Well guys,thursday just gone had this lot to fit/change
engine oil/filter,
gearbox oil change,old stuff 36,000 miles
then onto changing the cts turbo discharge pipe and neuspeed power pulley
suprised on the weight saving on this pulley
then onto the fiddley high flow intercooler pipe
after all that didnt have time to do the engine oil as it was getting late so done the oil change on friday afternoon,phew
car feels and pulls alot stronger low to mid range as i found out on the RR at awesome gti but was expecting some big numbers really

true m8 with the dyno,i do like the kick in the back like crafoo said
need to sort the torque steer out though lol,will be going down to aks tuning in april to have the arbs fitted,adjustable ball joints,anti lift kit then possibly......coilovers
True, figures were consistent. Just with other stage 2+ cars on different roller making 370-380 makes you wonder what they would make Awesomes rollers.
Don't APR quote 330-340 for stage 2, so your hitting the low end of the stage 2 figures with stage 1 and an intake.

When you get all that fitted I'll be very interest to see what you think because they are the same handling mods I'm going for after I get BCS downpipe and stage 2 software sorted.
must agree with the dyno results m8,mine at 357 compared to some cars on here running 380+ is quite alot like
will let you know how i get on kev
Are the Neuspeed pulleys a good upgrade on the 2.0T engines?
Remember they weren't very well recomened for the 1.8T 20V lumps. Always wanted one but the picture in Badger5 section always put me off. Lol

well guys,
had a nice chat with evan @ Apr today and he's put my mind at ease
Hi Simon,
The modifications you've made are not performance increasers, or at least not ones that you would expect any more than 5 cumulative horsepower from. They help the engine run more efficiently and none of them would require anything in the map to be changed, since all of the air flowing through them is metered, and the pulley kit goal is to allow your engine to rev more freely. Further, Awesome recently had their rollers recalibrated so it's definitely not the same as you ran before.
There are too many variables in the dyno lottery this time to be overly concerned with the performance difference

Defo worth changing them more than once a year hahaha!!!
