Bit lumpy at tick over, then reasonably smooth and chilled up to 4000rpm. From 4000 to the redline it sounds like it wants to kill something. Pretty standard VW 16v behaviour pattern really!

Love and hate, war and peace, joy and sadness... all just crap that happens between trackdays!

Boo...can't find a clip of my 16v on the dyno.
Got the 911 and S3 (now that was an angry sounding 1.8T) but no 16v.

Reducing my Golf count by the week....
..but gaining motorcycles.

Another, not great. Just a vid of spinning wheels and sounds of boost and misfire :D

Really can't wait to get it running sweet again and get a decent vid!!!

Heres a couple of vids of my dyno run earlier this year at Stealth:

1 vid from the front perspective... (about 20 secs in before it kicks off in 4th gear)

View My Video

And the rear/exhaust perspective on the 2nd run...
