I do enter top speed events. I went to one recently and hit a real 193mph within 1.3miles whcih match the top speed of an Mclaren slr 722 and a Ferrari 599 and Lamborghini LP670-4sv hit 194mph so for just having 550hp it is very quick indeed (if I were to do a top speed run on the motorways the car would easily hit over 200mph).
What else would you like to know?

Not FVD but European so similar tuning philosopies I guess (ie should be able to pound autobahn)
This is the only Tip test I have seen - impressive acceleration !

A few of the mags tested the FVD 6XXhp version a few years ago, I remember being surprised at the quite unimpressive acceleration numbers for the hp/tq - could be that the bigger VTGs only really woke up past 200kph ?

I am in the U.K.
I do enter top speed events.

Do you take logs to check boost/air fuel ratios/EGTs?
Autobahn is very good.
Thanks but in USA you dont hit top speeds, dont you?
Did you experience any issues with your kit?
Do you have an exhaust? ıf yes how loud is it?

I have not experienced any problems as yet and I intend to get round to doing some data logs when I get a chance. I have only owned the kit for a few weeks but I can say it is amazing. PM me if you want to know alot more, plus I can help you get a good deal.

Chris,
I'm on the fence between a local shop doing the tune, fvd and another tune for a 09 turbo(w/ fabspeed exhaust) I read in another post somewhere that you switched to fvd from something else.. What software did you have before?, and what was the difference?? I'm on LI and notice you are too.. Thanks for your thoughts
