Title: remapp before or after ?
Post by: matg340 on 02 July 2010, 22:49

Hey , after a bit of advice , got a 1.8t completly standard , but needs more power :)

lookin at gettin mapped at r tech in a fortnight or so and wandering if it will make any difference with it running standard exhaust and intake ?

ordering a forge 007p dv in the meantime ( i hope thats the correct one i need ) tbh cant afford the exhaust yet and heard that induction kits muller the mfa ? 

Would i be better getting the exhaust sorted first and maybe induction kit ( any advice,info on that would be appreciated) and what would you guys recommend apart from miltech which are way beyond my budget ,

Any advice welcome peeps

Filter definitely but exhaust depending on engine code. There is about 100 similar almost word for word posts on here if you search in the top bar for remap

There is a difference between performance items and estandard but as said, varies from engine code (and turbo).

The DV you want to get is correct, check with R-tech which spring you need (as it comes with several). Induction kits vary, the pipercross filter and green cotton filters will not ruin maf, what it is, is the K&N and other branded filters are oiled/greased up, this upon intakr ruins the map, could always wash them  :grin:

Id get remap first as I'm pretty sure if you get exhuast done later you will still benifit the same way from the remap regardless of before or after. As for cheaper option, it's building your own exhuast or going elsewhere for one eg blueflame etc...
