Why is it that your car is more powerful with only stage 2 software than the other Leon's with the stage 2+ software bill. That looks to me that paying for the next level of software is a waste of money.
I know its more than just software but the other cars have all the supporting mods to go with it.
have a look at the comparison plots I posted... Headline figures are just that. Headlines.
My mod list is quite large.. more than some others from the day.
Mine is making good power as its sustaining its torque longer in the rev range.. Reasons which support this being
lower overall boost, no real lump of mid range boost which although drives up torque also drives up cyl temps, which in turn hurts available timing, which hurts the torque. Drive them hard early and too high, they will fall away sooner is my experience of these, and 1.8t's which I have done more of. I have turned mine up to 9 and made less power but achieved more mid range torque.. I do not like making it hotter than I have to. Thats my preferred way to tune. Not everyone will agree with it.
If you want more of a mid range kick of torque, which is more real world useful, than top end power then the higher mid range boost will achieve that. Its side effect however is heat. Thats the enemy as far as I'm concerned. The two APR cars which ran 3.4 code show the difference. One had wmi, low aits, one had fmic and 20'c higher aits and made less torque. No coincidence there.
Flow and heat management remain key things I like to address personally.
From my own leon, when I have cranked it up I just pumped more heat into it and lost out the top end. In a fwd leon, how much of the torque can you actually turn into tractable power? I know mines
lower torque than most from the day but it still does a merry tcs dance in 3rd in the dry.. More torque than tractable is kinda futile to me.
