A couple of my mater are running around in focus st's and rs's and there exhausts pop a wee bit and I think it can sound quite good sometimes, just wordering if there is anyway to make the golf pop the same?
-
Mine pops when I gently Rev it at cold idle.
A decent de-cat exhaust may get a few pops, but these TFSIs don't seem to want to do it like the STs, Mini Cooper S etc
-
ahh iv just got a 3" turbo back with sports cat :( o well was worth asking ha
-
3" bcs downpipe with sports cat pops now and again. And on the dsg up shift on full chat rumbles a lovely fart notice :signLOL:

Decat helps too
-

Just a quick one lads all the ford guys are running a rev limiter called omex causing big bangs and flames especially on the focus st's

anybody fitted on to a tfsi?

Nope but I know emp performance north of London do a golf launch control causing flames

R-Tech do a hard cut launch limiter :happy2:

Sweet,
I had the soft cut on my 1.8T.
Niki told me that he wouldnt load the hard cut on my 1.8T as I didnt have rods. is this the same case for the TFSI engines?

Ah yes how silly of me haha my car is currently mapped by rtech and cannot fault their work in any way I forgot that they do the launch on the golfs as of my leon has complete different coding in the ecu and isn't avaliable yet
