Re-mapped R32

[Wayne]

Exhaust and remap will add a max of 7/8bhp if your lucky.

R32's have come down in price a wee bit recently, you can get a nice example for £7k with change it seems now, obviously no idea on condition without looking at them though.  Lots of power, it's iconic and tax isn't all that bad to be honest.  Future classic

Seems a good price, shame no interior shots, but yeh NA engine with exhaust and remap would not produce those figures!  turbo or supercharger is the only way with those !

shouldnt we think in percentage of power figures rather that actual figures when you consider the engine is quite big in the R32. im not saying the gains from the exhaust and remap are not optimistic at all..  but how can you say an exhaust for example will add 5-10bhp when in my opinion a mod should add (or subtract  ) a "percentage" of power depending on the engines specs?.
maybe i`m dribbling rubbish, or do i have a point?.

One day I will run a MK4 R32, one day.

+1 Alan,  good thing is theres plenty out there with less than 50k and in good condition, which in a few years will be within my price range!

Turbo it?!

Turbo it?!   

Twin turbo 

Then you can do this all day long

Price isnt a problem. Running it as a daily though . . .

TBH I could probably just about get away with it now, all depends on where the work is and how far away it is. Playing it safe with the MK5 for now.

Yeh thats a fair point, seeing 25 average on mine is bad enough, god knows what a R would do, Like i say maybe in a year or two! 

[AlanD]

25 average on a 1.8T? Ouch

(Must stop looking on Auto Trader)
