M135i 1 month on...

[gobbleplease]

To be fair with that much torque it will feel monstrously fast !
Although I thought a few RRs were stating that some of these were putting out 330 ish standard, I think that's why maybe the headline figure of 362 didn't seem like much of a gain. Well that was my thinking anyway.

its 1bhp more than my stg2+ eddie on the same rollers, with a lot more torque and RWD... its going to be sillly quick.

tbh i dont think i will add any hardware to next car i get.. stg 1 will be enough as will still be quicker than stg2+ eddie

I was expecting bigger gains from that engine.

What, a stage 1 tune on a complete stock engine with gains of 64bhp and 114ftlb isn't good enough?

Well that's area under the curve. Tbh for myself gains under 4500rpm are irrelevant, as I use my gears.

I just expected more from a medium sized engine peak to peak, as for example the 2.5tfsi kicks out over 400hp from a remap, so 70 odd Hp gain peak to peak same story for the ed30

1 less than mine but with a dollap of extra torque & I bet it sounds a bit better than mine aswell !
I'm in the same boat as you my next car will need to be fast from the box, Map and back box and that's it !

You won't regret it.

Just been for a drive in mine, stock mode (I can switch maps via steering wheel) for a quick blast from Sunderland to Durham and back (25ish miles) and mainly country roads was massive fun and managed 32mpg.

I don't think I've wanted a car so much (apart from the new Cayman S) before. Was just waiting for our house purchase to get out the way before committing. Really looking forward to it.

@Deako - I remember seeing your Polo GTI at Ultimate Dubs last year, and I'm sure your signature box has had at least 3 different cars in it since then 

You sure get through some cars

I'm still trying them all out to find the right one.
