I have been running a Stage 2 turbo for a quiet a while now and Chipped Ireland and RS Tuning (Leeds) had asked me to spend the day at Paul's (RS Tuning) workshop as they wanted to try some new tuning techniques to get more power out of a Stage 2 Turbo dynamics setup.
I was already running 217 BHP and 340 Lbft, but Paul and Joe wanted to try something new, so who was I to argue.
The aim was to try and approach 230-240 BHP but retain a very smooth map with equal power across the rev range, holding peak power for as long as possible and finally and most importantly keeping the smoke map as low as possible.
They spent hours with the car on the Dyno, trying various bits and bobs which are far to technical for me to understand, so I sat back and watched TV and surfed the net.
The Result on the dyno print out speak for themselves, I was speechless when I first saw the figures, I was more impressed then I ever thought I would be. Performance on the road was awesome for a TDI before hand, now it is just Special. Power is held as requested to 4500 + RPM to suit my driving style and the map is smoother then it was when it was a standard TDI 150. It is effortless accessible performance at any RPM. As for Smoke, again I was more then suprised, I thought that It would be a bit smokey for my liking but no, very little if any on Spool up, nothing on ordinary keeping up with traffic driving, the only smoke appears on full throttle at 4000 RPM + but nothing out of the ordinary for an old generation remapped PD lump. "read more then a standard PD 150, but acceptable for the levels of performance now on offer

This is not an advert, but awesome work should be rewarded so a free plug goes a long way, so if you are looking to go Stage 2 on your TDI I would whole heartedly recommend Paul @ RS Tuning http://www.rstuning.co.uk/ if you are in the UK or if in Ireland give Joe @ Chipped Ireland www.chippedire.com
