How much power?
« on: 12 March 2009, 20:04 »
If your 1.8t has been remapped....how much power would you get from a de cat and or downpipe?

What is the downpipe mod anyways?

And any other mods available....besides all the usual smoothed box, r32 intake etc?

I got 14.6 BHP from FULL milltek and the DSG intake both fitted at the same time.

De cat and down pipe - removes cat not legal and can cause running probs - the lambda sensor can be coded out tho.

Sports cat + down pipe = high flow cat makes the full milltek - from the turboback and fully legal.  :smiley:

OK but what happens to the downpipe? Is it changed to a bigger one or what?

Also how much will it cost for a decat and downpipe?

Anyone?

if you have two lamba senors then you will need the sensor coded out,i think the 2 lambas came in on 2001 model mine has 1 lamba which is a 1999 so no need to coded it out.

i fitted a decat and downpipe a wk ago now and what a difference it has made cnt wait to get it on the rolls on the 28th :cool:

the downpipe comes off the manifold that joins onto the cat.

thats is where you take the cat out and put the decat in.

fitted a decat downpipe bout 2 weeks ago and i have the 2 lamda sensors does bring up an emissions light but runs perfect and quicker, been told you get bout 15bhp from the decat an a bit more if your doing the rest of the exhaust with it.  worth it plus most people no someone who can get them through an MOT with the decat.
