i drive mine spiritedly and get around 450miles per full tank. coming from my pervious car which took £70 per week in petrol to filling up every 2 weeks its great!
Since I have owned mine I have always got 43 MPG. This was the same when it was standard and through mapping stages 1 & 2.
So no fuel economy penalty by going to Stage 2.
T Spark, you'll have one continuous smile all the way home... Wait till you feel the pull from 3500 - 4500 RPM... You will end up driving it like a petrol chasing the red line.. It's awesome and very addictive (just without the great sound)

Problem with mine is I only bring it out to play, no 'normal' driving. However ive noticed on the warm up and cool down period it shoots up in mpg and I would honestly say 45mpg is still easy to hit if you are not on a mission.
As turkish has said, I am now chasing the red line, and betwee 3,500 all the way to near on 5,000rpm in fact, it pulls like me on a saturday out round donny! LOTS!

any way yeh I think i could get 45mpg but it only really happens on the motorway. Oh and T. Spark i forgot to say that mine smoked like a biatch for the first week or so........I couldnt see out of the rear window at times! But its settled down now thank god lol. So the same might happen to yours
Ive got 225bhp and 370 torques
I know its capable of more but I want a reliable car a little bird told me your goin hybrid?

Ive had mine back for around 1,000 miles now, and the smoke hasnt calmed down lol!
Going to get some treatment stuff, and see if that helps, then with our logs that might be the deciding factor of what to do next for mine.
I get well over 40mpg if I dont play all the time in it. Easy

hi, i am buying a turbo from Turbo Dynamics on the 15th , they have advised me to take it to JBS designs. any advise on what i should modify next to support this upgrade as Jabba mapped it to 204 bh and i have blown two turbo's?
It all really depends where you are in the country and how far you are willing to travel. I for one would without doubt recommend RSTuning, Paul seems to be the master of Stage 2 TDi tuning at the moment, he really knows how best to tune these cars. RSTuning are a supplier of Turbo Dynamics turbo's, so worthwhile giving them a bell as they might be able to do you a good Turbo and remap package.

Hmm I dont mean to be rude, but why would TD advise to take it to JBS?
JBS quote (unless they have changed their minds) that your car would not see anymore than it currently has without uprating the injectors aswell. However, every other tuner now can get 220-250bhp out of them, on standard injectors.
. My advice which would be the same as you would get from people on Briskoda,Audi-sportnet,UKMK4`s and all the other VAG forums would be not to go to JBS. Just do a search on all the VAG forums and see if you can find anyone running a PD diesel hybridtuned by jbs.

cheers guys.
well turbo dynamics advised i went there because they have taken there cars there before.
so i rang them and they said it will only be 195 bhp unless i modify cooler ect.
i just want it to not brake and the price to be right

turkish i have just emailed rs tunning for a price on the map, and also a complete price on supplying the turbo and fitting and mapping to see if they can beat the price i have or if its close to the mark i would travel for quality.
