    There were an abundance of R's and a few S3's there yesterday. MACCAA (who posted previous to you) were probably the closest in the power/torque figures - i understand he has the stock exhaust but has a fuel pump upgrade - therefore making his APR tuned car a Stage1+.

    Many other stage 1 Golf R's and S3's were around the 180-185kw mark, some were dead stock except for a stage 1 tune, some had the same intake as mine etc. I might have been the only one there with a stage 1 tune but with "stage 2" modifications?

    Regardless, i didnt mean to start a tune war or anything like that, i simply wanted to let people know that DNA can and have provided a good strong tune for the Golf R / Audi S3 engine.
    Such a strong result.

    I'm gunna do the dp soon-ish and wouldn't mind running ours side by side if your keen?

    Should have similar mods, just different brands.

    Good result on your car too,not having a go,don't care what tunes people are running.
    I think you could put identical mods on six cars and get six different results!
    Good day out with a good bunch of people.

    Hi Len. Good to chat to you yesterday. Yes we ended up with quite similar results - just achieved differently. If i remember correctly, your exhaust is untouched, but you have the upgraded HPFP.

    Sure Andrew - why not. Would be good to see if theres any difference on the road. I was hoping you (or another Viezu tuned car) would come along yesterday. But apart from Christina's R32, there were no Viezu tuned cars.
