| Sorry, its not VAG but quite interesting....
Just put a dunnell 2.0 zetec together and dropped it into my 600kg track car.
took it to some magicians in Hawarden who fitted a DTA ecu and remapped it for me.
power was a lot more than I was expecting - 198 bhp at the wheels - 240 bhp at the flywheel!
The car is phenominal now and I am very happy - just gotta get me down to Ty Croes I think! |

they do love their DTA's but they know them inside out. Adrian was explaining to me what he had done to map my car and the detail he programmed in for light throttle/heavy throttle/hot/cold etc was amazing and he changed my injection from batch to semi sequential which helps economy a bit.
the car is phenominally quick now, 400bhp/tonne, the only car i've been in thats quicker is a mate's supercharge atom...and that thing is plain stupid  |

feels phenominal on the road, should be sub 4 secs 0-60.
having said that, i wish i'd never been in a supercharged atom now cos it'll never be that fast - those things are absolutely brutal, impossible to drive flat out on the road and they brake/handle like nothing else i've been in.
