Nice one Mr PG!  :smiley:

Now, about that little bet we have going for the 1st  :embarassed:

LOL, I am sure on the Dyno Dynamics rollers @ Weston Performance it will have a lower reading anyway so the mug could still be yours  :laugh: :laugh:

Sounds like a result there :cool:

Just a thought though, 366nm is 270lbft - Do Richter restrict the torque for DSG tuning as most remaps (V-tec's = 350lbft+ = 475nm+) get over 300lbft = 400nm+ ?

Yep the torque is quite a bit lower than other tuners remaps and they do also restricted a bit more for DSG cars over the manual transmission version.

This is just their baseline for a car without any other mods, if I go the TBE Milltek route they have said that the good improvements can be made in this area.  :smiley:

You will have a PM in about 30 seconds  :wink:

Nice one Mr PG!  :smiley:

Now, about that little bet we have going for the 1st  :embarassed:

LOL, I am sure on the Dyno Dynamics rollers @ Weston Performance it will have a lower reading anyway so the mug could still be yours  :laugh: :laugh:


I don't mind either way mate  :wink:

You need to get a Milltek TBE though mate! What an amazing difference, feels as though theyv'e strapped another turbo in under there!!!  :evil: Oh and the sound is  :evil:

Indeed I do  :cry:, I even tried saying to the SWMBO when I got back yesterday that the garage said I really needed one and that it would save money in the long term as it had the lifetime warranty etc  :grin:

I did get some progress as it was agreed IF my tax bill for last year wasn't as bad as expected then i MIGHT be granted to some budget to get one  :wink:

Good to hear you've got sorted with the power you should have mate. Although this doesn't do SC any favours with yet another car needing to be mapped twice to get it's proper power (how many other owners are out there not knowing this I wonder  :undecided:)..
Like has been said already, ideally you need to get back on the SAME rollers (JKM) to see if there is a 25bhp difference.. Should be though, after all you pay your monies...  :wink:
