Intercooler?
« on: 22 February 2011, 17:50 »
Would a intercooler be a good upgrade? Was wondering also if the DSG box would handle a blufin and intercooler upgrade as the limit is 350nm torque?

Cheers in advance guys! :laugh:

Jay

P.S sorry for all the questions just new to the GTi  :embarassed:

Check out Revo mate, they offer a nice stage one and DSG software.  Stage one stuff doesnt need new intercoolers etc, its just ECU and some other small changes.

Revo also do a switch that turns it off so the dealer is none the wiser.....

Upgraded InterCooler is not essential for stage 2, just recommended to get the most out of your car. I would be looking at exhaust and induction upgrades first  :smiley:

cool, so if i did upgrade intercooler, DV and blufinned the Golf would i need a DSG upgrade because of the torque limit? im only upgrading the intercooler because i like the idear of cooler boost air. prolonging the life of the engine. a bit of mechanical sympathy i suppose.  :undecided:
i could be talking crap and fully expect to be put back in my box lol :drool:

Superchips have two stage 1 maps for the MK6 GTI, one for manual and one for DSG with a 350Nm torque limit.

Yes, I think the manual Map peaks at around 360-370Nm but the DSG is held at 350Nm.
The stock torque is about 280Nm
