So I wasn't going to get any new wheels for the car but I really liked the design of the neuspeed rse10 and being big brake friendly it was a perfect choice for the ttrs set up.    Neuspeed

Hi Ant hope you are well, when you had your last power run I know it reached 390bhp but what was the torque and where was the maximum delivered. Seem to recall 520NM (383lb/ft) but not sure. I remember at stage 2 you were at 331bhp but again I can't remember the torque figure, it's my age getting on a bit, 54 in November.TIA.:cool:

Stage 2  331bhp and 520nm/383lb/ft

 

Stage 3 390bhp and 561nm/414lb/ft

Thanks for that much appreciated. When my 245 (technically now VRS306) gets it's stage 2 bits hopefully peak power will be around 6,000 rpm too which should give a top speed close to 180MPH. Hopefully torque will be in the 520-540 region also.:biggrin:

So I've finally fitted the bonnet struts to the car. Had one problem with having the wide wings and being made from fibre glass the mounting point is thinker so had to order some longer m6 ball studs (25mm) it makes the engine bay look a lot cleaner. 

 

Also picked up lastnight was a milltek decat, takes getting wrapped and hopefully fitted the this week. The neighbours will love me lol

Ant would like to thank you for inspiring me to take my car to stage 2 like I hinted back in April and the big day finally arrives on 23rd October so will let you know what it makes and post a graph. Exciting times ahead just hope my standard clutch can take it! Enjoy your car and will hope to get to meet you at sometime in the future, happy motoring.B)

The DB9 front calipers are the same as yours :) and they were way cheaper than TTRS / RS3 calipers. And, they are colour match with the rears 
Any opinion about the pads?

Not really this is a case of mistaken identity as my 245 has bog standard 340mm front and 310mm rear ventilated discs with TRW calipers and pads, plenty for road use, until those stainless steel brakelines and DOT5 brake fluid get added next month, then it's fade free braking.:dry:

Did you removed the TTRS calipers and the 370mm discs?!:dull:

The car has been mapped at shark performance in Mansfield I can't thank Ben and the team enough. We did a before and after runs. The before run was 252bhp, stage 1 303bhp and then stage 2 331bhp and 520nm it goes like stink now and puts a massive smile on your face. Also we did in 5th on the rollers and omg the Speedo was reading 170mph and the dyno read 150mph and we had another gear to go at. I think this will be close to a 200mph car, roll on Germany for the autobahn

Remarkably similar to my 245 with 248bhp standard, stage 1 at 302bhp and finally stage 2 at 336bhp and 517NM of torque. Even faster at stage 2 due to manual hatch a bit lighter than your DSG Estate both on factory turbos for comparison. Mine was 400NM as standard.:party:
