Not sure who else do GIAC. There is a car getting done at Star this weekend I understand and an Ed30 getting done there again next Monday. I know the lad with the Ed30 so hoping to get a look at the print off to see how its done.
Certainly from the people I have spoken to, it is likely the rev limit is raised a bit to achieve the power. Higher power is going to need higher boost, more air and more fuel. The limiting factor on the Ed30/Cupra/S3 is the fuel, and more boost will equal more heat. There have been stories on so many forums about TFSi engines and fuel cuts, engines running lean etc especially in America, and GIAC is of course an American company. Hopefully the code for the S3/Cupra/Ed30 is done with UK/Eurpoean considerations in mind and the UK/European cars will be fine - I am sure they will be as it would be foolish for the likes of GIAC to put out an untested/poor remap.
It will be interesting to see how well the hammer map is done, and even better to see the wheel horsepower rather than the calculated fly horsepower. It will be good to see air/fuel and boost/temperature logs too.
With regard to power figures, my last car made 249 fly bhp but only 197 wheel bhp. On another rolling road, my stock
MK2 Leon made 257 fly bhp and 220 wheel horsepower. Dyno lottery will be an issue until two identical cars with identical mods, but with different maps go on the same rolling road on the same day one after another.
To be honest, I think that the hammer map will do what it says on the tin, but I am not sure that I would be wanting to run that power permanently with no other modifications like a bigger intercooler, better air intake and a free flowing exhaust system.
For sure, it is likely the GIAC cars will be the fastest TFSi K04 Turbo cars out there
