lol (aint you got no nuts i can borrow') funny as lol typical ben
 
ok a small update went to amd today and i got my cambelt and water pump changed at a young age of 51k on the clocks
BUT the best part about 2009 is my eibach arbs 25/25 mm and they are fantastic car handles nearly as good as maz' lol but way better than D.K's
but seriously there awesome no understeer no oversteer just planted around all bends at silly speeds( and to the limit of how brave i am feeling) but amazing i cant describe it recommend it to anyone and recommend AMD to do the job
Told you that you would like it!

mate i cannot stress enough how right you was, honestly its immense words cannot describe the feel of the car, at low speed i was thinking this is a waste but then i took my other half home and founf some corners and my face nearly come off with the grip
strut braces next then turbo and its finished (apart from a detail)
312's going on later thanks to pat
 
ok after spending a day with bra i fitte my new brakes, well 312s so not exactly a major thing but thanks fester for the carriers.
there a big big inprovement on the standar288 set up and i am very happy with the progress my smirf is making
get my CAI and audi s3 strut brace through today too so handling is well on the way before my BT

Glad they fit ok - you can thank Maz for telling me you'd be at AMD :)
 
lol yes my dodgy d button lol
ok thanks maz for telling pat i was there
they are really good the 312's a worthy upgrade
i fitted my CAI this evening keeps the air box ice cold actually
 
got an email from p-torque this morning my turbo arrived with them, so i am contacting them monday to tell them what dates i am free to go get POWER
 
ok went to performance torque this morning to have my hybrid turbo fitted and mapped, after a long old day it was finally done and the end results are
a smooth power graph with 355lb ft torque with only drops 10lb ft between 1.5k and 4750rpm and the power of 222bhp at 4750rpm is mental it goes like stink.. the power seems pretty dull at 200bhp until 4k then its like V-tech kicks in and it is just mad lol, but the power is always there when you need it and on the road feels more like 300bhp than 222.
i must say a big thanks to will who actually took4 hours to CUSTOM map my car, he was in and out of the workshop tweaking iffeternt things to make sure i was completely satisfied with what i would leave with.
i will put a power graph up tomorrow (or whenever will sends me one) but you will ne inpressed the graph looks like a remapped lcr
i was told by will due to having the car iling a lot i did suffer from heat soak on the ast 2 runs but i was also tol my car will adapt and i will get more power when this happens.
so yeah 222bhp @4750 and 355lb ft torque @1.5k - 4750
if people think there remapped cars are fast try a hybrid and p-torque combo and you will be amazed
 
The power seems pretty dull at 200bhp until 4k revs? You only have another 1.5k revs to play with after that lol before you top out in said gear?

Figures look good though and must be good if it holds the torque ( look a my progress thread to see my torque drop after 2.5k lol) can't wait to get a BT

How much was the ARB mate?
 
well i had 200bhp before but now its steay it feels like there is nothing then wallop full boost hits and your away it truely amazing
and at 4750rpm i have 345 lb ft torque which is nice
i paid 375all in mate from AMD
 
ill be keeping it, i have asked will if he can tweak my map as i think there is a slight hesetance in my car at the moment, but i not sure if its the maf or what lol
one thing i discovered i can no longer do 30mph in 3rd and race dan lol i have no low down power lol
its all top end
 
Diesel with all top end lol :D. So would you say it's worth the money/time? Hows the traction?
oh yeah for sure its definately worth all the money and time for sure.
the traction is really good actually because the map is a gradual one not a spike like my remap, when tnhe power really comes in at 3750rpm i already doing 45mph so in secon the traction is really good hardly anyspin which is nice as before it used to hit my torque spike a spin straight away. i think this will help up santa pod a lot as i suffered with spin in 1st and 2nd..
