Hi all,
I've had my a3 1.8T AUM remapped today at AmD in Essex. The dyno results showed an increase from 155 bhp to 189bhp. I must admit the car pulls a lot stronger now but I can't deny I was hoping to see in excess of 200 bhp?, as others have said this engine should produce with a stage 1.
Only mods are a smoothed airbox with pipercross panel filter and forge equivalent recirculating dv.
The max power is now at 5200 rpm as opposed to 6200 rpm beforehand, so could it be losing boost pressure? It had the standard spring in the dv at the time of remapping and I have now put in the yellow coloured spring.
Could it also be that the ecu needs a little time to adapt to the new remap? They asked me what fuel I use which is Tesco Momentum, and said that after a few fill ups the power should increase more. But is this true even though I was already using this fuel?
Any thoughts and suggestions welcome as always.
Nick.
