Yeah they are pretty impressive, but think its also down to the 5.86 FD also.. Ah cool, how did you get on at TDI? Are you running a TDI 3" exhaust also?

What engine mods have u done if u don't mind me asking? I want around 270 so less than 20 off myself!
Cheers fella! Sorry to hear about your car, at least youve now got more power than you wanted..
Engine mods are; Tegiwa CAI, Skunk2 70mm TB, RBC ported to 70mm, TDI stage 1 cams, Tegiwa header and TDI 3" cat back and RDX 440cc injectors

Cheers fella. Hows your car coming along? Erm think its about £350? Got these with a fitted & mapped deal
*nub* wrote:lol 270bhp is the highest i've seen with these cams on an EP3. Saw a couple hit 268 but I thought 270 might be possible. I think if you scroll back a few pages I was telling you to stretch to a tegiwa header as i've i've seen the typical japspeed/dc sports prove to be restrictive with these drop in cams... and I think I was probably right. A friend with drop in cams and japspeed header only got 254bhp, all be it without a 3" exhaust but the header was definitely the weak link. I presume it's a 70mm RBC? I wonder if a big Injen CAI would squeeze a few more bhp?
good results anyway, let me know if you want to sell this car
Yeah apparently its not the first, think Paul said he'd seen 274bhp. But again he was running a very short final drive - tricks the dyno as such..
TDI also recommended the Tegiwa/Toda header as they give more top end but less mid range if I remember correctly?
Yeah its a 70mm RBC, i'll leave the Tegiwa on. Enough power as it is, bit of bodywork to be sorted now then I'll probably pull it off the road and keep it as an ornament in the garage lol

I bet it flys now
Haha cheers Lib
Yeah it doesnt hang about now, itching to get it out on the track!
Not much of an update, but passed its MOT and what I thought was pad rattle again turned out to be warped discs grr. So they'll hopefully be skimmed ASAP
Treated it to a valet - joys of having car cleaning stuff packed away!
Also bought some new wheels - been wanting them for the last 9 months however chose to wait until my tyres were nearly dead on the oems. Shout out to Rob @ Area Motorsport for sorting me these out

Looking forward to finally moving into the new place - then it'll be getting a detail as the swirl marks & light scratches are beyond terrible now!
