Hi, Got my car back from Mid VW today after its 1000 mile checkup following a G60 conversion. They put it on their rollers, it produced 190 BHP - really pleased with that. Here are the plots:- The blue line is before the tune up after putting 1000 miles on it. It was originally fitted with a pitstops chip but this gave very strange idle problems - it would hang on to the revs at about 2K for 10 to 15 seconds after a blast and then the idle would hunt badly - good power though. Jody fitted a Jabba chip instead and it now has a brilliant idle and virtually the same BHP with a small torque reduction - but it feels great on the road and that is what matters !! Looking forward to inters - decided to run the 1/4 mile this year - always chickened out before. I have to say that the guys and gals at Midland VW are brilliant - Top marks for quality and service - cheers Jody
I'll be at Inters too - mine's in for a rolling road tune at Midland VW the day before Inters. It's had a new block put in by Jody recently, after we put a hole in a piston at Santa Pod last month. Inter will be the first 1/4 mile test since the new engine and clutch, so not sure how it'll do! I'll look out for you! Matt.
aren't the PSD chips SNS types? and do weird things like that? great power, plenty fast enough in a mk1 i can tell you.
