It cant cope with 300bhp, so what is the point?
Well, mine copes easily with just under that at 299bhp !
The way the map deploys the power makes a huge difference. Superchips older remap for the DSG Edition 30 is about 40bhp down on the newest version of the map at say 4000rpm ..... as they have upped the torque at lower revs for the newer map.
The newer map does require effectively warm conditions to deploy all the power ....otherwise it just spins up the wheels. The older map puts the power down fine in colder weather - as it is only about 20bhp up on standard at that point and not 60bhp (with the newer map) and the car copes fine.
It is more about where the power is and how aggressively it is deployed than the max power output. I went with Superchips as their delivery was, at the time, less aggressive than some other tuners.
I have tried, and have, the newer map .... but choose to keep the older one on the car at the moment until the weather gets better. As I say, both maps have identical peak power but are very different elsewhere - and IMO that is what makes the difference, not the actual level of the peak power.
FWIW, what car other than 4wd puts 300bhp down well in the weather conditions we have had recently ? None or not many I would think ....
