It's as Kev at Revo says: Each one of us needs to draw our own line in the sand and not step over it.

The problem is that a line in the sand is easy to rub out and place further down the line. My initial intention was for a Revo Stage 1 remap and a Forge DV to be sensible and safe... now I'm on Revo Stage 2+ and yesterday found myself looking at G2871R turbos :surprised: :surprised: and Revo Stage 3... I'm not going to go there though as I don't want to start messing with the internal engine parts - its Karl's fault as he spoke to me about the S3 that had the conversion done at Santa Pod and was getting sub-12s 1/4 mile times :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin:

He got a 12.7 in the end mate.. I think that a sub 12 second run is possible with that car though, its mental fast! Though I was going to be the first in the UK to go big turbo DSG lol..

Was there a car at the Pod that posted a sub-12s time? I thought there was, but maybe I was thinking too much about sub-12s times and dreaming :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:

Nothing that I saw apart from a turbo Civic type R on drag slicks!

Well if thats the case, then your 12.98s time is amazing then as his S3 has the advantages of 4wd and a monster turbo :surprised: I'm beginning to think that the Edition 30 is a really special car...

....I don't know the details but I expect that the dealer's aftermarket remaps are probably 'only' Stage1 and so are still well within the factory tolerances, whereas a lot of the guys here are pushing the envelope further and can expect to have issues, especially without some important mechanical mods.

I think the GTi's here suffering with clutch issues are also only stage 1. My stage 1 ED30 should be around the 290 - 300 bhp and similar torque figures. Just getting concerned.

i managed to get the clutch done under warranty (Audi s3) as it is a fault that vag are aware of. The car is running an evoms and giac software with no problems.
Maybe try your luck and see if you can get it for free unless your wanting to go silly power? I would have thort that being fwd the ed30 will be slightyly easier on the clutch anyway so you should see at least 20k if your running around 300bhp.

Bluefin stage 1 for 1 month, not overly impressed with it either for the fact that it has ruined 2nd gear accleration ... and now after 1500 miles, 3k 6th gear and clutch starting to slip ... ffs ... wish I'd never bothered with remap now ... between ECU lights flashing, misfires, 2nd gear spoilt and now clutch slipping ... :confused: I dunno ... unimpressed is putting it mildly ... another phonecall to superchips AGAIN !
May just leave it and try getting it changed under warranty in the future - surely the dealer will smell a rat with a clutch slipping with 14000k on the clock :surprised: :confused: :sad:
