Best place for a rolling road run in Midlands

[SteveMK7.5]

Hi all

I’m interested in getting my mk7.5 gti performance rolling roaded to see its true figures standard.

Its a performance pack car which is supposed to have around 245 bhp I believe however it feels more than this, it feels as quick if not a little quicker than my old version 1 Subaru Stu wagon prior to it being mapped, that was nearer 260 bhp.

Any recommendations appreciated

Thanks

Steve

Depends on where you are in the midlands but I'd recommend https://www.stealthracing.co.uk/ in Southam. It's run by proper VW enthusiasts.  Web site isn't up to much but have a look on FB for more info.

The power in the golf is known for being under guestimated and on other forums they have had theirs on a rolling road and had higher power figures than quoted as stock.

I’m based in Staffordshire but work in Wolverhampton so anywhere local to either would be useful, must be a decent company no fly by night shyster

Try P-Torque in Wolverhampton. Will is a well respected turner on the BMW forums and has been around for years

Thanks, it’s not about willy waving, it’s purely for my own curiosity

The whole concept is not accurate enough - on the day comparison, yes. But you aren't going to prove VW 'wrong'.
