Fitted a new fuel pump follower as I've never done it in the 3 years I've owned the car 2 of which it's been remapped ! Old one was hardly worn at all, at the same time I fitted a new down pipe bracket ( bush had cracked on the old one)

Fully detailed her today clay'd then an enhancement polish then waxed it with zymol glasur and field glaze detailer , fully decontaminated the wheels and waxed with AF mint rims
The last time it was mapped @ r-tech it got 260 bhp and 311 lbft stage 1.5( with a K+N typhoon and 3" turbo back jetex) it's gonna be getting an uprated intercooler fitted in the next few weeks and is booked into r-tech at the end of September niki's maps gave come on in 2 years -so hopefully I'll net some more bhp and torque with the new hardware and map !!

280 bhp and 355 lbft , more than happy with that , niki reckons with some preload on the actuator or a new actuator theres more to come
Big thanks to niki , Ben and the rest of the staff at R-tech for there tremendous work and customer service !

Niki's new VVT mapping makes a massive difference lower down :drool:
Never seen such a strong curve from any other tuner

Wonder what would happen if ya crossed that chain/barrier haha
Post by: GrayMK5GTI on October 01, 2014, 07:17:18 am
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:
Post by: bigmig95 on October 01, 2014, 09:54:20 am
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.
Post by: greygti on October 01, 2014, 08:03:30 pm
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 .

The most major change is that I've done a KO4 conversion - consisting of 3000 mile second hand KO4 turbo, new S3 injectors, turbo silencer delete kit, 200bar fuel rail pressure sensor & a S3 3bar map sensor, full S3 pipe work kit, intake valve clean. Car went to Rtech for a custom stage 2+ and made 363bhp & 403lbft at 23psi with linear map without too must boost aggression

Fitted some new OZ ultraleggra’s in matte black with new Michelin pilot sport 3 tyres.
Standard brakes were not coping well with increase in power and torque, so decided to opt for a 345mm Vagbremtechnic DB9 4pot full brake kit with pagid RS4-2 blue brake pads. Braking power is unreal for a fast road car.

A big thank you to Aks tuning for the parts and Rtech for the map.

Did you talk to Niki about how the internals will cope at that? And the Helix? I think they're rated for around 400lb/ft?
Reason I ask is that I've just fitted the same clutch, and I'm going to follow a very similar path in tuning. But I want it aĺl to be reliable!
I've already got the full BCS ticked off, and I planned to go for a Loba pump and Revo intake as you have, so it's good to see the parts working in practice.
Great results
