Tbh i just dropped car off and disappeared until it was ready. I should really give them a phone to get more details, Im assuming its the latest V3.1 map since its got the flat torque between 3-4k for boost surge..
Im unsure about the flat shift, is there an easy way to tell other than possibly hurting my car if i keep my foot flat between changes to find i dont have it? Lol
If im in gear and accelerating should i be able to dip clutch and it not rev to limiter for example?
Yes 3bar map sensor software, but didnt they have that on the previous maps?
It goes like absolute stink, and the limited boost between 3-4k rpm makes it chaos as it gets full boost at 4k, normally involving a struggle for traction which is fun!
The clutch obviously isn't coping so when Helix...
Well ive got my TSI K04 map now and it has launch control (3k rpm), i havent tried for flat shift yet as im still running standard clutch until Helix arrives start of next week. Standard clutch cant take the power never mind flat shifting!!
Dont Forge do discharge/ throttle pipe kits for S3? I recently bought the kit for Mk6 Golf around £180.. Made a noticeable difference and thats before ive even fitted K04. :)
The TTE 420 compressor outlet could be modified to fit TSI, just like required on a K04 unless you buy a proper kit.
Im building my own kit. Ive modified the K04 to fit the TSI instead of buying an expensive kit out the box!
Fitting K04 to Mk6 Golf involves cutting the silencer off the compressor housing to fit the TSI block anyway, so thatll be long gone. Lol!
The S3 got plastic intercooler to inlet pipe or they upgraded from standard compared to Golf etc? Upgrade just bigger diameter?
We getting wheel pic...
What discharge pipes yous guys been looking at? What negative effect did intercooler-intake pipe have? Ive bought Forge boost pipes to get rid of the pancake pipes (a Golf has), but S3 pipes are tubular standard anyway? Are the upgrades on S3 just bigger diameter?
Dont worry, you dont need to defend your TFSI, we all know theyre great engines and make good power.
The discussion was why we should expect more power from a K04'd TSI.
I think its pretty well documented why the TSI makes more power, theres a more in depth explanation somewhere. 2 things i...
I dont know nothing about the Mk7, or the engine, but ive heard they do good power easily! Not overly keen on them yet, and i couldnt afford one, never mind tune it!
