I have been reading the forum for quite some time, so first of all let me thank you all for the incredible amount of useful information that is available here.
My car is 1995 RS2 with 168k km in the clock, overall pretty good condition. For a year and a half now I have tried to make it as close to orginal condition as possible. She is completely stock, apart from a VDO pressure gauge installed in the dash.
Here are some pictures with the winter wheels on:
There are some more, if anyone is interested: http://indafoto.hu/bogreg/alap_album
There are still a few things to solve however. I have taken the car for remapping and also to check how it performs on a dyno.
This is what we got:
What do you think?
First about the stock (pink) performance. It seems to have quite accuratly met stock power levels. What I find a bit strange however is the torque curve starting to climb so late. Audi claims some 400+ Nm from 2800...well, mine seems to have produced the same levels, but a 1000 rpm later. But checking dyno results of others I can see many similar curves. (Although it is difficult to find a stock one here...) Is this how it should be or is it that my turbo has got "lazier" in 15 years? (No fumes, no play in the axle, seems to be OK, but who knows)
And the mapping? We have had some difficulties in programming the boost chip, maybe this is why it drops to stock 1? bar at the end of the curve. The smaller loss in power at low rpms is not nice, but it could be the result of higher air (intake) temperatures after 2 hours of dyno mapping. (The first run was with the stock chip)
I have the same problem here: I am basically satisfied with this power, but I'd prefer a an earlier climb and probably a higher top end as well. What do you think? Am I expecting too much of an old K24 7200 or could it be improved without replacing too many parts?
