Maikonics CX GTi Turbo

[captainhaddock]

I only have a turbo 1 series 2 (2 BDP sensors) but no intercooler. Maybe after 2016 I might get her updated, if I can afford it. This chap with the KDFI, I did follow his story, I think. Guessing that he is Dutch as well. Yes there are a few people with VEMS and KDFI, all quite happy with it. But the owner of the Vanderlaan garage, has gone far beyond and is always experimenting to further the 'turboboost'! Most less technical guys are always afraid the rest of his car, cannot take the power he put in! Never fast enough LOL L:)

Very interesting how they do that, this KdFi and VEMS stuff. Good that its been done on CXs. Guess it must be complicated and expensive?
