It's a really peaky curve for the power and all that power comes in quite early in the rev range. A K04 hybrid would give a much better curve.
I've been a passenger in this car and it really is MENTAL :laugh:
James wanted all out crazy power, and that is exactly what he got. Niki spent 3 days and 2 tanks of fuel getting this right on the dyno.
At JKM dyno day it made more power than a BT setup and nearly pulled itself out of the dyno :scared:
Niki wouldn't send any average joe with this level of power, unless they understood what they were letting themselves in for (like James) it's a real specialist setup.
Would love to see what Niki could do with yours Pikey :drool: his new VVT mapping would help to spool that turbo earlier for starters :notworthy:

Might be better of asking @J14RKL as he's the one who owns this now.

James has sold this to James Arkell - he's on TFSI Tuning FB group. I remember the clutch pedal was pretty heavy :laugh:
J14RKL:
Only just seen this.
Yes i now own this car.
Clutch is very heavy but you get used to it. It has managed to break 4 sachs master cylinders and 2 FTE Masters. Also one fluid damper thingy....
I have changed to a 1 piece braided line to help with it.
