I want to remap my 1.8t BUT....

[ReadieeVTS]

Hey guys ive got a 1999 (T) 1.8T with the AGU engine fitted.... Ive been looking through peoples projects on here and have seen some good gains from a R-tech remap with a FMIC and a Ko3s turbo fitted.... Now my car has done quite alot of miles 188k To be precise  lol My question is will this just kill the car or will be alright OR should i fit another engine with less mileage and then go for the above mods?

Any help is appreciated

Cheers Lee

can any of you guys shed some light on this?

with high mileage cars a remap will make the engine parts that are weak break quicker, also depending on the history of ur engine etc

ask a tuner direct on this one mate

This is what i was thinking, I may just lookout for another AGU engine with less mileage then get it remapped etc.... My car was used via motorway miles due to being a company car prior to me buying it lol

Not that i know of fella, It really does drive well though my boss has got a 1.8T too on a Y plate (on 173k) and he said mine drive's so much better then his and seems more responsive/quicker lol

Nick may reply now it's in here or give them a bell. What stage of tune were you looking to go for? 1 or 2+?

It has high miles but if it has been looked after it will be fine.
