150 FTW  :cool: :rolleyes:
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...

I'm sure I seen a thread with the info I'm looking for but have search and can't find it so without installing a boost gauge where might my power peak be in terms of RPM on the stock 130?

how often do you rev to the redline anyway as the power tails off well before then

Peak torque on a standard map is at approx 1900rpm.  Peak power is at 4000rpm - there's a graph on my project thread showing a couple of runs when it was standard

Running the R-Tech spec 2 map peak torque is now at 2500rpm with peak power at approx 3100rpm

When's do you think the optimal shift might be then, around 4000rpm? I did have a look at your graphs but found them a little hard to comprehend. Making a little more sense now with a bit better understanding.

The Golf will probably take some getting used to for me, I’ve noticed the clutch slipping at high gears and a burning smell - I think I may have burned the clutch a little. I hope it was my driving and not the car but I was giving it a good hoofing. It certainly won’t last long post remap doing that but it’s hard to do such short shifts until you’re used to it and I just wanted to make sure everything is as it should be.

Standard map change up at 3000rpm

You'll find with the gear ratio's for 3rd, 4th and 5th it will drop you back to about 2000rpm, right in the meat of the torque :afro:

Spot on that has got to be why I was burning the clutch. I’m not used to the rev counter moving that fast :laugh:
