After deliberating about doing an incremental approach to tuning the car I decided as I am located a few hours from Sydney that I would go straight to a stage 2 build. I decided to work with Trent from etuners as he has worked with a lot of Audi's and was just a hugely passionate frother of a guy. I always feel those who simply love what they do, do the best job.
We opted for water meth instead of going the intercooler route with one of their Downpipes and mid pipe. We finished off with a beautiful eventuri intake. This setup will also work superbly when I step up to a TTE625 as the results of the wmi to reduce intake temps were incredible on the dyno. We measured 8 degrees lower than ambient after 12 dyno runs refining the tune. The TCU firmware was updated with a etuner custom race DSG file.
I was certainly super happy with the results especially as we were having trouble keeping the car from spinning on the dyno. 3 of the runs hit peaks of 290+wkw but we settled for 277wkw with a huge 110kw gain in the midrange as well as a huge Nm gain.
After going for a little test to check things out I was FROTHING it had transformed the car and the pull through from 3000rpm all the way until it pinged off the rev limiter. The shifting was also incredible and that was something that was giving me the shits on the standard car.
Drive home was spirited, and I couldn’t wait to get to me secret spot and test it out with Dragy. OMG what an animal I literally couldn’t keep the thing from spinning and it really affected my 60ft and 330 compared to my standard car (we had increased launch rpm to 4200) I think with the huge increase in torque that I may try reducing to 3500-3600 when I get to Sydney to test on the strip. I was shocked seeing the results with a best run of 11.49 at 119.08mph and 4 x 11.6 with the best 119.69mph incredible.
All in all, a transformation of the car and with a little pressure out of the tires and a smooth piece of tarmac a 11.3 could be on the cards.
