I have K&N panel filter & pre-cat removed - that's why mine made a little more  :grin:

Are yours mapped to 99RON unleaded also?

Graeme

yeah im on vpower

My car was a bit poorly.. only 214bhp before visiting Nick. He managed to get it to 234 but recommended running it to clear out and come back in a month so hopefully I'll see better figures then.

Very similar to mine - I got 248bhp & 311lb/ft. Feels quicker than it is - must be all the torque!

Glad your please matey  :happy2:

How's your clutch taking it?

Nice figures. How is your clutch taking it? Do you know what the standard clutch can take torque wise?

I'm going to have my pre cat removed and fit a p flo then go to r tec. Just want my clutch to last!

My clutch was slipping on the way home from R-Tech  :sad1:

And my spark plugs were causing it to misfire  :sad1:

The clutch has good & bad days, it will need replacing at some point but will have to make do until funds allow. Had the same problem with my old Focus ST straight after a remap.

It's not so bad if I keep the revs up and drive it through the gears. Using the torque in 4th -6th gear is a no-no  :grin: the revs just rise and the car tries to keep up. . .

Nick said the standard clutch (when new) will take 320lb/ft but the springs soften over time and it loses it's strength

Cool thanks for the info!

What mileage was yours remapped at?

I might ask Nick not to go to crazy with the torque to prevent slip.

My old mk3 ibiza Cupra was 240bhp/280ftlbs on standard clutch with no slip which was very quick (13.7 1/4 mile) so id be happy with the Golf having a similar amount of Go!

It was on around 48k miles. Clutch was fine as standard and no where near the end of its life. 311lbft is a bit much for it though

Very similar mileage to mine.

How do you rate the k&n panel filter? Any increase in noise?

I'm thinking of getting one and having the pre cat removed then a trip to r tec.
