New to the mk4 section
« on: 04 September 2009, 19:59 »
Hello everybody,

Just changed from a mk3 8v gti to a mk4 1.8t, what a difference!

Spent the last two weeks, trawling through your section, found all the common mk4 problems, gggrrrrrr, fixed most of them. Seriously looking at an rtech remap, and a Forge 007p.

So a couple questions,

My engine is an agu with 150 bhp and 155 lbs of torque, i've seen i can get between 180-190 bhp, but what sort of torque? There are many posts on these remaps, with loads on bhp, but can't find the torque figures.

Also, where is the best place to buy a Forge 007p? Can't find anywhere.

Cheers for any help, will get some pics up as soon as i've cleaned it.

Car info, '99 1.8t, 89,000 miles, fsh, nice dark grey, full cream recarro leather interior, all standard (for now)

how do

i think torque will be about the 200lbs ft mark

If you're getting an R-Tech remap then ask Nick / Ben / Toph to supply you the Forge 007P; they'll even fit it for you if you donate some choccy bics  :wink:
