Stage 2+ Edition 30 not making figures.....
« on: May 20, 2014, 08:20:34 pm »
My friend has a 56plate Edition 30 with 80k and has:
- APR fuel pump
- 3" decat down pipe
- Pipercross Panel filter

It only made 305bhp with a stage 2+ map and is being told that the low power output is down to coking of the valves and no catback. Im shocked at this. I really thought that it would have made more power than that.

My Edition 30 (only 30k) made 351bhp at stage 2+ and I had a full system, panel filter and fuel pump.

Any thoughts or opinions on what it could be, or whether his advice is correct?

I appreciate any help.

Cheers.

I thought the same, also should probably have a full induction kit, not just a filter.

The usual culprit is a boost leak somewhere so check dv and all hoses and connectors.
Without traction power is nothing!

Yeap, that's when they started.

Catback will add nothing but a bit of noise. Check the DV and pipes as mentioned.

Down pipe, HPFP & intake are the minimum prerequisites as far as I can remember.

It wont be the lack of induction kit, my car flowed 350bhp with pipercross panel filter. Would the mapper of not picked up on the boost loss/leak? I will get him to check any ways, try to eliminate the problem.

didn't think you can go stage 2+ without the full exhaust system  :confused:

As Mike said above the down pipe & sports cat or Decat is all that's required. The cat back section gives you about 2bhp

If there is no boost leak, have you considered that the Dyno might be out or needs re-calibrating. You could always hop on another Dyno and see if the results are the same.

What tuner did you go with? are they a VAG specialist?
