Picture of the custom exhaust darkside made for me earlier this week, very happy with it!

Whilst it were in for the exhaust i let them have a look at the map as the smoke has always been a little excessive for the power it made. With some fuel taken out of the map and less smoke the car made more power which is a bonus.

Is there any more to be had past 4k with some further mods? I remember some dervs making nearly 300bhp on the old mk4 forum, can't remember if that was with a 2260 or bigger.

Must be lovely to drive though!

With a race cam, ported cylinder head and tweaks to the map it would do 300bhp

It drives nice and been very reliable over the last few years

As said with further supporting mods, stock car is around 260-270 depending on smoke levels and how safe you want to run it.

Nice curves Ash.

I've no idea how you guys get traction with torque like this. It's tough enough in a TFSI!

xjay1337 · February 06, 2017, 09:38:24 PM

We manage :)

Careful application of the right foot, good tyres and decent chassis helps for me.

AJP · February 07, 2017, 10:13:01 PM

It's the careful right foot bit I need to practice... I can always throw money at handling mods but I get the feeling mine will always be a better car than I am a driver [emoji16]
