Obviously you weren’t going to race on public roads
250 sounds very optimistic for a basic OBD tune on a standard turbo with all the emissions filter guts still in the exhaust system. That’s the sort of power Darkside would get out of a hybrid turbo.
Much better to have a *reliable* tune producing less headline power with controllable traction in a road car.
Chucking enough fuel into the engine (when running standard turbo and exhaust) to get power levels approaching 250 bhp would give you worse fuel economy than a 245bhp petrol GTI…
