It certainly was. I had a good drive again today and the map is a work of art. It drives so much better in traffic and then when you get out of town and the road opens up :laugh:. It just works SO well. I was worried that I'd struggle with wheel spin and understeer but not in the slightest.
It's a very polished well rounded package give I'm still on the standard suspension. I have to say that the brakes scary me at times with how much power they have. They're one mod that poeple should put high up there list!!! :happy2:

some gains on yours though, i was happy with 260hp/300lbft yours must be stupidly quick mate!
yours is coming together well now though mate, looking boss!

Thanks I'm really pleased with how the carbon parts are coming together. I'm booked in at a body shop as some t@@t has take a chunk out of my rear bumper in a car park. They are also going to be fitting some other carbon parts while it in with them. I'm hoping to have it done before VW action.
It feels nice and punchy for sure. I think at some point I'll go K04 though. I'm glad you're enjoying yours :happy2:

hope its still going well mate! what did Niki say about ko4 on it? how much works involved, any rough ideas on hp & torque?
Paradox1:
Usually around 380 is. I guess it depends on what mods you have and how good it flows. I did ask Rtech if they were mapping K04 TSI engine yet, and they told me it was still in development. things may have changed now though

Well I've been very busy with work and looking after the kids since the last time I posted. Oh and enjoying driving my car! When I first got my car back post remap. I was happy with the he gains but going on past mapping experiences, I was expecting a bit more dram. The more I've driven the car however the more I appreciate the power delivery and drivability. Considering I'm still on the standard suspension :ashamed: it all works togeather very well. If a little scruffy on the limits. I had a tussle with a V10 M5 last night on the way home. Thoses things are fast in a straight line. But he was slowing me down in the twisty bits. The big brakes helping for sure.
On the brake front. I'm loving them still and have got used to how violently they can slow you down. One issue I have been having though is the brake balance. Mainly due to the tiny little rear solid discs. So I've tracked down a set of 8P S3 rear brakes. I'll need new discs and pads but they should help sort things out.
I've also bought a K04 turbo and WMI kit to be fitted at some point in the New Year.
I'm also booked into AKS for H&R coilovers, front and rear ARB's front ALK and the Polfis at the end of the month. I'm then going to try and stop spend and enjoy the driving! As far as K04 figures I'd think around 380 HBO and 400 lbft of torque. I have a set of S3 injections but Niki doesn't think I'll need them.
