Golf R performance upgrade NEED ADVICE!!!

[anleizhang]

I would suggest Pump and Tune if you only want to do two things. Reason being the car will still sound nice and quiet but go like a rocket

I have the VWR intake and a Full Exhaust and it is quite loud from both ends of the car.

One other thing to consider is an Intercooler upgrade, this will help with the heat factor and minimize the ECU sucking precious power away when intake temps get a bit high.

Sounds something I would like to have at this stage.

will save the CAI and exhaust change for the later. Do you suggest the rail valve needs to be changed at the same time with the HPFP?

CHeerS!

One of my mates on this forum had his R tuned at Miranda a few years back. Best money he ever spent according to him. He trekked all the way from The Hills to get it done. You would only have to drive 5km.

PM me for details as I don't wish to start a "my tunes better than your tune" peeing contest.

He is an assclown but you are right about everything else

If you can cough up the extra cash you should do it. The rail valve sets the highest pressure in the fuel rail before its bypassed so by upgrading it you can consistently run more pressure and more power!

I would also go that route as a start if I had the cash

Not meaning to hijack the thread. But I would like to hear your opinions on what's the best fitting catted/resonated downpipe available these days?

We have quite a few customers making well in excess of 220kw's at the wheels on mainline dyno's all around the country.

Hope that helps.

Umm got a link to 1 of them ???

This ones from Adelaide - at a VW Dyno day with a bunch of attendee's (I think run from a forum) - It's a Mainline dyno if thats ok?

Thats wonderful...........apart from the excessive ramp rate used which doesn't load the car up properly. Fine for a big turbo car though but not our ones

[parso_rex]

See if it was like this one from last week (almost complete here) then it would be more realistic.


See 225 is pretty much beyond the realms of possibility with the turbo unless you are doing things to improve the efficiency of the whole package the turbo is maxed out absolutley as we can see here

With a 98RON WMI K04 car - also from last week, optimised timing and boost mapping so there is just nothing left in the top end.
Thats real

Not our dyno, so no idea - as mentioned, it was a VW / Audi dyno day from Adelaide - that's several thousand km's away from us. Are you saying that a Mainline operator can fudge figures?

So that's a race car with WMI injection? We are talking about street legal cars I thought (based on the original poster) that run 98 ron & have legal injection & emission systems. If the Mainlines can be fudged as you imply above - how do we know about the ones you show?
