couple of nigles with the bora 2.3 v5
« on: 18 March 2011, 08:22 »
right then have a few things anoying me with the bora (god im missing my mk2).

first thing when coasting allong with very little throttle on the car feels like it has throttle slightly open for a few seconds and then closes, susspecting a sticky throttle body but is there anything else that might cuase this.

car under full throttle doesnt seem to pull as hard as under half,1/4 throttle if anything its bogs down a little im susspecting this is a duff maff sensor?

now I know the bora is a big car compared to my baby little mk2 but good god do the handle like boats, now the car is dropped 40mm on apex springs and shocks and has had polly bushed front and rear arms (previous owner) but it still rolls quite a bit any suggestions on a decent set up to sort this out.

and lastly anyone know where I can get a decent exhuast from for her and ive seen figures on remap sites qouting a extra 18-22 bhp from her if remapped but find that very optimistic for a NASP anyone had a v5 remmaped and what figures did you get?

Remap will give you 2/3bhp if your lucky, is yours the 150 or 170bhp.

Will a remap will give you at most a couple of bhp.

Little or no point, might as well sell up and buy a 1.8t.

tbh i might just buy a cheap mk216v and rat it and keep the bora as a cruiser.
