I know this is the second thread on this topic but as the other one is 6 pages long i thought i would start a new thread.
Last sunday davemack eddy golfer and I spent the whole day putting in parts and vag-coming the results. And i want to thank Guy Harding for lending me the Vag-com cable.
All the results were done on Eddy's car this was the first time any of us have used Vag-com so im sure we may have been able to get more out if we knew more. And any quater mile times were done o a private road of a friend of eddys. and 0-100 km/h runs on the entry to the highway. Both readings are taken at the MAF so its after its been through the straighteners etc.
Vag-com from what i can tell takes a reading roughly every 50-57 sec or what looks lik roughly 800rpm. This affects all of my results as 50 sec or 800rpm is a long time in a 0-100km/hr sprint so i couldnt really tell if the boost was coming on earlier or staying later and there could have been greater improvements in airflow and temp drop but what i have is good enough for me. I know Guy has another program he uses which reads much much more but i didnt have it.
Now the results
I know the standard figures dont look so good only 2 g/sec increase but it drives better then it reads. And i know some will say that the mods arent worth doing but ask those who have done it what they think, i know from a non chipped point of view i can definitely say that it pulls stronger. If your in brisbane and you want a drive let me know and ill show you.
Now chipped you can see it increased air flow by 10g/sec or just over 6% increase. Which is a gain of roughly 8.8hp. And then the 11deg celcius drop in temp also increase performance. I was pretty happy with that.
Eddy aslo pulled a 14.2 using vagcom.
Anyway these are just some little results. Take them as you will but please dont start a war over them.
All you have to do is take a car for a drive who has these mods and im sure you will tell the difference. I know mine feels better.

... yeah ... right) and I whole-heartedly concur with both the increases in performance (especially top end) and the better turbo sound. Mine did a (vagcom) 14.8 with 3 on board.
