10 miles?! Is that all Rich... you need to get out more!

So have you put the performance controller back on? Can't imagine you've gone back to standard!

HaHa Matt, yes I'm hoping for a DRY day for kk meet and forthcoming shows etc?

I've gone back to the standard haldex for now but I am considering the sport haldex (again) as it suits my mapping and general driving. I have decided to take the R to a near concours standard so it would be pointless me keeping the comp haldex as it would never be used to its full capacity.....

Here's some useful info as per quoted by Dave @ TTS

1) The Competition controllers (or 'Race') are not orange from the factory, there is a distributor in the USA that colours them for there own purposes. When they come from Haldex, they are either silver (standard and great for a stealthy install) or blue as per the HPP (sometimes called 'Sport') The batches often vary when we get them.

2) TTS Roadsport / The TT Shop are the sole UK importer and distributors and we supply other UK tuners with this unit. We supply the GEN1 controllers for the TT MK1/R32 MK4 and the GEN2 units for the S3 8P/ New TT and MK5 R32 - the GEN2 is a switchable controller and has the functions of all 3 different controllers (Std/Sport/Race)

3) We keep large stocks of both the units at our Bedford HQ / Workshops

4) The Sport controller is completely fluid in it's distribution of torque to the rear wheels. It's not 50/50 or 100% rear. It essentially reacts on the same input signals as the standard contoller (ABS - ESP - ACC) and distributes torque according to where it's needed. The main difference is that it will respond and act upon smaller inputs and distribute more drive to the rear when required. This gives the feel of a more balanced 'all wheel drive' car, particularly when cornering or accelerating hard. Another feature is 'flat' (car stance - rather than nose lift) acceleration from a standstill as the controller drives more of the rear wheels than standard.

5) The Competition controller is similar and is also fluid. But this controller is more sesitive in monitoring the imputs and more aggressive in switching the torque, providing a sportier driving experience.

The Competition units were originally developed for Skoda WRC team who used a Skoda Octavia 4X4 with Haldex for their Recce ( practice) cars.

Difference is that during braking it will lock up instead of opening wich is done in the normal HPP.

This will give the car more stability during braking and redusing the risk prevent single wheel lock.

For normal "street cars" it's not a good option since it will not open up during ABS braking ( safety issue) Therefore only experience drivers who are aware of this should have one.

Can't afford this sadly but I hope you don't mind me asking a question about it. I know it says not really for street use and it's really for experienced drivers etc. Is this true or is it them covering themselves??? Would I enter hell backwards in in a flaming R if I ever fitted one LOL.

Cheers

Simon, I could be wrong.....but I believe the main safety issue is.... IF you lock up wheels (under heavy braking) the ABS won't work effectively but you can overcome this by 'pumping' the brake pedal which is what most peeps done way before ABS existed - hence experienced drivers only bit lol. Hope this helps?
