i have a AGU 1.8t, what sort of power figures would i see from a r-tech remap, miltek catback 4motion style exhaust, forge DV and PiperX filter? also would i need a stage 1 or 2 remap with these mods?
also is there anything else that is needed/advisable to get at the same time as all this?
thanks for any help guys

Been covered numerous time before mate.
AGU standard remap wont see more than 190bhp.
-
You have everything required for stage 1 already.
The extra oomph should keep you amused for a while.

okey thanks guys

I was pushing out 198bhp but had the addition of a 3 inch downpipe and de-cat, this helps the turbo spool up quicker and let the exhaust gases exit quicker, less stress on the turbo

how much did the downpipe cost you mate?? as im looking get one on my AGU.. also what sort power gains get just downpipe?? currently sitting at 190 bhp with r tech remap.. want bit more power :evil:
i already have a custom cat back exhaust system :wink:

K03-s it then :tongue: i know yours is an AGU but for a rough/approx guide for my aum i got the miltek 3" downpipe & cat and it was approx £325 iirc

check the mods in my sig, i got 195bhp with all them
ive had a 3" downpipe and hi flow sports cat fitted now tho by Pipewerx so it might of changed a tad
-
not sure what gains you will get from just a downpipe and de-cat, but it is a worthwhile mod as it removes the restriction caused by the standard downpipe and cat, which like i mentioned will help your turbo spool up quicker.
With you already at the 190bhp mark then next step would be to look at changing to a K03s turbo unit and fit a larger downpipe at the same time. personally i wouldnt just change the downpipe if your going to stick with your current turbo.
Also another mod would be to upgrade the standard TIP for a larger better flowing Forge one, but if your going to upgrade the turbo to a k03s then i'd get an AUM TIP instead of a AGU one.
Maybe give R-Tech a call to talk through your power requirements, i recon they will give similar advice

Have that exact setup and mine is 188 :smiley:
-
all mine has is a airfilter and a forge dv what bhp would i look at getting with a stage 1?
-
wikid .. thanks for the info guys :wink: will be looking at ko3s den for the summer :evil:

I got 189bhp from a re-map, better air filter etc, no sports exhaust. Once I've got my sports cat on and fixed a few minor niggles I'd like to see closer to 200 :drool:
