My car is now too powerful

Don't know why you K04 chaps bother remapping.

Power is higher up - it is a pussycat as standard at low revs.  A mild remap doesn't change that too much.

How much power you running through yours Hurdy??

325bhp and 382lbft

I think this is one of the side effects of no turbo lag in modern engines you have to be so light feeding in the throttle in the corners, which is tricky when you are pressing on. A mapped engine will amplify the problem. (270bhp would frighten me!)

There is no such thing as a car that is too powerful....only a right foot that is too heavy

Stick a Bluemotion badge on the back.
That'll baffle Subaruists in their £12000 brand new WRX's

Bloody Hell!!
Will a quaife enable you to get all that power down though??
Jeez, you must slide all over the place when putting your foot down!!

With that power you should be able to red line it in 6th.....you don't have to answer

Too quick for these slippy country roads around here.
That's the bluefin DSG upgrade.

Must organise that Quaife.

It will be OK once the roads warm up a bit 

When I had a TVR I never managed to get the power down in anything other than perfect conditions .... That car had 300 bhp as well but was obviously RWD . 

I think the problem is we expect a miracle because the car normally gets it's power down so well - 300 bhp through the front wheels is a hell of alot and if a TVR can't do it there is no way a Golf with a remap will do it any better.

TBH I think it copes with the power very well .... but I know what you mean - which is why I am still using the older DSG map by Superchips on my car instead of the newest more powerful one .... though that is sitting on the computer waiting to be uploaded 

How much HP does a TVR griffith have??? one the other day tried to keep up with round the roundabout and up the slip road, but couldnt keep up?

Wet weather is a challenge for the right foot, but DSG is bl00dy good at letting you meter in the power. I have had wheelspin in 4th in the damp.
A Quaife is more about control around corners, than straightline speed. The Quaife will help, but even that can only do so much until the mechanical grip is overcome to both wheels.

The TVR Griffith had 2 engines:-

4.3ltr - 280bhp and 320lbft - 1060kg
5.0ltr - 320bhp and 320lbft - 1060kg
