Hi guys,
I have an S3 8P sportback which I have had remapped. Since the remap I have noticed a more audible level of air noise, bit like turbo chatter or sucking.
This happens most often at low revs when accelerating from a standstill. I have read that remaps can cause more air noise than standard?
Anyway, I have had the map since I bought the car 6 months ago ( it's an 09 with 60,000 on the clock) and investigated the power on a rolling rd
I was disappointed to say the least when they said it was producing 216bhp at the wheels and 275bhp overall. Considering a remap should give this vehicle between 35-50 extra BHP, I felt pretty miffed as I was expecting 300bhp or over.
The technician on the rolling rd also took my car for a drive. He said it was sluggish for an s3 8P and he was expecting more acceleration. He also picked up,on the air noise too.
A mapped S3 should be pushing you back into your seat he said. I explained it can and does perform but seems inconsistent. One minute seems quick, the next it doesn't.
I am due to get all of the connecting hoses to do with the turbo/ intake looked at tomorrow for a starting point.
If no issues are found, i am going to get the remap taken off the vehicle and put it back to stock to see if this is causing an issue.
Has anyone else experienced anything similar?
Thanks in advance
James
