Yeah thats pretty good.. generally it is around that for most stage 1 tunes, it will be a few KW difference but I think it has more to do with the dyno than the car.
Best bang for buck, a stage 2 & 3 you wont get the same level of uplift.

Yup, pretty happy with that as a starting point - to my mind that's how it should have come from the factory.Originally Posted by SilvrFoxX
There wasn't a Stage 3 R there today that I know of, but a Stage 3 S3 pulled 255kW at the wheels which is the benchmark we are now aiming for with my car.
Anyway, the dyno graph:

Did you get torque figures, I have mine but they are combined so it is nearly 500nm which is a tad confusing

Test drove a Golf R yesterday...
Guys - are there any specifics to look for?

look for the dotted line to sign on
If it's a DSG check the shifts are all nice and smooth and no jerky stop/starts (although you may have to get use to it since it's not like a normal auto) but there's been no problems with the R that I've heard of.

Only if it is CW make sure it is an R and you didn't take a fridge for a test drive :p
Other than that your cheque book

Thanks for the quick reply guys. Yep - I'm after a used R or demo/near new. Can't stretch the budget for a full new with a few options I'd like...
I know the DSG box is laggy from a red light stop as I'm currently driving an Audi a1 with dsg and my partner has a 12' polo gti.
Car I drove seemed ok. No issues/warning lights popped up so I guess that's a good start!
If I can find the right one, I'd love for it to be in rising blue!

Fridges are cool.
