Awesome Rolling Road Day

[gazbutmk5gti]

Hurdy kept a record of the results I'm sure he'll post them but he's probably in bed he was working last night.
Think he made 304bhp of the top of my head

looks to have been a good day out folks, good turn out from the mk5's.
be good to see the results.

[joesgti]

not such a good day for me ran 201bhp after remap and carbonio and forge dv. Suspect a boost leek from the turbo or DV area as the noise coming from the car is very distinct hissing sound. its booked in at awesome next tuesday so will all be sorted, ill also run it again whilst im there to see what shes running. was a good morning thow and good to put some names to faces shame i had to leave early, id have loved a go in the awesome mk5

Had a really good day myself, well pleased with the results, my car did 305bhp with just a APR remap and carbonio and standard exhaust .
Credit goes to T30GUE making the effort of driving from Swansea and I was really liking NEGS mk5 it was just so right, as a few of the others have said Awesome's car is a rocket and thanks to Mark for taking us all out in it, think he quite likes showing it off, the mans a lunatic
Thanks again to Awesome for making everything run smoothly the service was top notch as per usual.
How was the drive home Tom, you seemed to be enjoying the extra power when I was with you on the dual carriageway and up onto the motorway, bet it made a sight 2 breathed on ED30's getting used to there full potential

Thanks to everyone for a good day

Yeah I had a great ride home, I spent 4hrs in it yesterday, only got 2 hours left of the trial map now  The prospect of it going back to standard power makes me sad. I have to wait over a week for that POWER again  :embarassed:

[Hurdy]

As everyone's already said, it was great meeting up with the guys on here and chatting "shop" about our VW's . Tom couldn't stop smiling after he went for a spin in his trial mapped ED30. Top respect for everyone who travelled so far to get there and to Awesome for looking after us all. 

 We decided to make things a little more interesting on the day by letting the runners guess their BHP before running and here are the results (rounded to the nearest full bhp):-


Member                  Car          Est. BHP         RR BHP
Daz16v                  VR6            190               191
MarkS               MKII GTI 8V      115               113
gazbutmk5gti       MKV ED30       298               305
rik1985austin    Corrado 2.0 16v  136               144
joesgti                MKV GTI         260               200  (had some sort of air leak)
T880MM              MKV ED30       245               256
Neg                    MKV GTI         250               256
Hurdy                 MKV ED30       300               304
T30GUE               MKV GTI         240               236  (poss MAF fault)
john_o                MKV ED30       240               259

and for reference Awesome's DSG GTI car did 375 bhp - (I need this power!!!!!!!)

Some people left early and missed out on Mark giving demo rides in their car and people would have paid extra for that experience

[john_o]

SUPERB 

yep thats what is was.
Really nice bunch of people , and some cool cars.
old skool vs turbo power.

Very slick running from Awesome
Great clipboard work by Hurdy  , loved the install
Thanks to Neil for losing my DSG virginity , it is as good as they say it is
And std ED30 vs remapped GTI there really is very little difference.

Absolutely made up with ~ 255 flywheel which for std ED30 is  but it was darn cold
Toms also made the same figure , I reckon Ed30 values are gonna rise even further.
Gaz thanks for the offer , but i KNOW where that road leads , and I must resist until the weddings over 
Rest assured APR WILL happen , be rude not to its free power (almost)

Also loved to see the 16V and VR6 getting spanked , the new units certainly have lost that vocal side.
Only a real shame to see no R32 drivers  , where were you all?
 
Awesome's name is well deserved on what I saw, superb 
The demo car is  , REALLY surprised how well it copes with 375 bhp without an LSD.
For me the brakes are what shines , must resist lol
Thanks to kae for organising 

Nice one everyone, good to meet you all.
MkV 3dr GTI ED30 Manual , 6k miles , running roughly 50/50 mix of ultimate/Tesco 99 , and here the plot
255 @ flywheel
230 @ wheels

Sounds like it was good fun.. wish I had of come now :embarassed:

Oh well there is always next time

[SO8]

I can't wait to get my Ed 30 .... should be at earliest tomorrow - latest at the weekend 

Seeing all the standard Ed 30s making 250 'ish is great 

Perhaps it helps explain why the test drive in a 12K miler felt so damned quick !

[T88OMM]

Put some miles on it then get it mapped, you think its fast in standard form, it is an absolute looney machine when its mapped, words can't describe it!! 

[gazbutmk5gti]

U back to standard yet pal
