Wigit will be interested.

Not sure that massive torque surge will do the standard clutch any good tho. 

i'll reserve comment and make my own mind up on the figures when the file goes on mine and i see how it drives, no rush to dyno but know a few i now trust, however, may need to do some performance comparisons (in gear) with the Pirelli, its a bit full on willy waving for my tastes i'm afraid

i see the number of rocs with clutch upgrades increasing soon lol

could really do with an independant dyno really. there is potential for an agenda here, to help massage out those figures. 

looking back at that TSI, maybe APR held back the torque for a reason.  330Ibft isnt tobe sniffed at but 390Ibft is bloody nuts in a FWD lol

I would be surprised if that car makes 390lb/ft.

Not saying anyone has done anything wrong operating the dyno. I just find it hard to believe the car has 300+ lb/ft from 2000-5000rpm. It even has over 250lb/ft for most of the useable rev range. That would annihilate most things on the road.


Hold on just had a thought…….. has anyone bought Hurdy's NOS kit :evilgrin:

how is that little 2.0T making 390lbft of torque with that ihi turbo? Even the k04 with full bolt ons will struggle to get that amount of torque and its not a million miles off a stage 1 TTRS either!

Do revo claim thats the standard expected torque figure for that car?

I wouldnt read much into the peak figure as the turbo spools tbh, I have seen a few instances where the rolling road setup (lower load, quick runup) shows a high peak but in reality its not.
I would suspect the OE clutch to slip straight away at 400lftlbs tbh if it were real

comparing 2 softwares on same dyno/day is valid for a relative difference though  :happy2:

First run with the stage 2+ APR map give 253 bhp and 305lbft. Not as much as I thought. Just waiting for the Revo map to be uploaded.

Not quite lol
Final result is 271bhp and 332lbft which I think is not bad for an engine with 100k on it. Will post the graph later this evening :happy2:

What summed it up for me was when I was walking out the workshop and Jim said to me "I can't believe we have being lied to all this time"

I'm not too suprised about the torque figures out of the new 2.0TFSI engine, the Audi versions with 211ps put out 258 lbft off the production line from 1600-4200 revs not sure if there are any actual physical differences between the two but there is clearly alot more torque to be liberated from them, to put it into perspective thats as much as the 2.0TDI 170PS.   :party:
