With those mods should be looking at 220-230bhp depending on the engine code your car has. Do a search on here regarding the codes.

I think my standard 150bhp has a 0-60 in about 8 seconds, but 50-70 times (overtaking) is where it counts in the real world I reckon. :wink:

Depends on whole host of factors...how old is your car?? i have 98 mk 4 GTI T with millltek cat-back .exhaust, bailey re-circ valve, ECU remap standard air filter. Haven't had it measured on rolling road, but realistically reckon i'm knocking out about 190-195bhp at the wheels. I'm guesiing 0-60 in about 7 seconds. Having said that, there's a lot of other stuff to take into account. My car feels a lot more rapid with optimax, with no passengers and with 1/4 tank petrol. I wouldn't get too hung up on 0-60 times tho, one bad gear change and you'd be shown up by a slower car, or be quicker than a supposedly faster car.

Most remapped Golfs pushing 200+ hp should be able to achieve 0-60 times of around 6.5 secs if not less.

i made a 6.2 according to a g-tech meter, thats with all the usual bolt-on goodies and revo (AGU engine). f*ck all petrol and absolutely nothing in the boot though, not even a parcel shelf :laugh:

not wanting to sound boring but Phil, how good is your mpg under normal driving conditions now with the IHI ?

Under normal driving i don't think there is a great deal of difference to a remapped car, but ever since i changed my maf and injectors the ecu does not show correct readings for mpg.  :sad:
