Personally if I was running this setup and level of power, I wouldn't be going to AMD
AMD for your basic stage 1/2 flash type maps, but for full on custom work, I would be going only to Badger5 or my personal preference is Niki at R-Tech to get a perfect map on this. Proper diagnostics would also be carried out....not saying AMD don't but for me R-Tech push the boundaries and set the benchmark in the tuning world which no other tuner has been able to match apart from Bill Brockbank
Well...I'll thank you for the opinion,but you may not have read the thread from start to finish,or seen any of the work that's been done.
Mine is the first Stg4 S3 8P that they've built up from scratch,and apart from this issue with misfiring at idle,the car has been totally reliable from stock,right through to 500bhp+.
From that time,they've built a few others up to Stg3 spec using both Revo and APR software,and as far as I'm aware of from the owners,no complaints either.
The problem here is that the car has NO errors to go on,and all the the diagnostics have revealed is a constant "hunting" if you like,between set levels of fuelling,and 20% overfuelling.
The diagnostics have also been shared with Revo,whose map is on the car,and having changed the following:
MAP,MAF,air filter,thermostat
That only leaves the other sensors which have been checked out and reading normally,such as rail pressure,Lambda probe and so on....the next step was to swap out the maps,and whilst the stock map fuels correctly,the uprated maps from both Revo and AMD overfuel,so the problem is not with the mapping either.
What I have to ask you,is what leads you to make the comment about not going to AMD,despite them seeming to have the competence to run a BTCC team,and to build cars to the level mine has run perfectly at for over 3yrs.
Now what I can't see is how many Stg3 or 4 S3 8P's or Golf R's that either R-Tech or Badger5 have built,but I do note however that Badger5 are now Revo dealers,so whilst I do not doubt that they're very good at what they do,I think I'll stick with people I know and trust personally,which is clearly where you are with your guys.
I'm just not sure that either have built an S3 to this sort of power yet,but if you can point me to examples,let me know.
BTW......yours is very nice indeed,and are those Berlin plates on the original pics?
ANyway...if you're going to an AMD RR day in November,let me know when,and you might see mine there.
