Hurdy

Another one here not convinced by the Golf 8 shape and the speculative outputs of the 8R. Glad I bought my 7.5R when I did.....before the petrol particulate filter came in and after the DQ250 left the car. even if they said it was 400bhp out of the tin I’d still keep the 500+bhp one I have now. 😎🎉🕺🏻🥳

19x8.5” TDPR 1.3’s ET45 with 5mm rear spacers. Yes, these V5 turbos romp on power wise.

Mine will be approx 540bhp. I will be up in Northumberland on the 13th. It will be for road use with maybe 3-4 trackdays a year.

That is a Turbo Technics V5 Turbo. 600+bhp capable.😎

I am currently in the middle of remote tuning with them. They sent over a MAGIC X17 slave box for me to download the maps directly onto the car from files they send to my PC. I then log it for fuelling via VCDS on the road and then we move on from there. It is a custom mapping process. I am really enjoying this process as it is ages since I was fully involved in tuning a car. We started off on a base file with very little timing advance and boost set at a standard low level for accurate calibration of the 4 bar map sensor. We then moved on from there once the VCDS fuelling logs are done and confirmed as okay, just so we know that the engine and hardware is all okay. I am currently on a second file, which has more timing and boost. The “full fat” file is next week and that should make around 540bhp. Once this map is on we will dyno it and then we can tweak it to my hardware to push it if I want to chase a few figures.😎👍

PS....also swapped tuners. Now Stage 3 tuning with Underground Performance (UGP). 😎 Not quite as mad a tune as the ETuners file, but smoother.

Professional photo shoot session yesterday. Took a few snaps myself whilst there. Here are a few. 😎

You should see both better times and terminals from yours once the DSG slip is sorted. 124-126mph and low 11’s and maybe a high ten with a good 60’ time. 😎👍

I’ll be very interested to see what times you get at the Pod as I’m running very similar power/torque. 😎

It doesn’t look like this thread has been posted in for a while. Let’s resurrect it with a few dragy runs. Here is my first ever dragy run on the stage 3 in my 7.5R DSG. This is a base map and so will be much quicker once finished. 😎

Definitely 😎

Ultraleggeras on. Much better feel than the 19’s😎
