There was a small discrepancy with this edit where on the 2nd and 3rd run the dyno graphs were inserted the wrong way round :( The figures shown on-screen are true and accurate just the dyno graph from run 2 belongs behind run 3 and vice versa.

Now these are the sort of vids we all want to see, especially when there’s the view from the rear to catch the flames!
If my cupra isn’t close to how fun that looks I want another 1.8t 🌚

Your Cupra will be mega ;-)

Hey, what hybrid turbo is it running?

[@leonardoballerini2133]

What’s turbo pressure for 312bhp?

[@actuning]

From memory around 1.3 bar at the red line

[@leonardoballerini2133]

@@actuning red line? I have the same setup without the forged rods ( torque under control ) and I go with 1,5 bar and 100 octanes…I would want an idea of power of my car

[@actuning]

@@leonardoballerini2133 yes, so it will make 1.5/1.6 bar peak then tail off to around 1.3 bar at the red line.
I would get it on a dyno ;-)

@@actuning I have 1,5bar from 3300 to 5000rpm and then 1.4-1.45bar until limiter…tasted with VAGCOM.
Yes, I will do it!!!

S3 is quattro wtf

Unplug the haldex and they become FWD 😉

@@actuning can you make an s3 only rear wheel drive ?

[@actuning]

@@robertlouiscoman3308 As far as I know the only way to do this would be a haldex controller

[@Mikelectric]

@@actuning and cook the haldex clutch while your at it!

[@actuning]

@@Mikelectric it would definitely be there first. We have tuned hundreds of haldex cars this way, as have many other tuners and never had any issues.
