Jay's Golf Coupe "racek0r" project
rdfcpete:
Looking smart Jay, TDI tuning looks to be a rapidly growing market which is good for us boys I guess. Darkside stuff seems to be proving hard to beat.
I spoke to Alex in the week about popcorn limiters and stuff, is that something you're gonna have? They make even straight 4 diesels sound the mutts nutts.
Assuming you'll be stage 2+, what kind of figures are you aiming for?
Whacking a Peron intercooler on?
Have to catch you at AKS sometime soon, been meaning to catch @Tfsi_Mike there for about 2 years now :laugh: :grin:
GrayMK5GTI:
@rdfcpete - don't think there is a 2+ in TDI tuning, it's either stage 2 or 3. The only cars that have "+" are TFSIs as the HPFP is a partial stage.
I'm down at AKS on the 10th Jan :happy2:
rdfcpete:
@GrayMK5GTI Ah okay. I perhaps wrongly thought some people referred to that as stage "2+" meaning stage or greater, although I dunno if the CR170 has a stage 3(?) and doesn't have a stage 2+ from what you've said :grin: :signLOL: :popcornsoda:
Yours is still mapped too isn't it, with Revo?

Cheers Pete, yes Darkside are good. Expensive, but good.
Unfortunately there is limited options out there. Their parts are expensive but labour rates are actually pretty fair.
£300 to fit the new turbo and do the new pipework too.
I guess it would be stage 3.. on these engines I imagine Stage 4 would be when new fuelling comes out for public consumption which won't be any time soon. :sad1:
I have a hard cut limiter (aka popcorn) at the moment. Without a rude boy exhaust you won't hardly hear it, no practical gain, just sounds nice and makes it feel a bit more racekor.
Gonna do some exhaust noise videos soon anyway and upload them.
Aiming for around 240bhp and 360 ft lb (up on my 194bhp and 340ft lb). All in all it's costing me about £5k to get this 2260 set up installed and mapped with associated parts. It's a lot of money but I'm hoping it will be worth it for the long term - Being that when fuelling upgrades are available I can buy a new head, get it ported and in effect have a head swap and uprated fuelling and be good for over 300bhp.
Main thing is a virtually flat power line from 2800 rpm to the redline looking at the other CR 2260 kits Darkside have done (only two or three). This Rocco already feels quicker than the GTI did standard because of the way it holds the power, for a diesel it's impressive.
I have a deal with Darkside and basically it means I needed to buy everything from there. so I have one of their own branded 'S3 intercoolers' coming.
I'm down at AKS on the 12th of February getting both that and my new Helix paddle clutch fitted.
Graeme what are you getting done in January!? :notworthy:

Haha thanks.
Certainly beats having a beast in my pants. :love: :ashamed:

Wow!
Your build thread reads like my wish list.
A simple Revo remap has transformed my car so a downpipe is my next "Must"!
Looking forward to all your videos and further mods.
