All Things Mk5 > R-Tech Zone
Stage 2+ K03 best mods/ expected figures
MS1:
I'm afraid I can't help you with regards to the IC. I mean plugs, packs, DV, blocked cat, dirty CAI, knackered turbo vanes, rubbish or old engine oil, dirty fuel filter. It all contributes I guess.
MS1:
For sure it seems too big an IC will cause big losses in torque, especially low down and also to a lesser extent bhp. I don't know how much of a bigger volume the Airtec is, I know the Twintercooler system is pretty much the biggest cc of all the setups, ao I can certainly attribute a lot of my losses to that, or so I've been told. Like I said, if I don't see any noticeable gains from S3 IC and a new turbo, then I'll be at a dead loss as to why my ko3 is 10-15bhp & 50lbft under par for its stage.
MS1:
I've looked after my car so well, well everything that was under my control. Oil changes every 3k, only the best oil, new filters, new plugs, general health checks, new fuel filters every 15k, engine flush every 6k, inlet valves and injectors cleaned every 25k as well as IMV cleaner every 15k, cam follower every 10k, gearbox oil every 35k, six monthly checks for moisture content in brake/clutch fluid and replaced if necessary. I've literally done everything and more one could do. To hear Niki say he didn't think it was a healthy car and to give me a 'to do' list literally broke my heart. He didn't want to say it, poor sod, I had to say to him, 'spit it out, it's fine'.

Well, all last year prior to testing and mapping, new rev g dv, genuine r8 coil packs, ngk iridium plugs, new revo intake, new powervalve tbe with 200 cel cat, fresh oil change after just been changed a month and half prior also, new fuel filter, new airtec cooler, new dsg mechatronics unit, new cam follower along with new autotec hpfp internals!
I think I'm going to change the intercooler and add a turn or two pre-load on the turbo actuator, as the apr agent reckons that could be the reason

I am the same with mine, hence why I am a little frustrated with the outcome. Makes it harder trying to tell the wife the car needs other bits to release the real potential of it, she doesn't understand what I am going to gain from it!
