I'm hopefully getting a rolling road done this weekend to see what its actually putting out.

You'll be plesantly surprised with the performance against hot hatches, i had a Golf GTI before this car and couldn't really lose my mate in a A3 TDi with 170 BHP. Wasn't until speeds got a bit silly before i was pulling away on him. The huge amounts of torque makes it close.

I'd really like to get a remap done before however I doubt that will happen for a few months!

Even better, you get to do a before and after the remap and really see how much difference it makes to acceleration and times.

Please dont think this is 335d only, I was hoping just a mini meet with some banter and getting to see how the cars perform.

Well I've made my enquires to P-Torque and got my budget in mind for the remap later this year.

Would be good to have a time to beat once the remap has been done!
