Hello from the UK

Hi guys, just wanted to say a hello from the UK. Its like breath off fresh air to find a forum like this as most TT owners in the UK do not want to mod their cars. A few people have an exhaust and air filter but that is about it.

I have recently picked up a silver X50 with full aerokit and carbon interior and absolutely love it but I have been inspired by some of your vcars running 19s and PSS9 etc so these will be the first mods

Keep up the good work guys.

David.

Lee, what sort of boost is your stage IV running now? Just how much difference has it made and power do you think you are running?

Where in the UK are you?

David.

Dave,
Most of the time the boost peaks and maintains at 1.1bar but sometimes 1.3bar. It only seems to peak at 1.3 bar when im up high.(not sure if height has anything to do with peak boost)
The package ive got claims around 600hp. Whether or not it would make that on a uk dyno i dont know, but the difference is amazing regardless and im happy with what its producing so am not worried if the hp is completely accurate. It cant be far off thats for sure.
Im in caterham, surrey.

Dave, welcome. Since you went with the X-50 you have a better starting point with the K-24 turbos and GT2 intercoolers. Since starting there, just an ECU flash and an exhaust change and you will be over 500hp!!!

Enjoy!
