Would you prefer to be able to launch a car with 280 ponies, with a more progressive throttle , or would you go for a 300bhp car that sits on the line spinning it's wheels... :innocent:

It's all about the area under the curve, and what  people's reasons are for switching to Rtech, and why is service is so highly spoken of.

Peak figures are not what it's about fella. :happy2:

R-tech stage 1 maps make 300bhp every day of the week. Highest one I've seen was 314bhp if I remember correctly.

Mine made 314bhp and 309lbft at R-Tech but that was with just an ITG intake. From memory the DSG box limits the torque though which apparantly varies from car to car.

An R-Tech DSG map will sort that out though, something i keep meaning to get booked in for  :jumping:
