What did you and your MK2 do today?

[Crafoo]

Exceptionally good mate, cracking gains too from the latest APR software.

Went from 265bhp to just over 330bhp and that was run on the 95 octane program, probably would have seen 340 on 98.

Feels a lot smoother in the power delivery and it's so much more potent, really gets up to speed with ease now, it was no slouch before but now it's great.

 

[connery-tdi]

Yeah I'm fine, thanks. Rear bumper rear quarter panel wheel arch and a brake light

Not TOO bad then. I needed bonnet, bumper, grill, headlight and wing.
At least no one was hurt!

Woah!! 330?! That's just with your intake right? No other mods

 

[Crafoo]

Well a stage 1 uprated clutch as well but yeah no other mods that would make any increase to power, just the ceramic Revo intake.

I'd fear for the stock clutch if I'd had the map first lol

 

[shnazzle]

You just got the Sachs clutch on the stock DMF right?

 

[Crafoo]

Sachs stage 1 and replaced the DMF because it was totally shot, if you're doing it I'd budget for both personally, seen a couple of people recently in the same boat.

 

[shnazzle]

Good info. Does put a spanner in the works for what I thought would be a mild 300hp tune with potential to run on stock clutch/fw

 

[Crafoo]

I personally wouldn't do it fella, based on what I've seen.

If you did get it mapped I think you'd be living on borrowed time with the clutch/fly

If you're going to be in that position you may as well get the clutch/fly done first then the map, it's the sensible way to do it rather than getting the map and running into problems where you can't afford to replace the clutch.

Lets face it it's not a cheap do.

 

[shnazzle]

No indeed. But the idea was to map it and immediately start saving pennies for the inevitable clutch fail. But that'll have to turn into saving more pennies and then some more to do both...and the downpipe

 

[Crafoo]

You could map it straight away and have the clutch last for a good while, or on the flipside you could map it and it could start slipping immediately, you have to ask yourself if you'd be willing to stump up the £900+ fitting for the clutch/fly if (or indeed when) the clutch does give up.

Just do that mate, I'm running stage 2 with no clutch problems

Crafoo, yours died whilst it was standard, so not a good example lol

 

[shnazzle]

Haha. Well regardless it has to wait a good while as we're broke as **** and buying a new TV hasn't helped haha. Replacing the clutch is always going to have to be done. Question was when...

 

[betty_swollox]

I've budgeted for clutch change if needed, it's been spot on so far, so not too worried.

As soon as it starts to slip it'll be changed, but until then I am gna enjoy it

 

[Crafoo]

My point is whichever way round you do it, budget for it! Because if you don't you'll wish you had.

I know all about being broke mate, everything came at the same time this month lol.

Clutch/fly, remap, car tax, insurance for two cars.......

Best way if you can do it, my hand was forced a little

 

[shnazzle]

Yeah I think we're all saying the same thing Ok to map first, but make sure you have the funds ready for clutch work
