REMAPPING MY TDI 130
« on: 05 May 2009, 22:01 »
hey guys jst a little more advice on my remapping mod im gonna get done soon. i have a gt tdi 130 and i am going to get it remapped very soon but i have been told if i am going to get any other engine mods done i should get them done before remapping? (i am getting a diesel dump valve) is this true? also my friend has a bora tdi 150 and it is remapped to 220bhp, how is this possible? what could be the maximum output with my tdi 130 after a remapp? thanks anthony

1) don't waste your money on a dump valve
2) no engine mods are really needed
3) no chance without a hybrid turbo

150 TDI's come with a FMIC as standard  :wink:

A larger FMIC won't increase power...it just stops you losing it on warmer days.

As said above, you won't really need anything else doing to your 130 other than a remap.  Costs beyond a remap are major as you'll need an uprated clutch straight away which isn't cheap.  Better to upgrade chassis.
