OK, post up your graphs.

Here's mine:





Any comments?

I'd like to see what differences between IATs peeps got.

Did your gti just have the uprated ICs TT?

Did your gti just have the uprated ICs TT?

Yup.  Well it has another few non-engine mods too - but they wont affect how many ponies are under the bonnet.  So the intercoolers give an extra 8 ponies over stock.

Nice torque curve on yours T_T, seems that the Intercoolers help hold boost??,rather then falling away like most ive seen on jkm's rollers.

[Hurdy]

SWMBO not fancy a remap TT?

Superchips maybe


I must say it does look a rather smooth curve for both torque and power.

Thanks mate.  Yes, the uprated coolers do help at the top end - quite a lot.  It is much more apparent with the 'mk1 butt dyno' 

And it is why I tried to persuade RedRobin to go down this route when he had his turbo issues.  OK, whilst they will never make up for what a K04 can offer at top end, the uprated coolers do cancel out one of the main limitations of the K03, whilst still retaining the K03s low down bottom end.

Dunno about her, but I do!    And after a turbo back unres milly! 

Superchips maybe

Cough, cough.  My ears must be going dicky!

Yeah, I was well pleased with it.  Not bad power for OEM map, particularly as Jim explained that an OEM map will always try and 'top out' at 200PS/197bhp.

You convinced this Rob anyway. I got a deal on a Twintercooler following some tips from TT. Got it powder coated black as well. Not had it fitted yet but hopefully it will give that little extra the top end needs.

BTW my car standard made 199.2bhp and 230lbft on JKM rollers last year.

Powder coated - yikes, that isn't too good.  If it is powder coated, then the thickness of the actual coating will impair its efficiency quite a bit.  A thin 'flash coat' of matt or satin black is all that is needed.  No primer, no clearcoat - just a very thin colour coat.

Anyway, how many notes did you have to lay out?

And what about adding the S3 cooler too?

230lbft is good!

....I may uprate my cooler in time, but it has to be one step at a time on the slippery slope!

I'll be posting my plots later tonight (hopefully!)
