DeanCorp GTI Pirelli Dyno @ RE Customs GIAC Stg 2+

[dave_r]

...which was long overdue for the new file they had been working on for me.

Do RE do GIAC tunes or did I miss something?

While I was on their the operator recognised me and said he did a Golf R recently, I know whose it is but have blurred it out for their own privacy, I managed to get it mapped over eachother for comparison.

I know it was for ****s and giggles but overlaying the R isn't really comparable given the obvious drivetrain differences?

that golf r was dynod in fwd mode according to dean on the other forum.

They = GIAC.

Nope both mine and the other were done in AWD mode. Why would Ray go to the effort of doing whatever is required to make the car ready for FWD when he has an AWD dyno right there?

I'm all for healthy discussion but putting up irrelevant figures without the facts is nothing more than **** stirring.

They = GIAC.

Ah ok

Thats quite funny.
I seen all 4 wheels turning lol...

Just confirmed it was done in 4WD mode, sorry for any confusion.

Ah ok

When I proposed the same question a while back in regards to a GIAC powered S3, Guy harding said that awd or fwd makes very little difference to the dyno readouts in their testing. So they cant have it both ways.
Even if the figures are not directly comparable. The power curve is. the GIAC powered car seems to come on much harder which would translate to a much faster feeling car.

I reckon you boys should get together and toss the keys amongst yourselves so you can actually feel the difference between each tune. At the end of the day figures on a plot dont really tell the full story all the time.

Anyways I think its time to give credit where credit is due. GIAC were criticized for not having the mid range power on DSG equipped cars that some of the other tuners had. They have done their homework and come back to the table with an improved tune that will no doubt impress.

Dean, Eurospeed and GIAC have put a lot of time and effort into this one. So congrats to them.

Totally agree Tim...great figures there by the GIAC and very similar in terms of the power curve except for down low where as you mentioned its stronger.

Its a real credit to the tuners involved.

Im all for swapping keys around
As long as its not in a bowl at someones house....lol.

Interesting info, in anycase its been clarified.

Yeah its good to see there are various tuners working to improve their products. Does GIAC have a product for the Golf R to do a direct comparison?

Hey that plot of yours with boost has strangely disappeared

What actuator are you using on that ?

I'll upload the AFR one later tonight with the details below. That was a mistake

No I want the boost one back again

Stock actuator

If you want one, you will just have to get an S3/Pirelli/Golf R and GIAC Stg 2+

Sure do
