shabby, so can't ne that much, surely...? :huh:
-
Think he means 40-45 bhp losses mate :wink:. Think its past your bed time :grin: :grin:
-
no you numpty :laugh:
40-45bhp not %
-
no you numpty :laugh:
40-45bhp not %
:grin: :grin: :grin:

Really want to get mine on the rollers now. May pay for a before and after rr when i get the downpipe put on. Will give an idea of what the downpipe increases hp by.

Once the DP and sports cat is on mate, you should be making around 320.. Going off mine anyway (same mods etc)..
-
Now imagine if your charge was that cold all the time what it would go like when it gets colder :)
-
I have the ITG panel filter though ben, that should be good for at least 10bhp extra :laugh: :laugh:

Oh at least... Forgot about that. You'll slay me at Pod with that bad boy.. :grin:
You found out anymore about sunday yet? Oh and we need to get this group buy (or me and you anyway :grin:) sorted for the Forge DV. Wouldn't mind it for Pod.. See if it will sort this bloody lag out.. :undecided:
-
Cant make it on sunday as i managed to get tickets to the thai boxing fight, 5 fighters from our gym so need to show my support really :smiley:
Really want the forge dv but think it will be after the pod as im skint at the mo, spent too much on the car :grin:
I think forge will offer 10% discount for any forum member, i remember someone saying on here, sure it was stevep.
That means we can get them for £135 each, im going to have a go at fitting it myself.
Maybe gaz will be tempted to get one too :smiley:

Don't think they are to hard to fit on the Ed30 anyway.. Pain in the arse on the standard GTI IIRC as it's near the turbo..
-
Its always good to have a go yourself sometimes as you will learn alot about the car while doing it, even if it takes you hours to do it like i probably will :grin:
-
Its not to bad on the ED30, I fitted mine. Think it depends how fussy you are, I'm proper fussy :smiley:
-
With this cold weather this morning, should do our rolling road figures good!!, im gonna go 1st before the rain arrives!!!
-
Good luck phil :smiley:

Thai boxing?, good friend of mine has his own gym in manchester, fought muay thai at a very good level, think he was british champion for a time, Frank Brown, also fights under the name Frank Udders, you know him Luca

I was out playing with mine last night, complete with new dbilas. Wheelspin in second in the dry in a straight line on high grip tar says it all :grin:
