I spoke to Peter the other day, and he has done one Golf R already, and quoted me the same figures from the S3 tune linked above.
Will be going ahead with this after easter some time.

Ok, so i picked up my Golf R today after getting the Evolve-Technik tune done.
First impressions were very impressive, with a noticable increase in torque and some huge increases in power from about 3500 rpm onwards. Certainly makes the car a lot more responsive.
Will give some more feedback after i've spent some more time driving it.

Great to hear you are happy with it Glenn.
Looking forward to your further reviews.

It's made the car pretty brutal actually. Minor downside is that extra power now means that the DSG in D mode is not as smooth as you are feeling the changes each time. S mode is awesome.Originally Posted by Fab_R
Stock power gives a sense of control into and out of corners as the AWD and power keeps the whole thing stuck to the road, but i'm actually going to have be a bit careful (at least in the wet) that i don't put the foot down too early and come unstuck, as the extra power comes on with quite a rush.
I had the car dyno'd afterwards, but didn't get a chance to do the stock dyno, so the results aren't really useful for comparison purposes. The curves themselves are quite good with a flattish torque curve and 300+ N.m available from 3600 RPM onwards. Basically, the claimed increases in power output appear to be accurate and makes this tune up there with the other major players for power.

Hi Glenn
Any chance you can post up the AFR's, boost, and power curve(no numbers needed) from that dyno run?
Cheers Paul
