hiya. i am aware of the 1 to 50 system, i also asked about this to which adrian flux replied; "the golf is listed as a group 21 in the 1 to 21 group system." its a joke tbh, especially when its only a group 8 aswell. what makes me laugh is i have just bought a policy for £690, comprehensive cover, windscreen cover, legal cover, protected no claims and £0 excess. so if a company can do that for me for 690 quid WTF is adrian flux wanting £2000 for the same thing!!!!!!

they look they dogs *******s mate nice one. they suit the car well and you have been different. Good work

ill do you one better; try getting a £2000 quote from adrian flux on my golf when last year it was £640, funny int it? id also love an explanation as to why my golf is a group 21 an all. thats a laugh isnt it!

You cant stop lag im afraid, well you can but its silly money to do

LOL;

is it lag or a flat spot once the turbo has spooled up?

Yawn......................

i know mate its ridiculous! my insurance renewal has come through £200 higher than last year/. im not a happy bunny at all. 6 years no claims bonus, never had a crash or a claim or anything so why should my insurance go up £200??? well i asked adrian flux who quoted me £2000!!!!! when last year was £670, to which i got a reply about the bad weather and loads of crashes at the beginning of this year. Now fair point possibly but i drove as normal all the way through the bad weather, i didnt crash. so why should i have to pay for it? joke if you ask me

Looks well that matey, approx how low have you gone and is there any wheels scrubage at all?

hmm..... I havent been on briskoda very long but it seems to be a very noobish forum which is a shame really. not to worry. VRS Dovy; please learn the difference between forced induction, ram air induction and the epic fail of all Naturally Aspirated tuning, open to atmosphere / open cone filters . Juego; performance in HP is always given at flywheel from an engine dyno. a clio 197 does not have 197hp at the wheels. for all any of us know he could of had one with a severe transmission loss thus causing the low power run. im not going to post on this topic any longer as it baffles me the level of inferior mechanical knowledge in question. i was only trying to help this person make an educated decision and unfortunately its turned sour. not to worry, lesson learned.

You have a FMIC, thats different. with a FMIC over 100% volumetric efficiency is achievable (due to air being under pressure obviously) and yes, agreed there on the mapping. what dyno does angel use then? what did it make on a before and after power run? how long did it take to map? thanks

hi juego, how does your mate know his MAF sensor isnt knackered? it doesnt show up on diagnostics or VAGCOM im afraid. and as previously mentioned, dyno experience and rolling road days matey. i have seen a few cars with the maps mentioned above make well below the quoted power figures. i mean 10 to 20hp less. im passing on what i know and what i have learnt over the years helping forum members who want help. im not after an argument chaps.

Open cone filter without FMIC = bad. im really not a fan of open cone filters at all as i have seen nothing but bother with them and cars suffering lag in performance from the heat soak as well as returning silly low MPG. enclosed filters are the way forward, every F1 car since the 60s has had an enclosed filter, what does that tell you? try to use either; a; de restricted OEM intake with a less "oily" panel filter or b; an enclosed induction kit like a BMC CDA for example. MAF sensors are very very fragile. they are constructed of a fine "mesh" that tells your ECU what temperature and how dense the air particles are passing through it. it then alter your fuelling and to a degree your ignition advance / retard to suit. this is performance hindering, and can be caused by open cone filters / much / oil etc etc ( even oil off the panel filter its self )

there maps are known for making well under the stated figures when dyno proven. second, the oil from K an N oil filters alone ruins MAF sensors. an open cone filter on a diesel will go through MAF sensors for fun. the performance losses are very gradual and generally unnoticed for a long time until the PD engine develops flat spots. thirdly, i have been tuning and modifying cars for a number of years now. as well as building several cars including a 160hp saxo VTS aswell as being involved in the creation and running of the first ever TU5 J4 engine running throttle bodies on the OEM management i have fast amounts of mechanical knowledge. i am pretty much around race spec engines and cars every week and a chief fabricator at a well known air suspension company, i can tell you all sorts of random stuff, even how a spoiler works using bernoulis therum. when i give someone advice its because its tried an tested and im trying to help, please don not question it i have spent far too many hours of my life at rolling roads for my own cars aswell as others so i know a fair bit about mapping cars too. if you have any sensible questions feel free to PM me and ill help the best i can. Thanks

angel tuning are ****e, stay away from that sort of mapping company, 2nd do not put an open cone filter on your car as you will be going through MAF sensors every 2 weeks, your MPG will drop and you will have very poor volumetric efficiency. go for a panel filter, like jetex or piper cross and the PD160 intake. happy days
