Wolfsburg edition

Cheers for that bud, couldn't work out how to do that at all.

And no, swapped it for a 1997 Subaru impreza turbo 2000 awd, by far this is the better car

Have uploaded the dyno print out to my photo bucket which which the dyno was done on 14/01/13 by previous owner. Since then it has had a paddle clutch fitted 26/03/13, custom remap 03/05/13 by remap wizard at the cost of £240 again by previous owner and was told by Volkswagen it had a kdo4 turbo instead of a kdo3 turbo when they looked at my car (just what they told me as I don't know much about cars) really have had this car at the 160 on the clock but I know you can't trust speedos as there always out (was going down hill too) Again car speaks for itself in performance and anyone is welcome to test drive. Only reason it's having standard put on is because I tried to change the manifold to front pipe gasket and snapped 3 of the 4 bolts when tightening (did say I'm not any good at mechanics) so had to get it in a garage ASAP before it started doing damage to the engine so had to get a standard 1 fitted, yes I know you can get better 1's for the same price but need my car for work so can't be waiting around for 1 to be made up but will when I have time and money.

Dyno chart for anyone interested:



Those figures look like stock AGU with a few breathing mods, certainly not the power you'd expect from a 180bhp lump.

Welcome, looks a good project mate, keep up the good work, I'm on a standardise project at the moment with my MK4, mine was proper chavved when I bought, it, now it's starting to look normal again lol..

As for the exhaust, for £500, Top Gear in Bridport can do a full custom....(CAT, Middle and Back boxes) stainless steel for that money, so shop about, you can pretty much tell them how loud or quiet you want it, S/S is defo the way to go..have fun

that kind of money got me a full 3inch from the turbo back with a downpipe i asked to be made in sections as the s3 downpipe is a nightmare to remove so its now ten times easier an custom twin pipes at the rear to suit the bumper on the car

2.25" dark side fmic kit (from eBay, not sure if its a good make as don't know what to look for, will be here next week sometime) boost valve controller, red hoses, pipes etc,

The Darkside kit is for diesel engines, they specialise in diesel tuning, I spend a bit of time down there and Matt at Only Charged Dubs (forum sponsor) works along side them. Between them they have developed a 1.8T FMIC kit which can be found here:

http://www.onlychargeddubs.co.uk/products/1-8t-mk4-golf-platform-front-mount-intercooler-and-pipe-kit.html

They used my car to develop it on as can be seen in the pictures. That will fit behind the bumper you are running easily, it fits behind my standard bumper with all grills still in place.

what brake was it running on the printout and what brake will it be running after the remap, is that 190bhp your saying?

The printout shows about 160bhp and 181lb/ft before the remap, after the remap I would expect it to be somewhere around 190bhp. The Ko3 turbo that comes on an AGU maxes out at about that, if you want more power than that you'll need to change the turbo

Exhaust sounds good btw

Ideal buddy thank you, will follow the link and see what they can do also if I mention you put me on will that help you out in the future and maybe give me a cheaper price will cancel my order for the dark side front mount as mine is not a diesel :/ much appreciated advice people and also will look into the turbo more. Have found a place in Plymouth that do dyno runs called Alan Jeffrey's, they specialise in japense cars but they may be able to give me a little more info on mine, fingers crossed.

Right, thread tidied up! Lets try and keep it on topic!

Terryvdubgolf - in one of your last posts you asked about performance mods, can I suggest you do this in a new topic?
