Was easy.

Click search, Type - Power from Stage 1, Click search

Was second result that came up  :innocent:

Have a look at the VCDS register there are a couple of members near by. I think Darren (MortyGTTDi) is nearby. :happy2:

Hi Russ,

Usually the addition of an intake wont need any extra changes to the map, however theory is one thing, reality is another. Some logging should show up the cause of the flatspot but my guess is that you have hit the limit of the fuel pump and you are experiencing a slight lack of fuel which will cause the ECU to hold back the ignition advance and boost.

After sales support is free so call us for a chat if you wish, we can do some datalogging (free) and find the cause but there may be someone closer that has a vagcom lead and you can send me the logs to take a look at.

perhaps he's hitting the dreaded fuel cut...now with extra air/great dose of boost to achieve those mega numbers...the fuel pump can't keep up!!!!!

Fair point, and would definitely be valid for stage 2, but on a stage 1!  Ive not heard of fuel cut on a stage 1 map before.  Surely not a good trait.  @ PDT What rail pressure do you request on your stage 1, is it the full 130bar?  Ive had 2 different brands of stage 1, Shark, and Bluefin, and seen the logs for stage 1 APR and Jabba tuned cars.  They request around 110-120bar max giving plenty off leeway in the standard pump and injectors

i know the figures are high i was doubtfull at first but my mate has a megane sport 225 stage 2 @ 274bhp and 335ftlb and theres absolutely nothing in them neck and neck. search for a topic by pdt calles 'how much power from stage 1 k03 more than you may think'. this thread has graphs of the first car which actually got a couple more bhp than me i think. my car was the second to be done with this map

What i see in that thread is good publicity.  Im just abit perplexed at how all of sudden you can gain 20+hp over the leading tuners such as REVO, APR, GIAC etc.  I mean thats a huge improvement on what are already classed as the top end maps that out perform pretty much all the other maps.

Personally i dont buy it, until i see the results replicated on an independent DD rolling road, i will of course retract all the above if im proven wrong though.  However i suspect a sudden loss of Hp.  Thats not a bad thing though, that would just pull it back in line with the expected gains

Could be PDT's inability with VCDS and he has ticked a magic box somewhere by accident Or maybe his straps are made of Bungee cord  :grin:

The only way your going to get a decent comparison, would be to have another KO 3 on the rollers straight after you.  I got 259 at RS tuning at stage 2 then went on PDT's at 2+ and got 249. if my calculation's are correct you should get 480BHP at RS.  :laugh:

I reckon PDT should organise a RR day if we all get an extra 20bhp :grin: :grin:
