The stock side mount will still flow enough for 270bhp but this will get dangerously hot, which will cause the power to be limited due to ignition pull, even with the oem sidemount you should still get really good torque 260-270lbft and have a huge edge on most k03s 1.8T.  The THS is the best Golf mk4 FMIC on the market and should easy give you efficient power across the whole RPM range. 


You only up the road from us by the sounds of it? If you pop down to us I will stick it on the dyno £foc and point you in the right direction to make sure the cars running safe...  put it this way the last K04-023 AGU we remapped annihilated my mates BMW E92 M3 V8 upto 120mph from a 3rd gear rolling start... :laugh:

Hang tight.. I am working on a group buy or discount code with THS.. They now do a kit for the mk4 130PD aswel.  Its the most efficient 1.8T I have used, and for the price it makes imo the best on the uk market.

Would be spot on if you could mate, I'd find the money from somewhere for it lol

Come to think of it, it would be a bit cheaper for me anyway as I don't need the PCR pipe...

Thanks for the advice Nick, and would be good to pop down as soon as possible for you to point me in the right direction. I think Stevie Wonder might have mapped my car rather badly haha, not been able to see what he's doing, unless there's an underlying problem that doesn't show up on the diagnostics or something. I'll let you investigate when i come up. Will phone again when you are back in at R-tech for a chat, guy said you were out at the moment. Sooner i can get it sorted the better  :smiley:
