Hey guys, got a great update for you all on the car now!

 

After running the APR stage 1 map since October 2016 (running circa 390-400bhp), the car was fitted with a Forge intercooler, Milltek downpipe with sports cat and an 034 Motorsport intake by Awesome GTI more recently. As this was stage 2 hardware but only running stage 1 software, APR developed new maps for the RS3 8V, the stage 2 and the stage 2+. The difference between the two is the stage 2+ utilises a high pressure fuel pump, either APR's own or by upgrading the internals of the stock pump.

With APR Stage 1 and the Forge intake and Milltek downpipe and sports cat, the car ran a respectable 408bhp and 448lb-ft.

After the stage 2+ map was uploaded and the hpfp internals upgraded, the car ran 440bhp and 541lb-ft! Best of all, the increase can be felt right through the rev range with a huge increase in the midrange. The car pulls smoother and with more urgency lower down the rev range when off boost which makes driiving around town so much better.

Once again a fantastic service from everyone at Awesome GTI for such a quick turnaround of the car and the rolling road runs.

Ah dude, I need this. Perhaps I should start with the Stage 1 and build up to it.

How does the gearbox like this map? Does it feel comfortable and is there any 'no torque read' file used?

Just go straight to stage 2+ as it's cheaper in the long run

Gearbox feels fine, no gearbox map was used

Very good dyno results.

 

Now we need to see some verified and corrected VBOX logs and drag strip slips to see whether all this extra hardware and dyno torque, results in a quicker car on the black stuff.  We all know that's what counts!

Nice one Irfy

 

keep us all informed how it feels in the next few weeks

541 torques! Car must be proper mental now ...

That's some serious torque! Get it down the strip this may well just take Shaun's crown for the fastest stage 2!

Bit false though cos that 541 lb ft is a very short peak that is not held at all - 500 lb ft is more representative.

Saying that I wouldn't like the gearbox to take a sudden surge in torque like that though.

All goes to show that a package of sensible upgrades makes life so much nicer.

Love those numbers, must be a real weapon mid range, which is where most of us drive.

 

Thanks for sharing - shows the RS3 is great to play with.

Still pulling 350 lbsft at 6500rpms !  Even 500 lbsft is very nice thank you !

Agreed!

We have had some recent Santa Pod sessions with some close results for Litcho & MRC stage 2 tunes. But it would be nice if some of the APR, REVO and maybe some others could also come along so that we can see if these numbers actually stack up on the black stuff (good to meet other owners too).

Maybe someone could even beat Shauns best run.

408 @ stage 2 seems low?! I was running stage 2 mrc, with panel filter, downpipe, decat, intercooler and I made 458bhp / 650nm.. that was without HPFP - with it would of made 750nm

To be fair a custom map will get the best out off your car as every car runs different/mods etc.

Generic maps are a bit off one size fits all thing.

The upgraded HPFP is used to give more fuel at low rpm as the HPFP is moving less fuel so they can map for more torque in that rpm range.

Unless I've misread the 408 was at Stage 1 with some hardware mate. The OP's car did 448bhp Stage 2+ and looks strong from the midrange right to the redline. After 4K it's all about area under the curve.

Of course we can also look to the dyno being different and we don't know the base line stock figures for both cars. Peak figures are a small part of the story.

The 408hp was Stage 1. It's just that soon afterwards Irf had the stage 2 parts fitted but no final stage 2 map.

So when can we see this car on the black stuff? Weather is getting better... Get to Santa Pod!!

[D19NL B]

I repeat, when will we see this car in the black stuff? I know you raced Archie, now we need some data to back that up!
