I see DTUK have had their brand new Skoda vRS on the rolling road.
Same engine as the golf GTD mk7

Standard it produced 181bhp  and 385Nm
Fitted with their box = 226bhp and 490nm

Thats some impressive results, already knocks a mk6 stage 2 for six and although the dpf is probably even less restrictive than its ever been I'm sure there will be more to come with more development

They dynoed the stock car and got exactly 181Bhp? Output of the MK7 TDIs seem very precisely controlled by the ECU if that isn't massive coincidence. A true 226Bhp after upgrade is pretty impressive.
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

To me that just shows the dyno and dyno operator they used know what their doing and its setup reasonably accurate. Most cars on a correctly setup and operated dyno produce stock or near stock figures if not its normally the rolling road setup at fault.
For reference the rolling road used was at shark performance and im sure they had no reason to make any coincidences for a rival mapper..

Cheers mate. Did they mention if it was the stage 1 or stage 2 kit?

No they did not say.  Im sure more info will come out tomorrow as it was only posted at about 11pm last night.
I just thought it may interest mk7 owners.

It won't Be stage 2 as they would need to unlock the ecu to turn the dpf regen off, the boxes that offer two stages aren't really stage 2

Having the Dyno read 181 Bhp for stock is a good reference point anyway for gains proportional to stock if nothing else. It could also mean that the old days of VW understating their engine outputs might be at an end if they do now have the level of control in the ECU to peg GTD output to 184PS and the GTI to 220PS with very little variance.

It's a pity these boxes (as with most of the competition) are sold on their mpg gains too. The only mog going up is the discrepancy between indicated (as displayed in the MFD) and actual (brim method of determination). More fuel through on any given throttle pedal press. Buy for the power gains only.

Or do they mean "stage 2" as in dual channel system rather than single channel (common rail only)?
