VR6Rich 3 Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 How long did it take? £70 sounds like a bargain m8! :-) Link to post Share on other sites

mark@vagworx 0 Posted October 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 Here's a piccy of the install, just about finished.She was on the rollers for 45mins. The guy did a superb job.I've already got the Dastek reprogrammable ECU, which helped a hell of a lot! Hence why the price was just for the rolling road session.Pete.....it's drives really nicely at low speeds to be honest.The charger really comes in hard at 4k.....serious grin factor!I'll take you for a spin Sunday Link to post Share on other sites

Nerih 0 Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 crikey, that is LOADS of power, do you standard transmission? Link to post Share on other sites
mightyvr6 0 Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 That's a great result, you must be well pleased with the figures. FI transforms the performance in the upper rev band. Be interesting to see what it does at Stealth. Link to post Share on other sites
Eat this 2 Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 would i be right in assumin its pretty standerd till 4k ie reasonable mpg?? then the world gets blurry? Link to post Share on other sites
mark@vagworx 0 Posted October 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 Perhaps i should charge for rides on Sunday Yeah, i'm really pleased with it. Just saving up some cash now for the next tank of Optimax!! Link to post Share on other sites
mark@vagworx 0 Posted October 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 would i be right in assumin its pretty standerd till 4k ie reasonable mpg?? then the world gets blurry?Sort of. My car's always been quite lively low down because of the Schrick and the Cams......although all hell breaks lose at 4k.I've been giving it some this afternoon and she was still returning 25mpg Link to post Share on other sites
mightyvr6 0 Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 economy is reasonable as the charger isn't producing much boost under 4k and you can still get 32 mpg cruising on the motorway. Use the revs though and you'll be seeing low 20s at best. Link to post Share on other sites
