My first ED30 tornado red

[howie1987]

On my way back from r-tech half way home 3 hour to go. (mate is driving)

So got the dsg sorted out and mapped.

Map on the car got tweaked also. going from s3 ic to the peron ic.

No massive gains but i knew not to expect much, and the main thing was to get the dsg, with the new mechatronics mapped.

It does feel alot more responsive and i'm happy/very tired lol.

Nice result! Did Niki manage to pull more power as a result of upping the clamping pressure on the dsg file?

Awesome looking Eddie!

I honestly don't have a clue.

One thing he mentioned was the peron intercooler being painted black. if it wasn't painted black it would be better. and the 200cell sportscat was restricting it aswell. but for mot purposes and it keeps the noise down a bit its not worth the hassle of removing it.

cheers mate. yes xenons do make them look good. pricey though if they don't come with them.

Yeah they are a lot of money! I've had depo's on my last mk5 but they just didn't really do it for me

The black paint in the IC works as a coat so the heat transference between air and aluminium has an additional barrier.

I'd still love that mine was making the same sort of output. That should be enough for a spirited drive.

Am not quite sure what he was meaning with the black paint. am scottish so the accents were a bit of a barrier haha.

Yeah thats plenty for me anyway. i wasn't really chasing numbers anyway just glad the dsg is finally sorted.

Started getting loads of viberation through the steering when braking the lastweek and got worse yesterday. would you think thats the brake discs? orderd some anyway. i'll need to check it out but was just glad to get home after a 14hour round trip thanks to manchester rush hour.

Think i might have a sticky caliper aswell.

Yeah, most likely a warped disc. If you have R32/S3/TTS calipers try the Brembo Sport 340 mm discs.

Here's a youtube explaining the problem with black painted IC:

Yeah their s3 brakes. i have already orderd some ebc grooved 345mm. i just read the 340mm are better in another thread aswell, knew i should of waited will try and cancel.

Well if i ever start chasing numbers i will need to paint strip the ic .

Would of thought they would of researched before actually painting or have known this.

The ~2 kg difference in the weight of each disc is noticeable, not much but it's noticeable. The brake power is the same, I think. I replaced my 345 mm ATE discs with the Brembo Sport 340 mm in my GT Sport, it's my personal experience.

If you have a sticky piston the repair kit for the calipers isn't that expensive, just new pistons would be more dear.

Yeah loosing every bit of weight counts. i've emailed them to cancel. they are also a cheaper than the one's i bought which is a bonus. i think i'll try the 340mm brembos out.

Yeah i will get my caliper checked but it always squeeks at low speed when am not braking. the refurb kit won't do it any harm either way. cheers mate you have gave me loads of advice helped me out loads tbh.

Just sharing the knowledge acquired over the time.
