Its down to personal taste IMO.

If its torque spikes your wanting with your maps then we are NOT the company for you. I can see why your car feels quick now. 50lbft of torque spike will give a really nice kick up the backside and make you grin.






That map looks familiar lol

Im having a downpipe and cat fitted tommorow by jkm and my car will be back on the rollers for a comparrison on saturday with briskoda.co.uk RR day.

Thanks for your reply, will come up to your next RR day. Cheers for the invite :smiley:

The downpipe and sports cat will transform your car yet again, in theory you can hold the peak load for around another 750rpm+  without the worry of too much heat build up.

If you like the feel of the torque you have now you can afford to to hold it longer upto 3700+rpm.

I like smooth board torque bands, IMO you would also get a good result by loosing 30lbft of the peak and aiming for another 20lbft over at least another 2000rpm of the rpm range. The car would be much quicker.

Do you have any logs of you load request during a WOT run?

No i dont nick, unfortunatly when i had some logs done, i soon discovered Superchips had actually sent me the wrong map, manual instead of dsg version.My Logger person is away currently at sea for a few months so havent had chance to re-run it with the correct map.

Oh and just to update you nick, Superchips have ammended my map, so i havent got such a high torque curve as it was back then.
Saturday hopefully should reveal a better result with the addition of my downpipe.

This is another graph taking from my car just 1 week proir to the one you kindly showed .

Sorry if this has gone off tangent from R-techs thread.
