LPFP upgraded -now too much power

I have been wanting to get the car ready to run the 1km with RB's for quite a while. Getting another new car (Golf spit) in the house allowed me to claw the 335 away from the vrou.
After all these years I started off by reading if there where any faults. I havent seen a engine check light in four years so this was going to be interesting.
What appeared was LPFP shadow codes. 2AAF. I always had in the back of my mind that my LPFP had seen better days battling with AFR's at the top when the car was cranked to the max but it was obvious that on everyday boost it was also affecting the car. This code also comes on for no reason due to a voltage drop but I was convinced I needed it.
There is a guy that has a drop in solution called Steve in the states that has a 255lph inline pump attached to the stock pump so decided to give it a shot.
The unit came complete and was plug and play. It took about a hour to fit with some scratching around.

I loaded the daily map that requires octane booster and with no meth went off to the dyno. On the highway it seemed that things had changed to the positive. Boost was sitting just short of 1.2bar.

I sat in the boot during the dyno runs which didn't sound like much. I have always been a believer of no cooling down and spraying of the motor etc.

Here are the results. I am pretty much surprised and will have to lower the output for the wife hehe.

Next week I will do a balls to the wall run with meth and see what she pushes out. I am enjoying driving the car a can now see why this love affair of the 35's started.
