OMFG!!!!! :driver: :driver: :evilgrin:

so it was a waste of money....

We expect a full write up including pics, dyno graphs, performance box data in the next hour :innocent:

The new controller arrived this afternoon and so Steve fitted it and put some distilled water in to test it. Worked perfectly and even giving it the beans for quite a while the oil temps stayed under 100oC, which is much better than the 110oC+ I was seeing on spirited runs. The car ran much smoother and felt better at the middle/top of the rev range. Then came the water/meth mix!.....
Holy sh*t!!! it was like sticking another small engine to help mine under the bonnet :driver: With the roads dry in parts today, I was able to give it the full throttle and even at 70mph+ was still getting wheel spin. The middle and top end of the rev range is MUCH stronger than before and Steve says that after a few days it will feel even better.
To say I'm impressed is an understatement, even though we'd been out in the car for a 15 min blast, when I topped up the bottle it had only used 120ml of mixture, so I know the bottle will last a fair while as it is about 3 litres to the brim.
Logs should get done tomorrow and then the dyno may have to wait as Statllers have had a refurb abd the electrics aren't plumbed back into the dyno yet :sad1:
Steve's promised it will be plumbed back in before the end of the week.

Bum dyno says muchos extra bhp and torque  :evilgrin:

Steve calls it a "Black Ops" install as under the bonnet and in the boot you literally wouldn't spot the difference. In the cabin you definitely see the controller though :evilgrin: When that light comes on green it's like KITT in Pursuit Mode :rolleye: :driver:

That's setting C.  How is it just on setting B with WMI.  No issues with the dsg torque limit then

Good news for me  :star: :star:  Mines getting the custom map done on wednesday, so ill only have the WMI as an bolt on mod, so hopefully the dyno will show some good gains.  Wander what the difference will be if you already have the IC.  Obviously heatsoak isnt as much of an issue with mine

On Steve's ED30 he saw around 25whp and over 40lbft of torque without changing the settings. His car has the THS cooler, so good gains to be had. Even if you scale this down to a 1.4 from a 2.0ltr we should hopefully see 15-17whp and 25-28lbft increase. :party:

Also forgot to mention that the controller allows you to set the minimum boost level where the water/meth comes in and another to set where the water/meth is fully on. My car has only had a proprietary setting and i'm sure some fine tuning on the dyno will optimise the benefits. The nozzle on mine is good for up to a 450bhp car, so should never really be at full capacity for my baby motor :pomppomp:

Still cannot believe the improvement it has made to how the car runs.....it's just .....better, smoother, more eager to rev. Like a well set-up ED30 on a crisp cool morning, but all the time! :smiley:

The way I see it, the dyno might not be connected, but the performance box still works so get out testing lol
