S3-Iain
Registered User
Hi, I'm looking for some suggestions and ideas to why my S3 is underpowered.
It's currently stage 2+ revo with the following mods:
Revo intake
Runner flap delete
Apr HPFP
Turbo back non res milltek with decat
NGK7 iridium spark plugs
Sach organic clutch and solid flywheel
PCV blanked
I had it dyno'd a few weeks back and it made 319bhp and similar torque.
Had a little play with my friends 313bhp focus and it pulled on me on the motorway.
The stage 2+ map I've got on the car is supposed to be making around 350-360bhp mark but I'm way down on that.
Services every 5k using nano drive 5w40 oil and the cars currently on 97k
I'm getting no warning faults other than the runner flap motor (because of the delete)
The car runs fine & feels like it pulls hard with no hesitations or missfire.
slight blue smoke from cold start but it's done that for the past few years since I put the decat on.
Any suggestions of things to check would be appreciated, I'm wanting to get a intercooler, discharge pipe and throttle pipe on the car soon but want to find out why it's down on power before I do that.
Thanks!
