Tuning Thread - Bits and Bobs

I will probably be the first mate as I've got one "pre-ordered" with Awesome GTI. Will post a vid up as soon as it comes. You fitted the intercooler yet? The standard cooling is pretty poor.

If you could do an in and an out noise is appreciate it. No not yet, shark are having the car for a week so ill pick it up next Saturday all being well. In the meantime I'll  be sporting a 1.6 megane lol so when I get it back it'll feel like a rocket!

Is that your dyno graph on Sharks FB page mate? Impressive BHP, how the hell have you managed to get over 500NM of Torque out that bad boy?

[GrahamFR]

aye buddy she be mine, cant wait to get her back, i might even have flames lol

Haha I bet! Is that power from your intercooler, intake & stage 1? Any other mods?

[GrahamFR]

intercooler being fitted today according to their page, so that I think is from the exhaust and intake, but hes using it to develop stage 1 and 2 maps so I cant comment for certain which map is what as I dont know

[Mr Savage]

To be fair it could be from stage 1 with the exhaust and intake. Forgot you had a BCS Exhaust. Was it just the Downpipe or you changed the whole system? Still has a CAT right?

Mine got to 300 (296 to be exact) and 412NM from just Stage 1. So with the intake and exhaust is expect to see about 315BHP close to what you have there and maybe 450NM torque on a good dyno pull. Could be that Shark are going for more torque on Stage 1 (like APR have done).

At Stage 2 I'd expect to be sat around 350-360BHP, especially once the intercooler is fitted. My concern is how much torque these engines are being pushed to. They are very high torque to begin with. Wonder how much the DSG box can take?
