update S2 chip tuning
After quite a bit of research I finally decided to go with
the Hohenester stage I box, which increases the power from
230HP to 265HP and the max. torque from 380Nm to 420Nm. The
stock overboost function produces a totally flat torque curve
at 380Nm from 2100rpm to 4200rpm. The Hohenester stage I box
raises this torque to 420Nm in a range from 2300rpm to 3800rpm.
Sure, there are a lot of companies out there who offer much
higher power gains for the same money (900US$) but for a daily
driven car the maximum power level is not important. In addition
Hohenester is known for it's excellent work and his experience in
preparing race cars and I don't really trust a lot of the other
chip tuning companies out there.
The upgrade will be installed next friday and I will conduct
some test with the g-logger to see how much the performance of
the car improved.
