Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

        That was my rationale .. I only wanted that and Satnav & MDI. Everything else I thought was good if you had the coin to throw around.

                    • Took the R out to the APR organised dyno day in Canberra today.

                      Recorded 188.5kW at the wheels with just the stage 1 tune and no hardware.

                      Not a bad starting point considering the only work done to the car so far is with a laptop.

                      Will post up the dyno graph when I can scan it in.

                      • Yeah thats pretty good.. generally it is around that for most stage 1 tunes, it will be a few KW difference but I think it has more to do with the dyno than the car.

                        Best bang for buck, a stage 2 & 3 you wont get the same level of uplift.

                          Yup, pretty happy with that as a starting point - to my mind that's how it should have come from the factory.

                          There wasn't a Stage 3 R there today that I know of, but a Stage 3 S3 pulled 255kW at the wheels which is the benchmark we are now aiming for with my car.

                          Anyway, the dyno graph:

                                Do you mean for a used vehicle?
