I've always wondered about that DP on Bens car and his impressive power/torque figures, but when coming to buy 1 I've always gone for the larger bore because I only want buy once and you never know what mods you may get up to in the future :smiley:
Revo stg2+ & lots more

I strongly suspect that if you use the standard DP with a stage 2 map your EGTs will be sky high and may damage the cat.
Without traction power is nothing!

I would prefer not to find out the limits of the K04 TFSi engine myself, but I have yet to hear of a car with most of the add ons and Revo get tested ie Fuel Pump, Dbilas, TBE, Intercooler, Revo Stage 2.

I do however know of such a car with these mods and it is being tested on Saturday. Not sure what the settings will be yet with regard to Boost Fuel and Timing. Same car with just Revo, Carbonio and Full TBE made 321bhp and 295ft-lbs with settings 6 Boost 6 Timing and 9 Fuel earlier this year.

8 Boost, 6 Timing and 8 Fuelling or 7 Boost, 6 Timing and 9 Fuelling may be used so as not to get an appalling spike of torque and massive drop off thereafter. Peak figures are not really relevent when they are at the top of a big spike - a lower figure on a piece of flat would be better :smiley:
