Thought I would take the RS for a health check with the intention of a remap at Wayne's ( Chipwizards ) the result was a massive power loss and a reading of 287 bhp on the first run, Wayne then got to work looking for the reasons, to his credit he found a minor vacuum leak on the varioram intake system, this leak was only a small elbow pipe adrift but the effects are dramatic resulting in the varioram basically not operating efficiently, secondly he found number four cylinder
plug lead adrift, hard to detect with 12 plugs but again resulting in power loss, and thirdly he suspected an incorrect electrical connection on the resonance flap solenoid valve, after downloading 1500 pages for the wiring diagram, true enough he was correct, so with the connector corrected, then his remap wizardry, a dyno reading of 342 bhp was achieved with 406 Nm @ 4170 or 298 ft lbs, the rs is like a different car now, superb job Wayne, cant recommend him enough, and a 55 bhp power gain, impressive stuff !
