top end speed
« on: 02 January 2007, 22:36 »
Hi all new to the forum
I have a 2001 plate gt tdi 130bhp re mapped to just under 200 bhp. For the 1st 3 months every thing was fine. acceleration was great top end spped was hitting 140 no problem,  but i have noticed a lack of top end power when going over 120mph.
The car pulls up to 120mph no problem and from there on its very slow.
I  was told to get a boost control valve from angel tuning who re mapped the car, but when speaking to demon tweeks they have never heard of any1 fitting one to a tdi.
Could it be a problem with the mapping itself as the car pulls great up to this point and no slip from the clutch. or maybe the gearbox
Any help would be appreciated
Scott

Best bet would be to get it on a rolling road.  Does it really matter if it struggles above 120mph though?!?
