i say fair play to you for saying what you did. beats denying it or making sh!t up. its about as i would have expected to be honest.
dont forget he would have potentially had more grip with the LSD, as well, and the power delivery is totally different. peak power being hit at just over 5k, as a pose to the ed30 which is more like 6500rpm. so initiallyty id expect him to get the run on you.
from what ive found they make good power once modded.
this is the ecutek 'stage 1' map 6 MPS
this is a 3mps but same engine. exhaust/intake/intercooler and ecutek custom map. Similar Hp/torque to a stage 2+ K04 TFSI, so i cant wait to see what this manages with an uprated HPFP and map tweak
im starting to make a bit of headway with potential tuning options now. make sit a bit mo interesting than everything being available. the joy is in the search lol.
