Booked in at bills (Badger 5) for a custom remap 4th may :) can't wait

[dre_S3]

Well the time has come had the car for 15 months now and I have spent a lot MONEY, time, sweat and blood getting it the way it is now so all booked in for the 4th of May with Bill to work his magic

Last time I took my car to Bills to get my coil pack harness fitted and had it on the rolling road to see how the car was running I made 211 bhp which I was very happy with the car as its still on a standard map and 12 years old, since then I have a few more mods including a FMIC and a 3" DP and sports cat so be nice to see the difference with these mods.

roll on may

Good luck Dre!

Any estimate figures?

 

[superkarl]

lets all guess...

282hp
274lbs

 

[Paradox1]

279bhp
283lbs

 

[dre_S3]

I would like to hit that 280 bhp mark and around 270 lbs would be nice

 

[badger5]

remember badger torque is some 16% lower reading than "other" dynos...

 

[Pabl0]

260/270 without a 3' tip.

 

[Blackcupraa]

Could I just recomend a few basic checks from yourself before you go to Bills?

Check your Driveshaft Gaiters are not worn or split, nobody likes Greasy Rollers

Check your Boost pipes and vac hoses for splits etc this will affect the overall power and running of the car.

Finally 256 / 260

 

[dre_S3]

Everything is near on new on my car so hoping for no boost leaks all I'm going to do next is put some colder plugs in, check for fault codes and give the car an oil and filter change a few days before I go to Bills

 

[dre_S3]

The time has come going up to Bills in the morning changed the oil and filter also put some colder plugs in the other day everything seems good to go, just checked for faults and all good there to so just hope it all goes well

 

[s3dave]

Good luck mate...:icon_thumright:

 

[s33nyboy12]

260 / 251

my guess

Sean

 

[dre_S3]

Cheers Dave :icon_thumright:

 

[Sam_]

The drive home will be fun. I reckon 275-280?

 

[Tim_Attard]

260 - 270 I guess good luck

 

[Prawn]

HOW has nobody already said this yet?

MAY THE FORTH BE BE WITH YOU DRE!

 

[dre_S3]

Cheers guys just got here

 

[dre_S3]

Smoke test done all ok, and first run on standard 210 map It made 219bhp time to map her be back soon

 

[superkarl]

waaaaahoooo

 

[RS3_Simon]

Any news yet mate?

 

[dre_S3]

No yet mate still mapping

 

[Prawn]

ooooooooooooooh, I like it when we get live updates.

 

[Scullies]

AND....................................?

I bet he is out draining a tank of fuel

 

[dre_S3]

lol just got back from a 2 hour drive and i still had to take it to the countrys roads near me really give it a test love it the boost holds well through the gears and the car feels alive the most Bill could squeeze out was 260 bhp and about 275 lbft Bill said his rollers reads the torque 16% lower so worked out around that. I did expect a bit more but Bill said my wastegate is most proberly the problem and that the turbo is also old now but im happy with the way it feels and drives and he done a great job as usual and he has put a great map on my car as you will see below.
I have thought about a hybrid in the future with some rods and manifold but that wont be for awhile

[daz-20vt]

Thats a good result though with your supporting mods. Not to mention people get hung up on peak fgures but as long as you have a good curve and your happy with it then you on a winner mate!! Great news!!

 

[dre_S3]

That's it mate the car pulls well all the way through and feels so much better and I'm more then happy

 

[Scullies]

haha, I knew you were out smashing it around the place.

260 is a good number, seems to be the common figure. Hope you enjoy it and start saving for the hybrid

yeah mate I'm at home and I feel like taking it out again lol
I will be happy with this at the mo as it is my family car to, but I have an other project I have been working on and I'm thinking of wacking a s3 lump In my clio williams or maybe turbo on the 2.0lt lump in there not sure yet, should be fun

From 18psi as well. That's pretty good.

 

[dre_S3]

sure is mate

 

[s3mad_dude]

I was grinning like a Cheshire Cat when I had mine done! Even now when the savegery kicks in, it still puts a grin on my face and I love the POWERRR!!!! Mwahahahah!

Good work Dre, you've done a cracking job with the mule and your perfectionist attention to detail is great.

 

[badger5]

another example of same cars, but different wear and tear on them and their differing outputs...

Both S3's.. Std k04's, stage 2+ with relentless mani's downpipes, fmic 80mm TIPs etc...

 

[superkarl]

Epic torque curve
