if that's an AGU, where's the throttle cable? oopsie, did you think you had an AGU all this time?

huh ? 

how do i tell then , i was told it was 230 bhp when i bought it but only made 195bhp at awsome on the dyno

[topher]

if you peek under the front left corner plastic screw that holds the engine cover on, you should see 3 letters stamped on to a tag sticking out from the head. On an X plate its difficult to tell if it's ARZ or AUM from the picture. ARZ should have bolt down type coilpacks but they usually get replaced with push-in ones. If it's ARZ then your power is about right, if it's AUM then you're missing some ponies.

just checked in my service history and its an AUM  i dont know why i always though AGU 

does that mean i have a ko3s ?  hmmm it was advertised at 230bhp , so im missing at least 30 horses

i might have to get a Re-remap (if that word exists) :lol:

[simon20vt]

yes, all AUM's have a KO3s, so i guess you are missing some hp! As yours is a very early AUM, i have heard that there is a small chance it uses the KO3, not sure how much truth there is in that though. Mine is a Y plate AUM, and i have a KO3s... Easy way to tell, get under the car, have a look at the turbo and count how many fins/blade the turbo has, if you have 12 - KO3, if you have 8 - KO3s then get it checked out and see why you haven't got more BHP!!

Then you can consider your Re-remap 

speak to Nick at R-tech, if he has a look at it, i'm sure he'll be able to tell you whats up, have you got VAGCOM, if you have, plug it in see if it throws up any fault codes, if not i'm sure a local mechanic will have a universal diagnostics reader, the fault should still show up.

these CAI's are absolutely fine, although im going to cut my pipe so filter ends up next to battery aswell

[munks]

I got one! cut it down so sits behind the battery!
Sounds pretty good.

[tech1889]

my typhoon is in 2 pieces so in winter i can put behind battery and summer behind bumper 

[tg1]

i took mine off for the winter as it was wet when i removed it, but i did also cut the passenger side vent a little at the blanked off bits to give it a little more air  so maybe it was getting extra wet because of that? wouldn't of thought it made much difference though to be honest

my yaris had a typhoon, the lad i bought it off flooded his engine and once dried out it was fine, never had a problem with it on mine, and it was on for like 2 years/20k but that did have a doody little sock cover that was useful and the filter was MAhoosive for a 1.5

dont drive in deep puddles, as in more than an inch or 3 if you can help it and you'll be fine

bad idea if you live in a flood plain

ok received this today and can i just ask those of you that has this kit is the big pipe polished? as mine doesnt seem to be!

[Waffs1984]

Yeah mine was polished
