I've also noticed that the DSG box changes down less when you accelerate, which is quite deceptive in terms of how the car gains speed.

Just remember Rich. Power is nothing without control.  :wink:

So true....  I honestly don't know how anyone running stage 2 or 2+ manages to keep it in check (on stock chassis and brakes). Personally, stage one feels like it's on the edge of what the chassis can take.

Or am I just being a big girls blouse? :signLOL:

big girls blouse I say  :signLOL:

Livin life to the Max on my stock brakes :driver:  :P

I don't want to piss on your parade, Rich, but the OEM speedo is not accurate or reliable. You need the sort of equipment which Hurdy had in his Ed30 for accurate performance data.

Either way, your car is now very much faster and more fun.  :happy2: :pomppomp: :jumpmove:

Milltek? Brakes? Suspension?  :evilgrin:

Just realised that the video was taken in sport mode which is why it changes to 2nd before the rev limiter  :indifferent:

Bloody hell!!!

Engine management light has come on. System rich on idle, occurrence 1.

Luckily I was 2 minutes from VAGCO, simon who was very helpful cleared the code. Need to keep and eye on that, he thinks it's cos I was on crappy 95.

Full tank of vpower now.

Fingers crossed.
