Not an S3 but same engine
Posted: Sun Aug 03, 2008 1:15 pm
Here's my new car (some people on here have seen it in the flesh already):

03/2007 mk5 Golf GTI Edition 30, same engine as the S3 TFSI, detuned to 230 BHP vs 265 on the S3.
Mods:
-Bilstein PSS10
-S3 FMIC (bolt on cheap upgrade, worth at least 10 to 15 BHP)
-full Milltek exhaust system with 3" downpipe and no cats (special order)

up until a week ago the car was running 345 BHP on the aforementioned setup+remap and it was pretty sweet, then I decided to go a few sizes up on the turbo, because there are a few good solutions for these engines out there already, so I went for a GT3071R turbo and full kit.



After spending quite a bit of time swapping the injectors and fuel pump for uprated units (BIG THANKS to Chris and David for their help!!!!) and then more time refining the maps for this kit, the verdict of the dyno came this afternoon, and it hit me as a hammer, as I wasn't really expecting that much:

Now I only need a stronger clutch and maybe a limited slip diff and this should be a great trackday car.
