Hi gents

Still loving my 6 but she's an old girl(160k miles) and I'm wondering what a good benchmark is for a healthy 6's performance. Now mine is well maintained but is quite noisy (it had a richw head rebuild)

In the folder of receipts when I bought it was a load of graphs from what looks like a before and after remap (174.4bhp at fly, 144 at wheels) it's what I think is a standard lump, has a richw crank pulley, k&n, magnex exhaust and that's about it (it's stripped out, buckets etc) - I'm also trying to work out if I should remove the recently fitted decat, it feels stronger and sounds awesome so struggling to work out what real impact it's had....


Anyway, recent trackday showed it to be absolutely bumper to bumper with a phase 2 172 clio (I mean utterly identical performance) I think that's probably about right but what do you think? (I'm used to turbo cars so very hard to gauge)

With the decat i had i noticed a big drop in mid range torque but more top end go compared to a genuine cat being fitted.
Worth it on a track car but not really for a daily unless you love pops and bangs, all imo of course.
