In a bid to maximise power and torque, as well as increase the every-day useability of Tank, he was taken to Awesome in Irlam, Manchester today for a spot of rolling road treatment and custom mapping.
I'll do a full write-up of the day later, but for now, suffice it to say that they have managed to increase overall power by over 6% and the torque figure by 1.2%.
The torque figure seems small and indeed it is, but the important thing is that the spread of torque is now over a much wider range, with peak torque starting at 1400rpm and being held above 90% of this figure until about 2300rpm.
This compares with the previous remap which developed peak torque at the same 1400rpm, but this went below 90% by about 1800rpm!
Indeed, at some points in the range, there is a difference of 35Nm between the old CCCTech map and the Awesome custom one, which increases to over 50Nm compared to the original factory settings!
So, the most powerful A2 in the UK just got better!
Overall, I am absolutely delighted with the results and the Awesome experience. I will shortly post details of their services and prices for members of the A2 Owners Club, but be assured that for anyone in the North, Awesome can really benefit you and your car.
Don't think that I am pulling a fast one on Vince and the gang at Stealth Racing either - I've already spoken to them and they're happy that folks north of Manchester would probably not make the trip to Southam anyway, so it's not robbing them of any trade.
For more details until I can get a fuller post up, see www.awesome-gti.co.uk
Cheers,
Mike
