Any euro6-modified buses now unclapped in performance as a result?

Any euro6-modified buses now unclapped in performance as a result? Not sure if it had TopoDyn prior to conversion but T138 has it now and can level up to a Q E40D performance-wise. Can't say if it was any slower though.

PDL118 can reach decent speeds, but its only downfall is the loud squeaking sound it makes when accelerating

ENL27 was actually really good today on the 166. It was coping well up the hill near Woodmansterne Village. This one used to be quite sick too.

Despite not being pushed too much, E2 did very well climbing up Central Hill on the 432 yesterday - very impressed given how hard the batch has been worked climbing the hills of Upper Norwood all their lives

I'm aware just how notorious DX and GY's DWs are but I've found a good one. DW249 here was ridiculously fast and would rev like nobody's business (as seen at 2:17) #ads Apologies in advance for my friend sitting next to me

Just had DPS30711 on the H22 and it has excellent rapid acceleration. Did not rattled at all when come to a stop and sounded perfectly.
Just goes to show that not all RATP DPS' are in the typical condition most buses that age are.

DW269 of TC is another good one - that thing has a loud Voith and takes off really fast. Seen on the 197 last week.

Seen on the 197 last week. Crane game? It’s basically a grabber where you move it up & down, then across and when you lef go of the button, it attempts to grab a prize which is generally a cuddly toy but other things can be found in them. You’ll usually find the crane game at seaside amusement arcades.

It's relentless, I was enjoying it so much one night on the 188 that it overheated in Deptford on the way to North Greenwich months ago one night, think I was enjoying it too much haha
