ok, so a tuning company in northern ireland which ive used on past cars and got my milltek cat back from and fitted by last week gave me a few power quotes for mapping my fr. i've got bluefin at the minute, and thy were saying how they're maps are better than superchips, etc and that they've had a few people with bluefin who've come to them and couldn't believe the difference once they'd tried this companies map.
Their stage 1 for the tfsi 200 goes to 248, which is a bit higher than superchips, but totally believable as its lower than many other companies' maps.
Anyway, they didn't offer switchable mapping at the time, so i went bluefin, and now im considering getting their switchable unit with their map instead. obviously im not going to spend the £400 it'd cost for another 8 odd bhp for stage 1, but once i get the downpipe and sports cat, i was asking what they could do then.
They claim that one of the employees mkV golf gti was running almost 300bhp on only a carbonio with a pipercross filter and full milltek tbe.
They also said that they're own rolling road was the lowest figure of four they had seen it on, and that they're own rr showed 298bhp.
He's since sld the car, so i couldn't get a go to see, but ive got no reason to doubt them on the figures really.
I know a lot of people on here will say it cant be done etc, but what im more interested in is, sating they did do it, in order to get this amount of power out of my engine, surely they must be changing some of the values in the ecu to setings which will ultimately damage the car right? thats what im worried about anyway.
They had an evo in when i was there and he was talking about how high they can be tuned by changing the air to fuel raito, but is this not something which shouldnt be changed? apr state in the info about their hpfp that they are one of the few companies offering hpfp's for the tfsi who stick to the vag's air to fuel ratio for the engine and that to do otherwise is harmful to the engine.
I was just wandering what everyone thought. i know that on the milltek. com page for the leon fr tfsi, there's a media article about star performance getting 290 odd from the fr tfsi with only a milltek and a filter, so im not worried about wether or not it can be done, just wandering if its going to blow my engine, cause if it was that easy then why dont revo etc offer this power on these upgrades?
