Hi, Hurdy!
Thank you for taking your time with my questions, I really appreciate that!
1)
Many questions because it is a big thing for me, this Stage 2 tuning (also, very expensive). Moreover, I am so seldom here on the forum, so once I am here I take the opportunity to ask as much as possible!
2)
I've had the car on the dyno. That happened after I had a small crash (I crashed into a lorry) in November and my water leaked, eventually had to replace the front bumper, the hood, some other parts. After that I went to Oettinger to have the 300/400 soft installed again, but the car did not feel as explosive as before the crash. I had talks with VW garage that fixed the car, I had talks with Oettinger, they talked with each other. I went to Oettinger and they again installed the soft, and then we went on the dyno for race cars that run on slicks (I did not know about that before we went there). The rollers on the dyno were therefore clean, shiny, even metal, and my wheels slipped a bit during the test, so only showed 290hp, and no torque curve (dyno was old, I guess). At least I have 290hp, though I don't know if that means in the engine or on the wheels.
Once I do Stage 2 I'll find real dyno, with rollers good for normal road tyres, and do the test.
3)
Those 1,2,3 points you mention, they will materialize even without sport cat?
4)
I've done above 258 on speedo in France last year, on original 230hp.
But now with lowered and hard KW V2 I am afraid to go above 240 on German autobahns, for fear something will fall off.
You have -30mm as well, don't you? I wonder how you drive.
In fact, I once had 2 passengers, and when turning to the left on a side road, over a smallish curb (maybe 7 centimeters high and with soft edge), my front right wheel touched the arch and bent the metal out, now I have to repaint the whole wing.
You may be faster than RS, because you have DSG and because you are the ambassador of tuned E30s.
Don't you have 500Nm under the bonnet, LSD, weight reductions, etc? I am not that advanced.
5)
I somehow understand the advantages of bigger bore pipes and clearer cross-section of the cat, but realistically, how do I get those 330/460 WITHOUT the sports cat, while the guys here, who have full Millteks, get the same numbers?
And if I then later put in sports cat I'll see even better throttle response and more power, is that what you are saying?
6)
Can I ask another question? What do you think about only installing rear arb (the car is jiggly at the front as it is, do not want to make it worse with bigger front arb)? Do you know if Eibach is thicker than what is originally put on E30?
