Well yesterday i left home at 6:30 to travel up to r tech leicester for some of Nicks magic that everyone goes on about. My car never had the 6463 update from volkswagen either so was quite looking forward to the difference. 2 hours later Nick said jump in lets go for a drive and all i could say is WOW!!!! The power now is so smooth and progressive the overly keen accelerator pedal has now gone. We head back and nick showed me the graphs and the difference to VW's mapping is incredible. I had a BMC cold air induction and a custom made longlife exhaust with a lucifer de cat and the figures are quite impressive. It was 238 bhp before and then run 261 which is pretty good i thought but the torque was even more impressive 227-267 which is 30 more. Really really happy with that and would recommend anyone to go there in a instant. Also mpg went from 31 cruising up there to 35 on the way back. If you do go speak to Nick he's the man.

I know on the 1.8T's the BMC's are restrictive, don't know enough about the 3.2's to comment.

Really? I used one on my VR6 Turbo and it was far from restrictive. 400hp from 11psi boost. The big GT35R was getting plenty of air.

I do like and prefer to use stock airboxes were possible though as some solid engineering goes into those. For one thing I hate oiled cotton and foam mucking up MAFs but my VRT didn't use a MAF, so it the BMC was OK to use. I tried a K&N open cone and the motor felt flatter everywhere, as well as a lot noisier.

Anyway, I'm happy the OP is happy
