MRC STAGE 2 REMAP
MRC STAGE 2 REMAP
took a trip to MRC TUNING on friday to have a health check and custom map.
first the car was checked for any fault codes, came up clear
a pressure test was done, again all good
went out for a run to get the standard power, which was 211bhp
then we went on a second run while the car was been mapped.
result was 260bhp and a HUGE GRIN!!!
massive differance in pulling power when the car comes on boost it feels like a totally diferent car.
100% recomended to anybody.
Cheers Doug

Mine is a stage 1 APR then.
Once you get used to the extra power, try Tesco 99RON for a tank and let me know if you think its any better.

If your nearest one is a drive out the way, then maybe you could consider octane booster.

I can tell the difference going from Shell Optimax to Tesco 99, but this is only the arse dyno and may be influenced by me filling her up

Not sure about power, but with the Tesco 99 I find it a lot more responsive.

I've always run mine on optimax/v power.
I've got the Stage 2 MRC map.

Revo > MRC

Re: RE: MRC STAGE 2 REMAP
Revo might feel faster, but they always seem to have a tendancy to spike quite high, then tail off far too early. There was a 1.8t car on the roller when I was there that was Revo'd - I saw the before (revo) and after (MRC) plots - big difference in power delivery.posterboyj wrote:Revo > MRC
Oh, and 99 RON fuel does make a difference - you will need to run a couple of tanks though for the car to adapt properly.
RE: Re: RE: MRC STAGE 2 REMAP
Nige, from what i have heard it is very difficult to get good power read outs from the s3's due the Haldex system interfering. Not that i am fighting any corners as i have a revo on mine and like the chaps at mrc. lol.

I think what Nige is referring to is the actual shape of the power/torque curves as those would have been comparable on the same dyno, rather than the headline figures.
