Good Morning!

My DSG edition 30 is going stage 2+ on Friday and just wondering what sort of figures i'd be looking at.

Following mods are:
BCS powervalve turbo back
Revo induction kit
Loba HPFP
RS4 fuel return valve
S3 intercooler

Im guessing it'll be the S3 cooler that could hold the figures back?

Cheers,

Luke

Up to 370 BHP, I guess. The IC seems to be the limiting factor of your setup, yes.

Ok cheers.

Also getting DSG remap, will this make any difference?

Only in a cramped dyno cell will an intercooler show a weakness.  On the open road with tons more airflow and plenty of heatsoak recovery time, it'll be fine.

The measured power is only for that particular set of conditions - I.e. a little room with only a fan for airflow.   Out on the road, things are very different.  More airflow and lower ambient temps.

Don't blindly follow the herd and bolt things on for the sake of it.  Get confirmation the S3 cooler is restrictive from proper testing first.  Stage 2+ turbo speeds kind of super heat the intercoolers anyway.   You'd be better off running a bigger turbo to make the same power from more cfm and less pressure, and therefore less heat.

Good luck for Friday  :happy2:   I'd be happy with anything over 350hp on these old engines and turbos  :smiley:

Thanks for the reply.

So what your saying is what power it makes on the dyno could be less than what it could put out on the open road?

Thanks i'm hoping this alongside the DSG remap should transform the car !
