Awesome GTI

increase sound good Hurdy  outright power figures aren't important; usable power is what counts day to day

The way I understand the learning/settling in issue within the ECU is that it has a certain amount of built in automatic adjustment, so when a base map or remap is installed the ECU can adjust certain parameters ignition timing,fuelling, boost settings slightly to get the best results for the engine in question, this isn't a new thing the mk4 Golf and older VAG cars did it as well.
When intially mapped my car did low 290's and 2 weeks later it did 298, but this could also be down to a few more miles on the car.

Hurdy, did you manage to get a figure before the carbonio, as this is the only difference between our cars it does make me think.

No, unfortunately I didn't get an RR before the Carbonio. If I hadn't been stuck in traffic and been over an hour late I'm sure they would have accommodated me with the extra Rolling Roads though. It does sound encouraging that you managed a higher output after a couple of weeks settling in of the remap.

Hey hurdy congrats on the car, bet its awesome with the DSG and 285bhp. i wouldnt worry about the map learning thing, when i had mine done it felt alot faster, but once you have done 100 miles, it opens up even more!! i think its like 80% new power straight away and a further 20% as it learns the new software, or sumfin

Thanks Joe,

It feels realy, really eager on the throttle now before it was good, but this is now a car in a different league. I can't wait for next year and it's Santa Pod here I come

whats the reckonin for the carbonio got the chance of one? but seen some thread else where about diy direct feed for the car.

Congrats on the upgrades hurdy and thanks for the summary.  Sounds like it was worth the money!   How is the car handling in the twisty turnys with standard suspension and remap?  And is there any torque steer?

I would have personally likedd to have seen the difference before and after the Carbonio was fitted, but on a Rolling Road with air being fed into the car by fan I doubt if it would show much difference to the output. I suppose it would work better out on the open road though. It looks mint though

Congrats on the upgrades Hurdy. Im sure you are loving them.

Nice wright-up Hurdy, glad your happy with the upgrades   I really wanted the Milltek Turbo back system but it's all gone quiet on that front, I have left my name and number with Milltek and sent a couple of emails but nothing back as yet maybe I'll try some other mod's now...
