Make sure they are pre gapped to 0.8mm as recommended and you'll be fine   :happy2:

Just checked they'll be perfect.

Have you done a throttle body reset lately?. Cleaned it out?. Checked your pcv if not already done do? .
To be honest, no, I haven't done a throttle body reset. I have however replaced the pcv. One thing I did notice is that once the rfd was done, it's seems to be worse now than what it was also

 :stupid:  :doh:  :signLOL:

^^^

 :drinking:

I've read on a few forums and here that it's a waste of money unless you go stage 3 or BT for some reason and I've also read that it's beneficial too adding a little extra horses and saves you the trouble of having runner flap issue but it needs mapping out?.
Someone tell me otherwise please?.
Another on the to do list  :doh:

I done it as I wanted the inlets cleaned and to be honest, the fact that they are prone from time to time to fail, and with mine showing faults, it was only a matter of time for me to either fix the fault or remove the issue completely. I am stage 2+ ko3, so wasn't expecting any real gains, but I have some nice noises from the exhaust on over run now!

That's good to know someone who's done the delete but again does the mil code require mapping out.
sugar you're a stage 2 + I'd love to get there at some point as I'm bored of 200bph as my tt was 265 and to me a lot quicker than an R32 raced down the A13 from lakeside with my car full  :signLOL:

I am running apr software, so when I bought the apr rfd kit, they map out the running flaps for you.

To be honest, I am not really happy with the performance of my car anyway, considering the costs and hardware I have fitted, hence why I have reverted to fault finding, ie the other topic we have spoken on regarding the actuator on the turbo.

But that is irrelevant in this topic, so I will keep that for another topic!

Was never keen on apr for some unknown reason  :signLOL:

So thats a yes to the mil needing mapping out or it will illuminate. Argh!!!

Hmm let's get back to the other topic lol

Which one???????

But in relation to apr, I am not faulting their map, I'm annoyed at my car! I have had both apr and revo stage 2+ files, and both peak bhp and torque were lower than expected and lower than most.

You may not get an eml to begin with, but you will get a rough idle after start up for approx 10/15 seconds

That's kindly poops then isn't it?.

Why lower?, that because it's a custom map or just the way you cars set up?. do you have an uprated hpfp?.

I am running a turbo back bcs powervalve with 200cel cat, revo intake, autotec hpfp internals, at the time a rev g dv valve, airtec intercooler, iridium plugs and r8 coils (although no performance benefit on these). Plus I am dsg, so shouldn't be any clutch issues. Both maps never even managed 300ftlbs. Although, the apr agent was the one who gave me the heads up on the turbo actuator being at fault. It ran 272.9 bhp 288ftlbs on revo and 267bhp 298ftlbs on apr. I have since had the inlet cleaned, a rfd done gb dv+ and will be changing out the airtec cooler for a mk6 r one, as that may also be affecting the torque due to the volume

Wow that's sh*te for all you have replaced mod wise no offence intended  :confused: thought a stage two would hit you around 300 mark with similar torque?.
Something doesn't add up as I'm reading people with stage 2 300+ or am I missing something here.

2 different variants I think are confusing you.

Gti(ko3) rough idea of figures

Stage 1 240-255 bhp 290-310+ftlbs
Stage 2 255-270 bhp 310-330+ftlbs
Stage 2+ 270+bhp 320+ftlbs

Gti ed30 (ko4)

Stage 1 290-310 bhp
Stage 2 310-330 bhp
Stage 2+ 330+ bhp

All these are just rough numbers

I only have a gti (ko3)
