Right, so I took the BiTurbo to JD Engineering on Wednesday morning.
On the Dyno car was 336BHP and 656Nm torque
Now is 409BHP and 824Nm!!!
The difference is noticable in a couple of ways.
1. It goes like absolute stink - no kidding.
2. Fuel consumption on gentle driving must be 10% improved or even better than that.
You still need to 'drive' the car, Sports mode and down a gear as well, revs need to be 2000 to 4500, but I think that was true before.
As discussed previously I visited 'Germany' on the way back and on the A303 Strasse in Wiltshirestag, I found that much speed could be obtained!
Either way I'm much much happier with it now, I've not needed any kick down because there is just so much shove, you get that real turbo kick in the back. It's obviously early days, so I'll see how things progress.
Speaking with the really nice people there (as the whole process took 3 hours plus), all engines are de-tuned for clean burn nowadays and they are really really busy, whilst I was there a chap came in with a 1.2 TFSI A3 only 4 months old to get it chipped, he went away with a smile on his face, said the throttle response was much better. A dealer came in with an un-registered Octavia 'Greenline' to get that done before the customer took it away, not so green anymore?
They like the BiTurbo engine, the 1.4 TFSI petrol breaks alot - injectors, timing chain, and I guess the same might be true of the 1.2. They like the 2.0 177PS Diesel, but it does need to be 'fixed'.
One other thing, on the BiTurbo, the Engine CPU is under the black cover that goes along the top of the engine bay just below the windscreen - they reckon it's a bad place as water runs from the screen and soaks the CPU! Mine (already slightly corroded) is now sporting clear plastic to protect it. To remove cover just pull off the rubber strip and gently lift out black cover, CPU is obvious on the left.
