Title: Cheapest 10bhp gain
Post by: Tezmax on 03 September 2013, 17:39

I have a stage 1 map, catch can, dv007p and panel filter. everything else is standard.
What could i change or mod to give me an extra 5-10bhp without spending serious money.

Thanks.

bigger downpipe will help might not give you the extra bhp you want  :smiley:

on a st1 AUM, the largest gain for the least money has to be a decat.

my AUM was ~200 at stock st1, then 224bhp after a decat and downpipe.

sorry to hijack but is there a massive gain between a decat and a sports cat? reason I ask is that I got the sports cat for legal reasons, but the car will soon be in a place where I can swap between for MOTs where as previously this wasn't the case

seems to be less lag and more free revving with a decat, maybe a few more BHP as well.

occasional pop & bang is a bonus too :grin:

I get the occasional bang and pops anyway with my sports cat  :grin:

for a few BHP it can stay on then
