Just looking at all the other Stage 1 graphs, even though I'm only producing 202bhp, I'm producing by far the most torque (354Nm/261lbft for a Stage 1 map/standard engine).

Do I get a medal?

Might have something to do with the fact that my intake and exhaust are fully standard. I'm even running a standard air filter.

Maybe someone could make this thread a sticky, or atleast pull out all the graphs and put them into a sticky?

Mine's running 262lb ft of torque and the 225hp is definitely wheel hp. Assuming transmission loss of say 10% that makes 245 flywheel hp. possible :-)

No you get a slip on the rollers or if indeed the case an empty wallet quickest for a new clutch

Do you have a boost gauge or VAG-Com or the Torque app for your phone to check what boost it is actually making? peaking at 18-19psi is ok for a stage 1 map and to be honest it will feel very fast if you've only driven a standard VRS before. If it's making 23psi or more then thats running the K03S the turbo at its limits and I'd consider getting a different map... the best maps use fuelling and timing rather than cranking up the boost to get a good peak power figure and a flat torque curve.

Thanks mate (and to Babs, I agree with that and will change maps in the future).

Yes, we've had it on VAG-COM .... it is peaking at 19psi, so I'm really pleased to hear that that doesn't sound too excessive. I didn't have a clue what was reasonable and what was excessive to be honest, although I was assured that the remapped boost was 'within limits'. It's holding 16psi so sounds ok. I have probably doubted the map unnecessarily, but nevertheless, I would still recommend a reputed VAG tuner like R-tech, APR, Jabba etc, rather than a 'generic' like Elite Remaps.

Seems a little high for a K03 to me...

Ko3s

The dyno is newly installed as they moved premises - so you would hope it has been calibrated recently

Last time we reverted the car to the standard map using the STS and did a couple of runs and it made 165bhp at the wheels. Carbonio intake and TIP were the only engine mods at the time so let's assume that is more or less standard power and that the flywheel hp is 180. That makes 9% transmission loss.

Now on the exact same dyno it's consistently running 225bhp at the wheels. Adding 9% = 245bhp at the flywheel.

Just need to sort out that boost fluctuation

Yes Jase, K03s :p

Still seems high. From your spec I would have expected 225bhp at the fly!

It tested at 207whp last time, which is 225 at the flywheel after adding 9%

Since then I've added a full 2.5" exhaust, decat, FMIC and ABD intake manifold (with phenolic gasket). 20bhp increase from that lot isn't unreasonable.

Also looking at my last dyno it also had that boost drop at about 3500rpm, but it didn't happen with the Custom Code or standard maps so it must be something the stage 2 map is doing.

seems about right rob looking at it but i would get the map sorted as there is clearly an issue just after 3.5k and then slightly further up but again cant you get him to send you a map to take into account for the decat fmic and the abd intake as to get the best from your current setup the map will need tweaking

stage 2 with your setup would see 230 to 240bhp ;-) on a healthy turbo

your getting the same dip at the same times on both torque and hp !!!!!

If they're measuring the torque using the rollers then it could be your clutch is slipping at 3.5k?

That's an excellent point actually as it's right at the point where it hits peak torque.

Clutch isn't an issue for me. My VR6 clutch can easily handle 300lbft. Plus VR6 clutch kits are cheap as chips anyway.

Ben's Volvo runs 440lbft on his rollers....
