Performance quite impressive ten Nick? Guessing you got AmD stage 2 remap?

 

[Skorchio]

Yeh feels great, not sure what its pulling but it allot faster, need to get my hand on Aarons SP3 so i can whack the boost and timeing up

Needs to order my new DV but i'm waiting on a clever boffin to reply to my thread under the Tuning section!!

 

[D.K]

What was it in the end then Nick ???

Let me know when your going to go to AmD and I'll try and pop over.

 

[Skorchio]

I duno TBH im going out tonight with aaron and we are going to do a few tests etc to make sure it is fixed.. TotalVAG said they found some stuff to try it out, TBH im did ask and i dont know if i want to ask, cause if its somin that means i didnt really need a new EGT i would not be a happy bunny

Now sure about AMD now, Its a long drive, i might just w8 to see what it pulls at the RR day

Also ill have a rought idea when i give aaron a drag race late On my dads private estate of course.

 

[D.K]

Probley best to wait for the RR day mate, It'll be cheaper too.

I'm sure you'll cane him mate

 

[Skorchio]

HAHA i wouldn't be so sure

Ill let you know the results hehe

 

[Skorchio]

MPG is back but EGT still flagged

Played with the revo and had it running at 8-8 with only 4.8 CF readings on the logs..

Ill get it back in to the shop to get looked at again

New disc's went on today with Ferodo DS2500 pads, These feel 100 times better than they were before and they've not been bedded in yet.
Next up full service and brake fluid change all beeing done by AmD next month.

 

[Willie]

Aye the DS2500's are good, what discs did you go for?

 

[D.K]

I got the standerd one from Seat at a very good price, and I'v been told they are Brembo's, I did'nt get them grooved in the end cos I'd heard such good things about the pads I did'nt think it would be worth it.

Do you think it's worth replaceing the brake fluid with dot 4 or 5.1 ???

 

[Damoegan]

Do you think it's worth replaceing the brake fluid with dot 4 or 5.1 ???

No.

Speak to Bill about it as I remember his saying something about there being no difference from dot4 to 5.1. He can tell you the right fluid to get mate.

 

[Willie]

Yup its worth going for a higher boiling point brakes fluid. Bill sells RBF 600 with is DOT 5.1 (I think) at about £35 for enough fluid to change out the whole system (1.5 ltrs)
If I were to go for 1 piece discs again I would have gone for the Brembos (perhaps with grooves)
Will you manage to help me with http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=202447&highlight=brake+test when you have them bedded in?

 

[D.K]

I'll get the fluid changed and I'll give it a go

 

[Willie]

Excellent, thanks bud.
I'll be doing it myself when I get my set up on but this won't be for at least three weeks
Cheers again

 

[Skorchio]

Cant beet good brakes.. Saved me a few times.. I think i neeed to get me fluid changed tho, dont think its been done since new.. Brakes are still amazing so never felt the need!

 

[D.K]

Well I just cant stop spending money at the moment Popped into Halford's just to have a look at what gauges they had and ended up buying these.

Auto Gauge 52mm Boost gauge and Oil temp gauges, I seen these fitted to a few other cars on here so thought I'd give them a go.

Just need to find a pod for them now

I'v heard mixed reviews about these but they are probley the most O/E looking
