Finally got my car down to AmD yesterday to have the stage II fitted. A remap and milltek cat back exhaust. The car had a small hiccup on the way as its battery went flat when the guys were uploading the new code (!) But every credit to them, they removed the ECU, which is not an easy task, and put the code in - probably taking them an hour or longer than if my car had behaved itself.

The exhaust fitting took about 30 mins or so, AmD's attention to detail fitting the exhaust was superb.

In fact, I (& my girlfriend who came too) were really impressed with their professionalism and how friendly they all were. Full credit to AmD I'd certainly take my car there again and recommend without hesitation.

Torque

BHP

The car is as transformed as these graphs suggest, with a subtle exhaust note. Couldn't sleep this morning as I need to take the car out again - right now![][][]

And a couple of pictures

That's some serious torque there mate! Is it Nm or Lbs/ft? if it's the latter that equates to 444Nm!!!

 

[dubbers]

Royster, it's lb/ft as far as I know - which is a serious upgrade on the stock figure(+80)! I guess thats from the way I drive the car, which is pretty much always on the motorway in 6th at about 3000rpm.

The peak at 3100rpm in 6th is quite astounding! It accelerates like a scared rabbit!

Some impressive figures....i'm very tempted!

What figures does an AMD remap alone give?

 

[sir_blates]

Now we're Torquin! [][]

 

[CHR15]

cool, i bet that doesnt hang about.

do you have the normal pub bs figures?

 

[RS2002]

Nice torque!

 

[CHR15]

you got the 0-60 times etc?

 

[Gti Fly]

OOoo I bet that's Sh?T quick now!!

 

[vedhead]

Looks great mate. Looks like an S3 is the logical/affordable move up for us GTI owners!

 

[dubbers]

I'm not sure what the 0-60 or 60-100 would be in reality but putting in the weight of the car, 1465kg into http://www.letstorquebhp.com/calculate.asp it works out as 5.25s (0-60mph) and 8.9s (60-100mph). Not sure how close these figures are to real life, but it's an indication at least.

Very nice indeed, now Sem knows what his next mod(s) should be!!

 

[cage]

273.6bhp and I thought the 262bhp that APR & REVO produce was powerful. Extra 11bhp from an exhaust.

Was there some sort of audi meet on at AMD on Saturday? I was driving on the M40 past the Bicester junction and I saw a number of Audis in various modified guises coming on at junction 9. Some very nice looking cars indeed!!

 

[dubbers]

Chris, audi-sport.net had a rolling road day on saturday - Somehow AmD managed to work on my car, while they were doing 15+ RR's! Somenice cars like a 310ps sportec MkIV golf, a dozen S3's and a very nice RS4 avant....

 

[ANDYTQ]

And a stealthy A3 quattro [],nice torque by the way on yours,Cheers Andy

 

[ianhg]

cant wait to get my s3 and then miltek/chip it

 

[Deadlock]

Nice mate !

 

[jubbly]

You should have gone for the turbo back exhaust mate, with the S3's twin cats they make loads more power so milltek say anyway!! []
