Had my S3 remapped at R-Tech and the performance is now really good, Nikki did a full health check and said the car was making healthy power and all okay. I've got all the Stage 2 bolt on mods (turbo-back exhaust, HPFP, uprated clutch etc..).
He also told me that the car has had it's rev limiter increased and it's now a hard-cut limiter, does this ****** the ignition? I noticed that as I approach the rev limit the limiter does come in pretty hard and there's a sudden loss of power.
A few questions:
1) Is it bad to now take it all the way to the limiter before changing (effectively bouncing off the limiter once or twice)?
2) Is it a fuel cut or does it ****** the ignition (or both)?
3) When I take it into the "Red" area of the rev counter, then release the throttle, I get massive pops and bangs out of the exhaust. Will this damage the valves and/or turbo? I'm assuming its not great for the sports cat! Why does it do this though?
