    Prat in a TT

    [ QUOTE ] Gambba said: Rob didn't you mean PraTT?? Which TT was it? 150, 180, 225?? [/ QUOTE ] PraTT. I like it Don't know about TT power but it was an 02 plate so I guess 225. Very close race too so not 150 or 180 bhp if TT is heavier than A3 and mine is 207 bhp on dyno

    Anyone fitted a Milltek?

    True ESS_Three. That's why I was careful to say no gain in power at the same time

    [ QUOTE ] Ess_Three said: 'They' lie. 10-15 BHP my ****. I got precisely nothing...within the tolerances of a rolling road (2%) there was no noticable gain in power. A slight increase in torque - maybe 5 lb-ft or so...but nothing to mess up your shorts about. [/ QUOTE ] Err. Power is...

    decreasing lag before 3000rpm

    [ QUOTE ] AL B said: Ahh but Rob yours is always going to have less lag than an S3, due to the smaller turbo that the A3 has. [/ QUOTE ] Tell you what S3Babee, I'll swap my K03S turbo for your K04 and that'll cure your lag probs. No charge.

    decreasing lag before 3000rpm
