Update on my 08 TR GTI
greygti:
It does make a big difference low down and midrange ! Niki also mentioned the Airtec stage 2 intercooler is a very good piece of kit it never exceeded 30 degrees c , his maps have come a long way in 2 years
greygti:
Wonder what would happen if ya crossed that chain/barrier haha
GrayMK5GTI:
^ your absolutely right. All the other tuners have long given up messing with the TFSI maps and are too busy playing with the latest VAG engines (mk7 at the minute). Niki keeps finding new ways of improving things :happy2:
I'll be going to R-Tech sometime in the next 6 weeks so if I'm feeling brave I might stick a leg beyond the chain just to see what happens :scared:
bigmig95:
Looking good :happy2: Am running very similar setup and over at R-tech end of October. Interesting to see how my numbers compare with yours and other recent stage 2+ KO3's.
In your opinion does the low / mid range torque increase transform the car from the stage 1.5 @ 311lb/ft vs stage 2+ 355lb/ft. :driver:
Still trying to justify in my head the hardware spend from stage 1 to 2+ including the same clutch swap you've had.
greygti:
It's a big difference in peak torque and torque across most of the midrange , peak power isn't much higher but that's not what ko3's are about, it a big outlay for the stage 2+ hardware but chances are my next car will be a TFSI engined car anyway I.e Cupra R 265 or audi s3 so intake , LOBA hpfp and intercooler will all fit
Vw contributed to a new clutch after the car had wings fitted and painted/blended under warranty and the car was collected with 3 miles on the clock where they had ragged it and f*cked the clutch !! I nearly smashed the place up , got nothing out of them anyway I handled it-until my wife started tweeting vw about it and they gave me the money for a new DMF and clutch took the cheque off them(after refusing point blank to let them do the work) and made up the difference to buy a helix = happy days .
