Pies:

Power at Flywheel (measured): 168.1 Bhp
Power at Wheels: 125.7 Bhp

Max Torque speed 3149 rpm (61mph in gear used)
Max Engine Torque: 203.5 lb ft

Max road speed reached in test: 116 mph

They said they got exactly 170 bhp by the end. Are these Ok for a S then?


Did they give you any "before" figures so that you could rate the improvement ?

Feels a lot smoother following the last lot of work, and there may be the odd extra horse, but not much...???

When we finally get enough fuel into the engine things could get interesting....!

Yippee! Am taking my S3 to Austec this Saturday for the £250 6k service and rolling road and MOT. Based on your experience page3, I'm thoroughly looking forward to seeing what the get out of the old girl.

I don't have any particular grumbles with the car at all, so fingers crossed they don't find anything wrong.
