Well - I've found a pc for a post-Jabba report.

Well - it took about 3 hours of waiting (forced to read VW mags) but I finally got my car back putting out it's best power which was xxxBHP (oh, did I forget the numbers?)

The only clue I'll give is that it's very similar to Matt's Jabba session - Mike put my dyno and his on the same plot and there was little difference - Anyone coming to Derby tomorrow can see them if you wish - Have to tippex out the HP though.

My maximum torque kicks in at about 2250 RPM from what I could see from the dyno, and pretty much stays in the 140HP+ range to 4500RPM. Big grin factor.

Upon leaving Jabba the difference was immense but I was a little sad I couldn't really push it as the weather was atrocious and the driving conditions were appalling. But I gave it full throttle in third and fourth on a couple of crawler lane overtaking places and it pulls like a beauty, even uphill. I think third gear is still my favourite gear of all though, even if it does pull fourth & fifth gears from low revs now.

Graeme - see you in the morning. jabba haven't double booked you - I checked. All other Derby attenders, same applies! tomorra, y'all!

:cheers:

Jason surely that should be non-STD TDI surely

will be interesting to compare: standard fabia vrs vs chipped vrs and jasons chipped 5 speeder..

doubt it will make a difference if jon turns up tomorrow in his 3xx octy lol (except we can ovetake him when he stops for optimax)

Dream on sonny!*

*Unless the route is over 110 miles

Jason, get to a scanner soonest!

Sounds good Jason, see you tomorrow!

Sounds good Jason, see you tomorrow!

Care to "remind" us of your figures Matt?

Good to see you are pleased with your results mate. Bodes well for tomorrow!

Will be good to see a few of you tomorrow at the Derby meet and certainly looking forward to seeing the 300+ monster of Jons! :eek:

What is there to see?... it looks the same as any other lowered RS thats done 1xx thousand miles, but it has a nice paintjob on the bonnet

Jason,

As a matter of interest, are you tending to kick out a lot more smoke post- jabba?.....

:scrambles :drive1:

BFG - I wasn't intending to, but I kind of resigned myself to the fact I will be chucking out a bit more smoke when using the extra BHP over standard.

Graeme will vouch the car is smoking more, but it's not so much of a soot-y smoke as a white exhaust smoke. I've certainly never seen anything in the rear view mirror in terms of smoke under very quick acceleration.

As Mike @ Jabba said - it's running very clean given the extra power probably because my car has covered a decent mileage. Either way I'm chuffed with the lack of smoke - After the de-cat, could be a different story.

Certainly isn't smoking as much as I thought it might. Was very impressed as it happens and it is now pretty quick!

Here's hoping your remapping today goes well! Methinks your car is quite likely to smoke a bit more than mine afterwards. hehe.

All went fantastically well and doesn't smoke that much at all really! Bonus!
