Type S Power

[Howlinator]

Am I correct in saying that they reduced the power of the type S in 2012, in line with the standard models?

 

[F6HAD]

Nope. All Type S idtec are 180bhp

 

[Hondoob]

I don’t think so. This link shows the same 180ps and 380nm like the pre-facelift models.

This link is obviously wrong

Never seen that but yes incorrect. They even have a sticker in the door confirming power output.

The link has more than one Type S listed:

I've had my car mapped by F6HAD and was very pleased with the results. Then I had a go in my sons Audi s3 remapped to 301 bhp and
it makes my car feel like a slug in comparison. I suppose you pay for what you get, his was twice the price of mine and uses twice the fuel.
Special fuel too, the extra petrol, not the cheap unleaded stuff.
