i have pants headphones in work but was it pinging on the first two runs???


was that power @ wheels?
seems spot on for a stock aussie motor

[benough]

Yeah it was. I advanced the dizzy a touch to get a bit more power but on the dyno it pinged so I wound it back again.

Yeah that's at the wheels.

Mind you it has the MK3 twin exhaust manifold and downpipe, high-flow cat and the airbox silencer removed with a K&N

On the pinging issue. If the timing is a touch advanced can you eradicate the pinging with some octane booster?

[velly_16v_cab]

sometimes, was you running optimax?

but 8v's generaly run a max of 6 degs of advance.

[benough]

Well I always run BP ultimate. Does Optimax give a higher octane count generally?

By octane booster I meant the additive you can buy at the servo

Yeah right. Will get my hands on a gun and do it proper.

[Spyda]

It sounds prity good man. Dont use octain booster, if anything itll make you loose power.

dman i thought the GTI has more KW at the wheels than that
