So as the topic states just some random questions.
What upgrades can I do and how could I check what turbo is fitted it has been mapped before but somethins up its fueling wrong and the boost varies drops of when sticking foot down and sometimes holds back n backfires.
So I figure rather than just map it again and find the problem I might aswel get a front mount n some other bits n pieces before hand and just get it all set up together.
So to sum it up can anyone tell me what injectors pump and turbo id need and also if anyone has any of these for sale aswel as a front mount and piping would be greatly appreciated cheers.

How much power are you after and how deep are your pockets?
-
Theyr fairly deep but I dont wanna go stupid not yet anyway I would think 280 bhp or 300 would be a fairly easy to start.

This site dead? Anyone know any of the above like how I could check what mods I have I mean theres insulation tape around the injector connector wires why would these need to be taped?
-
what year is your car an how do you know its been mapped before and stick a picture up were the tape is :smiley:

You're better off posting in the mk4 section, the garage is always pretty dead.

Its boosting between 1 bar n 1.5 bar wouldn't boost anywhere near that standard and my mates dynod at 180 bhp and he cant catch me and I can only go half throttle iv owned a few and none are as quik as this

prob best getting it checked to see if any fault codes are present an stick a picture up of the engine bay, and if you have owned a few and your mate has a tuned 1 can he not tell you what mods you already have :wink:

Well yoy can map to clse to 200 bhp with just the map alone cant you? He just has cold air intake and exhaust I know mines got an exhaust n cold air but like I said im only half throttle lol

depends what turbo and other mods you have but if you start with the agu with a k03 turbo an just a map and exhaust you might not see 200bhp :smiley:

I'm not on my phone now so I'll give a more detailed reply.
Before even thinking about more power you need to make sure yours is running well, you need to establish which turbo you have and what existing mods you have.
Engine code can be found stamped on the block or on the sticker which can be found on the boot floor:

AGU/ARZ - KO3 which is good for 190-195bhp tops
AUM/AUQ - KO3s which is good for 230-240bhp with correct supporting mods.
1 -1.5 BAR is definitely higher than standard boost pressure so it's almost certainly been mapped before. If you can post any mods that you know of and a picture of your engine bay I'm sure we can tell you more.
As far as your rough running you need to scan with VAGCOM for any fault codes as a starting point.

From what I can see someone has attempted an n249 delete dunno if it's been done correct or not iv given it a full service today new plugs oil n fuel filter plus fresh oil and a brand new bosch maf plus cleaned throttle body and it idles sweet now very smooth no more over fueling or popping and banging but it still wont boost right its up n down as high as 1.5 bar n it can drop to 0.5 or sometimes 0.1 anyone know what can cause this doesnt have any obviouse sound of it losin air on boost

The boost should be progressive, i.e. it doesn't be boosting to 1.5 bar all the time in every gear. Does the power delivery feel smooth or is it hesitant?
