Saw your car on my FB newsfeed yesterday, hogging the new rollers  :P

You're doing well though

Probably put more miles on it in the last week in 'development', than in the previous year on the road??

Great result. The TDI's are as tuneable as the TFSI's. looking on Darkside's website, you can get 350+ bhp out if these - and still get 50+ mpg. .

Have cake and eat it  :notworthy:

Wow great figures :) What you expecting out of replacing the intercooler with the S3, will that give cooler intake only?

You would struggle to get 50mpg unless you drive like a old women.... more likely to be 40.

Cruising off boost would do it. 40mpg using the power a little
