Rolling Road Day at QST

The other side of it is my old S3 spent a day(!) on the rollers with the fuse pulled when Peter Link mapped the car,with no adverse affects.....this is the procedure MTM use themselves in Germany,its not something Kim came up with himself and decieded to give it a go.
I'd find it hard to believe that a German tuner operating under the strict TUV guidelines and procedures that they have,would advocate such a procedure if there was any element of risk involved,they are an ultra cautious,conservative shower after all.

Hi guys,

I am not interested in running with the fuse for the haldex pulled either.

If Kim changes his mind then I would still like to run.

Cheers

There is a world of difference between MkI and MkII Haldex. Mk I is open loop and completely unpredictable - ie you can drive the same corner in exactly the same way and get two entirely different results. With a Haldex controller ther is much less to worry about when it comes to putting cars on dynos.

I didn't know there was a MkI and a MkII.....? Unless you mean (as the rest of your post sort of suggests) that fitting the aftermarket controller makes it a MkII?

OK spoke to Kim this morning.

He is happy to run Haldex cars in 4WD or 2WD whichever the owner would prefer.

Still on for this Saturday, can you all re-confirm so I can get the final numbers.

Refreshments and Mince pies available from 9AM.

If you have a preferance for a time let me know as well.

Cheers

I`m still up for it

I`ve just fitted a Dahlback inlet manifold and should be nice to see some power increase

Dahlback say 30bhp on a 300bhp 1.8t motor

So I recon 10-15 at most Which should push it over the 300 mark.

The problem I find is that as I increase the boost nearer to 2bar the torque goes up 340lbs but the power goes down.
