Mapped for V-Power...

[Yohan]

v-power is a myth, placebo effect

Lmfao, the placebo effect is a human trait, you can't apply it to a car, either it gets more power or it doesn't.......

well done jim (clap, clap) your car drive itself then? LMFAO

I'd quit before you embarrass yourself further...

It should be fine mate, just don't go caning it, my a3 said only high octane, but would feel slower less responsive if using normal, but mine wasn't mapped so I could of ran it on normal If I wanted too!

I'd like too see how my mk2 golf when mapped on v-power would react if using normal, I reckon it could be  bad having no knock sensors!

It's called being stingy if you fuel with normal if it requires high !

all depends on your engine TBH,   some enignes NEED high octane counts others dont.

IIRC all cars made in the EU have to be abel to run safely on 91 octane pond water ( even if output is reduced )  they are often very happy on 95  and the extra octane points that super gives arn't really required.   if your remapped and turboed  there may be a bit of differance  proably a bit more spark on but if they've upped the boost fuel is likely been shoved in by the bucket to keep the cylinder temps down so it not that likely to knock and then you still have the knock sensors so the ecu will pull the timeing if it dose knock  so your enigne isn't going to fall apart.

if you have a heavly modifyed engine things are a littel diffrent.

mates hillclimb car has an engine desinged to run on 120+ octane oxigenated fuel,  it's a very high compression engine and runs a LOT of spark to make it power,  it'll run on pump fuel but you have to retard the timeing that much to stop it knocking that it melts the exhaust valves

Standard unleaded is 95
Super unleaded is 97ish (Vpower is 97 too from what I remember)
Tesco momentum is 99

They run 105 in Japan, and we all know what there cars can be tuned to 

I used to use Vpower but switched to Tesco for the points........every little helps lol
I did notice a better response higher in the revs from Vpower and momentum

[Len]

I have used both on both my cars and never found any diference!
Also done RR's and no difference in figures! You'll get a bigger difference between the Rolling Roads themselves!

[Wazzzer]

was your car specifically mapped for SUL though? If not you won't see any difference in power

LMFAO - It gets better.......

[MaXXeH]

i can notice with my car, it runs like a bag of sh!t lol.

[bobbieboy69er]

dont they alter the ignition to what fuel is put in?  So if you have v-power in the engine you ECU will automatically alter timing etc.  Im sure R-tech told me that.... could be wrong

[Chillly]

Doc or Rtech may tell us but i asked Amd once and they said they will map to 99 oct but if you use 95 oct then your car will not give you the remap bhp until you use 99 again. Our last audi 58 plate tts ran on 95 most of the time and 99 when i was at tesco and for some reason the car took about 50 miles before seeing any differance. Placebo effect dont know But doc or Rtech may help with this. Doc Rtech Help Guys im asking alot of questions is that ok as im a newbe? Great forum by the way
