the dyno lottery is true, however mosr dyno dynamics dynos are within a few % of eachother in most cases.

An engine that is flowing a lot of air doesnt mean its making a lot of power :happy2:

Well this certainly has opened a can of worms! I think the best thing i can do is get it to a set of rollers and see what its pushing!

been out in it again tonight and its abit warmer and just feels slugish again! Soo my next port of call is a decent CAI and DP then see what its doing? Maybe revo is on the cards after all.... Dom you are wearing on me!!

Sorry Mitch, I will be quiet - though I do think that your car is running just fine - with the map you have but is the map you have optimised as good as it could be. E.g. only requesting 115bar on the fuelling side of things. REckon you should get that downpipe - PM VRStu about the combination he had...

It's all relative though Sy. He has a bigger turbo so although an S3 cooler is a good upgrade for a K03 car it starts to suffer on K04 cars earlier.

Or another way to look at it is

Stage 2+ K03 = 280ish Bhp

Stage 1 K04 = 280ish bhp

I think a lot of the reason behind this is that it's being compared to Revo who's files are quite aggressive to give you the feeling you got a lot for your money. Whereas the Bluefin map "maybe" more progressive hence not the same feeling of power (even though it may be quicker) I had this when i went Stage 2+ as i felt it wasn't any quicker. It was only when i did some timed runs i that in fact the car was quicker.

Im not saying that is the case but if the Data Logging is not showing anything a miss then might be an idea to get it on a Dyno to look at the curve and take it from there.

How does that work with the milly DP will it fit to the standard system with no problems? Will i loose anything by no going full system?

You won't lose anything by not going full system.

All the Cat back part does is make the noise different and improve appearance.

For true stealth just fit the DP. You will prob see about another 10-15bhp & 15-20lb/ft with the DP. Will also help smooth things out due to easier flow.

You will need a reducer for the DP/cat to fit.
