    Thanks for clarfying Mark. I dont know who Ben is or what car he had on the day, but i was referring to Leon's car (the other grey Golf R) and Michael's (zbeasty) black R. That explains why there was such a difference in power/torque from one car to another when essentially they were all running the same modifications and a custom tune. So do you mean they were running a toned down tune meant for a race track, or for drag racing?
    Well with these two cars the power figures are almost identical I think one peaked at 207atw the other 208atw but its an aggressive tune and one you wouldn't want to run at the track all day on a hot day. For something like this you run a bit lower boost and if necessary reduced timing both of which aid in dropping the engine temps and on the track this is what you are up against. So in Bens case we dropped this to I think 24psi with a smooth linear delivery still running decent timing and so on and he was still able to overtake AMGs down the straight at wakefield, remember he has the smaller S3 intercooler too and this doesn't help when you are going all out. At the strip with his current original tune the smaller S3 FMIC doesn't heaksoak nearly as much as say my own THS/revlimit/Godspeed/insert-clone-here core so its actually going to be better and you can also see this clearly in cars like Sebs/courtney's R's 12.06@113 runs
    For reference and also to upset people on the friday two days prior to the dyno day Gorans ran a 212atw so that sort of tells you where the dyno fairs in things, I'm glad it reads lower.
    Leon's is a bit different he wanted something in between so we gave it to him but now after experiencing the bitter taste of defeat at the dyno day he's again seen the light and he's man enough to be running the full tune. I may do another revision for him however with a bit of smoothing -recall that he did have a Justin Bieber CD in the car during tuning and I have to factor this into the tune (while I am going off on this wild tangent I won't tell you what was in Goran's car at this stage but I do have the pics for future release if required.)
    I am probably going to end up giving these guys the 11map capable mygenius beast so they can switch things around at their leisure but for the moment they just drop by the workshop or house and I switch it as required. In reality this might only occur once or twice a year
    I left out Michaels car, he'd just modified his intake to run in from the drivers side straight into the turbo from the front and I have no idea what intake temps it was seeing in reality, I actually wish he had the original setup on there, its anyone's guess as to whether or not the MAF was seeing correct values with the new short path. We just have to log it and see whats happening, it may have even sorted itself out by now too.
