not sure if its mapped

[prowler]

hi i got my mk4 1.8t 2 weeks ago an its meant to of been mapped but not sure...on the print out
it says its 220bhp/260ibft. at the flywheel. but it just doesnt feel that quick. dont get me wrong it pulls really well in 1st an 2nd but jus dont pool very well through 3rd 4th. an idears would be great..thanks.


ifits 220bhp at the fly wheel what sort of power do u think im getting at the wheels.im gessing about 190/200 bhp but not sure?.

what do u gys think?.

Hello,

220bhp @ fly on stock wheels works outat around 190bhp @ wheels.  If it dont feel fast it could be running a fault, MAF boost leak, lean mix due to blocked fuel filter ect... Who remapped it?

 company called red dot in enfeild. i think it may hve  boost leak as it wisles really loader than it should i think. some one said it could of been the impellers in the turbo rubbing on the caseing.but its jus head a brnd new k04-001 turbo so it shoulnt be that

Depends what you have drove before, these engines dont seem that 'revvy'. I got AGU remapped by R-Tech and very happy with result now i have it to full power, but after driving MR2 Turbo, this golf will never feel like that!

[prowler]

yes i no. my mates got a standard 1.8t so gonna drive that n see wht its like.

maybe the map was setup for the k03 and not a k04-001

[prowler]

does it matter then it was deffently mapped for k03 as k04 has only jus been put on?

[westallc]

yep deffo will need the map changed as the k04-001 is a bigger turbo than the k03s so will flow more air so fueling etc etc need to be altered.
