Definitely driving time! I had one on my old R32.  A mate also had one at the same time and it knackered his ECU :undecided:

Driving time is good news  :grin:

How does it switch back to stock ?......and does it leave any trace of having a remap ?

....Interesting comparisons - On my Stage1 GTI (with various hardware mods) my turbo kicks in at about 2,000 revs, which is considerably lower than you guys are reporting. Power doesn't drop off dramatically further up the rev range either.

Red, your car has a different turbo which spools up earlier in the rev range than the ED30, but also tails off earlier in both standard and remapped versions. :nerd:

....Ah yes, I was forgetting (K03 instead of K04 IIRC). As I have earned 2 x 3 pts both for exactly 93 mph (on dual carriageway A-roads) and 2 x let-offs by unmarked cars both for in the 90's, I'm glad I don't have any more power at higher revs! My car is fast enough for the German autobahns unrestricted sections though. I need to take it easy.

Ouch!

I'd rather get fined like that than for what mine was for. 3 points for driving at 41 in a 30, just 50 yards after it had gone from the national speed limit!! :angry:

....Definitely "Ouch!" on the first two, being points. But "Phew!!" on the second two, being let-offs with warnings.

I actually stick rigidly to the 20, 30, 40 limits and have been trained to arrive at the actual sign at the legal speed and not to exceed it until my shoulders are level with the GLF sign.






GLF? - Go Like f**k!! The NSL 70's are the ones I have trouble with when the road/traffic conditions are clear. Just like a good horse, a good car needs to be given free rein occasionally.
