Thanks jake much appreciated

Mapping now changed to tuesday for tdi North.. Excited

Decat manifold and 3inch exhaust fitted today along with skunk2 inlet manifold ready now for tdi






Clean up of engine bay tomorrow and a much needed bath

Do you think you really need a 3" exhaust?

Had the map tweeked at tdi yesterday. Made 244bhp and 176ftlbs. Slight blow from manifold/centrepipe and manifold holding back a few bhp at peak. Pretty happy with that. Car drives really well. Mid range is nuts and pulls much better. Tdi North mentioned that after the manifold its best to get the exhaust gasses to escape as quick as possible and bigger exhaust can be better at doing that.
