Title: First time engine modding.
Post by: ryanegg on 02 July 2009, 10:06
For a budget of around a grand, obviously a re-map, but what else should I do to my 1.8t? I'll be looking to push it just over 210bhp.

re-map around £250 and de-cat with exhaust system around £450  . a good air intake £50-150  and forge 007p d/v to take the boost after re-map £80 .   if yours is a aum engine then u may see a bit more than 210 my friend
