Anyone else's wallets hate SCN?

[tseaman20]

It cant just be me that everytime i come on the forum i end up spending a few more ££ on mods ive promised myself i'm going to do slowly,

So far since i bought the car ive fitted new DV, Tip, Hids, LED Fogs/Sides/numberplate, CAI and just bought a Forge Short SHifter and looking to book in for a remap next month.... does it ever stop? will my wallet ever be safe?

How do you have 260bhp from a k03? if they arnt suppose to go past the power point of 240? have you been to another dyno to confirm this 260? im very curious.

I wanted to go to another meeting which have the same dyno as my mapper has, but I was hindered that day.

I've been to JD Engineering in the Netherlands, a VAG specialist (more than 20 years afaik). Also see: http://www.speedhunters.com/2012/04/jd-engineering-a-players-affair/

overrated rollers? 10 minutes of google told me 230/240 MAX as a k03 cant compress any more air to make more power, I mean if it was 241/242 fair enough but yours is claiming 20 bhp more than any tuner is saying a k03 can make? id take it to another RR and see what power you really have.

 

[nd-photo.nl]

Tuners will always state the lowest possible, remember that (otherwise expectations cant be met). And the turbo isnt the only factor in making power

I dont question the rollers at JD Engineering as they have years of experience and the proof is in the cars/customers.

I wil lsee what I can provide you, but we're going a bit offtopic here

Simple answer: no



Dammit bro that looks cool. was the cheap mans tt vent worth doing for how long it took?

 

[nd-photo.nl]

Thx man Dont know, havent run empirical tests But its better as the air gets sucked through the SMIC instead of hitting a "wall" (arch vent). Dont know if it makes a big difference, but al little bits help innit.

FMIC ftw though

 

[tseaman20]

Yeah been looking at the FMIC but as its coming to winter over here, and im only thinking of going stage 1 im gonna stick with the SMIC for now. well thats atleast untill i decide i want to go stage 2 before hitting the ring in may next year
