I have owned it from new. We can't work out why it had such a high reading yesterday. It isn't the Intake Temp because we put it up much higher than yesterday and it still only read 214. The only thing I am wondering about is the gear and how much difference it makes, he may have had it in third one one day and forth the other.

Could be that.Is 4th gear in the 6 speed auto 1 to 1.That could explain it.

If you compare the black lines between the 214 and the 231 curves you will notice that the boost is identical. How could the cooler make the power drop??? me no comprehend..lol!!!!

You would just feel a 15 rwkw difference I think, therefore does it feel slower??

I have fitted a wog cooler with std MKII tune and power has not dropped (I.e. seat of pants feel). XXXR6T has been to the dyno with the same tunes and everything and has recorded a noticable difference in power. I'm sceptical about the cooler dropping power.

I used a wog cooler and I gained 10rwkw with no tweaking of the tune.

Hmmm, my latest cooler made similar power to the smaller hybrid one I had on it, but on 3psi less boost... I changed the pipes and intake aswell so its not a perfect A-B comparison
