@AJP what's your spec as cannot see a build or post for yours?

thanks mate, don't want to do the pcv delete in all honesty as I don't fancy smoking more than I already am :laugh: so the boost tap will have the pcv pipe fitted to it or I may just tap into the turbo but not a clue what size T piece I need :thinking: :thinking:

Best way I can describe mine is that it pulls in 3rd like a Stage 1 car pulls in 2nd. It's addictive. And of course mine is still on the Stage 2 map with the standard airbox and IC...!
2+ with water-meth will be mega.

like this with a new toy :jumping: :signLOL:
Bro you need to step up the game and get that filter and tweek done arty:
I'm so excited thinking about it :rolleye:

It'll happen mate. Right now I'm enjoying the car behaving itself (after all the fun and games with those misfires) and looking to get some coilovers and an anti-lift kit as my next mods. Booked in for the mk7 Clubsport brakes in January.
Then I'll turn my attention back to more powahh..!!!

I don't have a build thread mate, maybe one day...!
This graph is from my Stage 2 R-Tech map. Only mods were a Pipercross panel filter (negligible gain) and a full Powervalve with 200 cell cat:
So 269bhp (let's call it 270...) and 345lb/ft. The lower graph is the car on the existing Stage 1 R-Tech map with the Powervalve and panel filter (260bhp 320lb/ft) before Niki did his stuff.
I worked it out that I'd gained about 25bhp and 49lb/ft between Stage 1 with standard hardware (245bhp 296lb/ft) and Stage 2 with the mods. I'd really put 95% of the gain down to the Powervalve.
I fitted a Loba fuel pump soon after that to cure the odd fuel cut I was getting. I'm still on that Stage 2 map, and no other hardware was changed at that point. It feels like I've gained an extra 10-15lb/ft of torque with the Loba, but not just at a peak, it's a much bigger spread of torque and makes it so much stronger. It just boosts hard and flies.
It's quite impressive how well it goes for a car with just an uprated pump, Powervalve, and the 'wrong' map!
I'll be sorting an S3 cooler and a good intake like I mentioned, then getting the map tweak to 2+. I'd imagine I'll hit somewhere in the 280s in terms of bhp and 360+ lb/ft of torque.

Very impressive AJP, looks like I'll be getting the most out of my bolt ons then :grin:

totally understand as the misfiring issue was no fun I'm sure.
Glad it's not returned too :happy2:
AJP:
Thanks mate. It was a ball ache. But nowhere near the stress of your insurance fiasco!
Good that you can now press on with the build and create the car you want. Onwards and upwards
