Carrying on...

Pic of the head unit surround trim fitted:



Today...

Went down to JKM in the morning for a power run (thanks to R-Tech who arranged it :happy2:).

So here are the results, car is running on Revo Stage 1, DSG Stage 1, pretty standard apart from that. I bought a K&N panel filter (Green Cotton was out of stock  :sad1:) whilst at JKM, asked Keith to fit it after it had been on the dyno  :chicken: (not that it would've made a difference anyway).





I'm pleased with the results, it's what I expected, curve looks quite smooth I think.

I run my car on Momentum99 at the moment but Keith said I should try to run it on V-Power as he thinks it will like it more and the torque should improve a little bit.

A good read there  :happy2:

Are the RR results at the wheels or fly wheel?

I think they are results estimated at the flywheel.  :happy2:

Nice results Mandy, its now official, your car is .08bhp more then my 276.5bhp on jkm's rollers i got with my bluefin at stage 1 before my Exhaust was fitted!.

Looking at your graph and mine, they even seem to have identical Torque curves  :confused:. Bluefin seems to be near on identical to your Revo?



Here is a graph showing what difference it made with Full miltek............
at stage 1, yet to run mine at stage 2 at jkm. Looking foward to Oct 16th :party:


So Roll on exhaust and stage 2  :rolleye:

 :happy2:

Steve, that run was when my car had unidentified issues.  :P

It went back to JKM for diagnostics and here are the before and afters:

When it first went in...


And after the spark plugs were changed:


Comparison between the two:


So, only a little bit more than your Stage 1 Bluefin...

BUT...

Still to come...





And...

Mandy, seize the opportunity to paint those hubs before you install those discs. I forgot to do mine! Caliper paint by Savage is good stuff to use. Otherwise the silver hubs become a bit brown but not in a nice way.  :smiley:

Thanks for the advice Robin, but they are being fitted tomorrow morning so I won't have time.

I'm sure I can live with it.  :happy2:

....Ah yes, it's your boyfriend, not you, who is anal about cleaning  :evilgrin:

I'm managing to live with hubs which aren't immaculate too.. so far. Although I have bought the paint in readiness.

You need some more torque Mandy :P

exhaust on and you should see 300 lb ft of torque and an extra 10bhp :happy2:

No reason for not going stage 2 once your pipes are on :happy2:

....I thought it was the other way around: The bolt-on tips being the old ones.

....But was it new and direct from Milltek? Might have been old stock (not a problem). I think that bolt-ons can be ordered - I'd need to check.
