Not sure if I like that mod Mike! :( Looks good on the LCR's but......i dunno! :(

Fair shout for trying something different though! :)

I like it mike - back to work in the morning :(

not a fan either mike!!

Some mixed opinion. I guess the facelift bumper looks better with the recess in black as it more shaped to the bumper (if you get what I mean). We shall see. I would really like a number plate like this...

JKM RR day, SCN vs BRISKODA

Ran at the JKM RR day this AM! Well chuffed, got a best run of 211.8bhp! :funk:
Filled the car with Shell V-Power unleaded the last couple of tanks.... don't know if this made all the difference?!

Get the graph up :p

Only got a print-out and its in the car tucked up for the night! Might be able to scan it tomorrow! The BHP line had a bit of a dip in it when the car hits peak boost. Looks like it holding back a bit when it requests too much boost. Does that make any sense?

Here is a crappy phone pic to keep you going until then....

Every rolling road is mega different I've found! When I had my Ibiza, I had 30bhp difference between 2 rolling road readouts. One was with Forge FMIC and the next with Seat Sport FMIC. So either the Seat Sport intercooler made 30bhp difference or it was the typical rolling road lottery.

You say your car is "requesting too much boost?"

I think VPower is welll worth it when remapped on these, I notice a big difference in how 'lively' the car feels if I run 95RON cr@p in mine.

To be fair, I have only run it for the RR day! Bit cheeky I know. Might carry on though...

Oh, I know all about the dyno lottery! :D Last time I was at JKM, I ran 199.somethingbhp. It was a bit cooler yesterday and I was using super-unleaded! Might account for 12bhp?

The bloke at JKM doing the dyno said something about it. The graph has a slight dip in it! He asked if I was running the standard N75 valve and he didn't seem to concerned about it. The fuelling was fine during the runs too.

Might have to post the graph up for an opinion from the SCN faithful.

Lets see thegraph then, Mike. If you had a high flow down pipe theres a good chance that the 'dip' would be errased due to higher flow..

I do have a boost gauge. Boosting to about 18 or 19psi I think. (Its a bit hard to read when driving and looking at the road!)

I wish I could, but just can't justify the cost at the mo.

Just uploading graphs....
