But as carl says, a stage 1 car has 40hp and 70lbft+ extra and it would have been pulling out a huge lead on it.

Ultimately you got beaten by a skoda and should feel ashamed :P :P :P

But then you might come across someone like me who has a 270bhp Skoda  :P

You will always find someone with a car you think should be slower but infact is a lot quicker. I really wouldn't lose any sleep over it :happy2:

Contrary to popular belief, never had any issues with my Chimaera...only a tweaked Rover V8 at the end of the day, not rocket science...

...just out of interest what map are you running to get 270bhp from the Skoda? Superchips quoted 40bhp and 40lb/ft from the stage 1 map for the 2.0 TFSI engine...

Thanks

40Hp 40hp is exactly what i got out of my vRS with super chips stage 1.  With shark performance stage 1 it made 240Hp 270lbft.

Myself and quite a few others on briskoda found the bluefin really poor on the k03 TFSI especially from stage 2 onwards. hence why lots of us changed software

Check out BDMAlex's Vrs Estate, Avant if you want to be posh.

I would suggest when he finally gets the Hybrid KO4 fitted it will take more than a stage 1 DSG GTI to keep up!

I have a Golf so I am not biased in any way towards one or the other but Alex's is particularily lush to look at and I imagine drive.

It may indicate that yours isn't running as it should.  Changed your dv recently ?

I'd have thought he has some software on there or that your car isn't running as sweet as it could be.  I think it takes a very keen driver to be able to make changes as quickly as DSG, coupled with the slight weight advantage he probably shouldn't have been pulling away.

I agree.. The only way a vRS should pull on a DSG GTI (that's tucked up behind it) is if it is modded in some way (ie most probably mapped). A mapped vRS isn't going to "Drive off" from a DSG GTI, even if it is mapped. They are a good 100kgs heavier for a start...
My guess is that is would gradually pull away, which is pretty much what has happened..  :wink:

Oh and if it was a diesel, i'm with Nath..  :fighting: :signLOL:

Come on Sy, a Stage 1 car is quicker than standard yeah, but won't jump into another time zone once the right pedal is pushed..  :signLOL: Especially on a short blast down a slip road..
You need a Stage 2+ KO4 for that..  :laugh: :booty: :signLOL:

If it was mapped, it must have been something like bluefin.  anything else like REVO/shark etc are much stronger than it.  ( i know this is what led me to change software in the first place)

this is what i mean.


whereas REVO looks more like this


so you can see on the road there would be a huge difference between the two,whilst both would be quicker than stock
