here's an STI chasing my GTI down the main straight @ 135mph:blush: My (Polo) GTI (235bhp/1190kgs) had no trouble staying ahead, ..corners were another matter :huh: ..and a couple S3/Mk5 GTI sprints I found below: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=-d_dLR7LI1M http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=-qr5AafCiVc

Great post Dave, that's consistent with my experience (GTI), agree with everything you've said, except this part: Ferodo 2500 pads in rear do make a big difference too. OEM or better rotors will be ok, but def go Ferodo pads in the rear ;)

hey guys, who sells the cheapest KO4 001 in the uk? I've got an APR chip so if I get the APR KO4 001 upgrade kit, the software is free. but their ****** kit costs 1200 BP. If I buy my on KO4 001, the software is much cheaper (but not free).:(

Tuners just add a new 4.0 bar fuel pressure regulator, ..exhaust is 'recommended'. Interesting discussion about it here: http://forums.generationdub.com/showthread.php?t=21152

What about a KO4-001 on A3 AGU? Meant to be a simple bolt-on with no mucking about, many tuners offer it as a kit. Anyone on here done it? If yes, any feedback???

similar to flossing your teef innit? :rolleyes:

50 hey - well, ..you're only as old as the girl you feel :eyebrows: ..and forget the R8, we'll all chip in for a diverter valve for your birthday, ..the crudest, loudest whooossshhh!!! one we can find. Then you'll be way cool ol KB :sm4:

I'll make sure I steer clear of those guys when I'm driving through Dartford ha ha ha. ...you don't know exactly what happened, there could have been a stuff up, someone forgot, who knows, mistakes happen. Best to speak with them directly and sort it, rather than post here and potentially...

Very different cars. Most high-spec Jap cars have all their power at the top, that either appeals to you or it doesn't. At the risk of being labelled 'gay', I recently scored some S3 mirrors cheap and installed them, regardless of the repercussions. My gf said they looked tosser boy-racer...

Unless you know someone with the same system on the same car, you won't know what it will sound like without a resonator. I recently installed an exhaust system without a resonator. I thought I'd give it a go without one and if I didn't like it, i'd get a resonator put in. ...and I didn't like...

Almost certain one of the ABS wheel sensors is faulty. Find an Audi/VW mechanic with VAGcom diagnostic equipment. It should pick up the faults/codes and identify which sensor is faulty. Sometimes the sensors collect crap which builds up and interfers with the sensor, a simple clean can correct...

uumm, ..speaking of Porches, spent a day being trained by the Aust 2007 Carrera Cup Champ earlier this year. He flogged my GTI so hard I was almost in tears, ..hit every ripple strip at full speed, on some corners I went white with fear, totally sh*t myself. How it hung on I'll never know (see...

You bet it would have! ...911 turbos are so damn quick. I've tracked my car with GT3s and had fun with them (within reason), but 911 turbos just blast off into the stratosphere once 3rd gear is planted to the floor. Simply awesome. ...and if you chip them (APR), insanely quick - 541...

Cheers! I'm still developing my A3T, haven't had it long. The car I made reference to with the mods/FMIC was my Polo GTI. Just to prove I CAN withstand ridicule and on occassion, invite it, here's me taking on 1000bhp - 9 sec 1/4 mile monster. Seems my FMIC wasn't 'contributing' enough power...

No hard feelings - and humour makes the forums more fun, lively and engaging. Maybe I felt (as others did) that using the word "contribute" wasn't grounds to have my comments dismissed outright and then be subject to ridicule. When it's deserved, fair enough - and others can decide whether or...

I simply questioned the statement that FMICs added no power, and presented another way of looking at whether they do or don't. In my own experience - they certainly do, and I thought I'd share that with you guys on here. When you're shelling out loads for a FMIC, you want to make an informed...

I said "idiom" not idiot, in case that's what you thought I said. Although having read what you just posted above, a "t" would have been far more appropriate.

Idiom - contribute to, to be an important factor in; help to cause.

I wouldn't attribute the 3psi to the FMIC alone, and as a general rule, FMICs actually drop psi slightly. Nor am I in complete disagreement with the technicalities you've outlined, just pointing out that FMICs contribute to additional power, despite the definition of power we use or how it is...

I made every effort to ensure the conditions were replicated (as best as possible) with every mod/dyno run, eg time of day, similar weather, same driving distance/driving temps, even same dyno operator. So it's fair to say that the SMIC was not heatsoaked in previous runs, rather, I would argue...
