Never been on R-Techs.

James' pulled 378 bhp on JKMs and 401 bhp on R-Techs.

For a K04 car to achieve 378 bhp on JKM's rolling road is quite astonishing (imo)

It was de-tuned to 378bhp on R-Techs rollers (LPFP couldn't cope properly). Made exactly the same on JKM's rollers as R-Techs.

Not sure if James has done the LPFP yet, that would allow him to run the full 400bhp. :evilgrin:

Didn't Steve P run his big turbo at JKM and make less power than James?  :grin:

Id like to se if upping the rail pressure to 150bar like the APR stage 3 setup will make a difference

As Nick said, there's lots more playing around to be done with the TFSI's to see what they can really do.

I'm seriously tempted to build something like James car  :innocent: a lot of fun for not a lot of money

I see the incentive for this sort of thing, but when your able to spin the wheels in the 1st 4 gears in the dry, its to much IMO.

i am sure I was running around 135bar.  I would be shocked if they was running 150bar as the rs4 valve could not cope with that.

Looking forward to go AWD.  Full boost launch would be epic!


I was just in the process of changing the LPFP before I left.
