Car is an fr tdi pd130
Car is absolutely brilliant day to day but I gave it a good good thrashing over the weekend and...
Brakes are terrible... standard items in good nick, never faded em before but got epic fade this time
Clutch... developed a nasty judder when pulling away but has now resolved itself and bites better than before with improved feel?
Intercooler... obviously too small as after a good bit of maximum attack the car felt like it hadn't been mapped at all but absolutely fine if driven normally for a bit.
Overall it felt like the car was very close to what it could cope with, looks like money will have to be spent to sort it. What's everyone else's experience of giving a stage one pd130 some abuse?
Ideas on how to go about the brakes and charge temps would be welcome... I don't like the cost of an fmic, how about water injection? Brakes wise is it 312s all the way or will decent discs, pads and fluid sort it?
Car will mainly be a daily driver with odd moments of lunacy
