@@joshstrom2791 hp is about top end, end of the rev range. The torque is acceleration and diesel torque is high. a45 loses drive train hp and once up and running a front or rear drive car running the same hp with be quicker.

155k is barely broken in.
We have tuned 250k cars past that!
Got my vrs standard 97k, within 2 months tuned with larger turbo, darkside decat &darkside frontmount etc & currently on 223 & 428nm and been like that until now 147k!! Reliable as ever running 1.7bar!! Smoke free tune & I service every 4k miles too

I have a 14 octavia vrs and I'm thinking of getting it mapped.. is it risky getting them mapped? Can it harm the car? Or be at risk of blowing if I brought it too 220 230bhp?
They do 210-220 fairly easily without any trouble!
What could be done to a Polo saloon 1.9tdi 90bhp to make it faster but without spending too much money? Thanks
PD150 Turbo, .240 nozzles and a tune!
@@DarksideDevelopments thanks. I'll look into it 👍😁
Why do we go on fly hp when it should be taken from the wheels??
A debate as old as time
Whp changes if you change the tyres so how can you compare 2 different cars?
But wheel hp is the true hp your car is putting on the road right??
@@lukecowell7516 not really. Roads are not perfectly round rollers
How much do you charge for weekend hire?
It's not for hire! Haha
Power without control is pointless are fly wheel figures !
I had fun once, it was awful.. 👆
It's rediculous really. Definately not slor.
I want it.
Mpg -- 😂😂😂 love it
Show us how to tune a stage 1 for 1.9tdi using vagedc from scratch..
That's not going to happen I'm afraid!
HOLY SHIT!!!!!!! :O
I was wondering what power pd150 head bolts are good for as I'm building a golf mk4 pd150 to 300bhp with all your parts
PD150 head bolts can take around 300HP if cylinder pressures are managed properly in tuning.
Depends a lot on use.... 300HP properly tuned that you commute in daily with a few street pulls? No sweat. Try race it and you'll end up with a repair cost thats MUCH higher than the cost to throw some decent brand headstuds in it preemptively, its fairly cheap insurance all things considered.
How much is it to have that spec engine. Got a vrs from new and just hit 113k totally standard. But always been told to get a stage 1 recap. Getting itchy fingers👍👍
It's about £11,000 not including shipping
What’s the most millage anyone has seen On a pd engine?
I'm sure they have done 1,000,000. We have tuned with 300k+
@@DarksideDevelopments that’s impressive I’m collecting one tomorrow with 169k on the clock always wanted the fabia vrs I had the 105bhp fabia and had that mapped to around 130 and that was a lot of fun for what is what so I’m sure I will have plenty of smiles on my face 😀 thank you for your reply keep up the good work and content 👊🏻
