Car looked good fella. Most cars got low bhp figures so perhaps it was just the hot weather killing the fun. Least they are looking at it for you, sure they will get to the bottom of it if there is anything wrong

 

[matt88 lcr]

Cheers mate yea I said to them I hadn't bin running right since stage 2 was done and I brought it back before and they said it was fine but told them about how it's not boosting right since and they said there av a look over it again so hopefully they will sort it

Here's the vids as links didnt work

Do the tyres rub with the 20mm spacers mate???

 

[matt88 lcr]

No but car isn't tht low only lowered on 40/50 kw springs and rarely av anyone in the back of the car


Matt

 

[t0m]

Ahhh I thought it was your car sorry I didn't say hi mate I didn't know for sure it was you or what you looked like lol!

The car looked sweet though and sounded lovely! Very hot day as El said mate so wouldn't worry too much about the figures and you said the car isn't boosting right past 5500rpm. Hopefully they can sort it soon when it's back down there

Has the actuator been checked? Just wondering if this might be weak at all. Any boost leak codes on vagcom?

Good to see your car up close though and keep up the good work you're doing

 

[matt88 lcr]

Cheers tom I watched ya car on the rollers I'm back down there on the 8 th sept

No codes and as far as I know there no leaks. Could b actuator but problem started soon as it went stage 2.

Top tire. Buy as many as you can as changing soon for new eu regs

 

[matt88 lcr]

Really wht they goin to stop making them there such a gd tire for 101 quid each

Matt

 

[8bit]

They're ace, I'm on my second set now. Yeah I heard something about the EU banning asymmetrical tread pattern tyres because they apparently make too much road noise. Which is bollocks, the Vreds make far less road noise than the old Falken FK452s I had before.

 

[t0m]

Not heard anyone complain about road noise on these!

Idiots!!!!

 

[matt88 lcr]

Tht would b a **** resson to stop makin a great proforming tyre the don't cost a fortune.
