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

[barrym381]

ive got a 4 motion mate with 184k on the clock so i know there ok at that mileage but some tuners are funny about mileage but i suppose any decent 1 would do a check on your car before hand

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+?

I was looking to go down the stage 2 route with a ko3s and fmic

what setup have you got dude??

There are weak points with high miles, weak fuel pumps, worn oil pumps and blocked pick up pipes.  Apart from that I have not really had any issues tuning 1.8T which have gone around the clock.  The cams and cranks seem to last forever, I think the most I have see from an agu was 227bhp 245lbft with 211k, only issues after mapping was lean fuel in the torque band due to a old and lazy fuel pump.  

I will be tuning my wifes AGU with 165k on the clock  with my hybrid turbo to around 280bhp-280lbft using the stock engine as it is now, I also have my mates AGU with 175k which we are going to test a ebay k04-001 to its limits.

IMHO and from working with around on average 4 AGUs alone per week for the last 5 years I would say you have nothing to worry about, as long as the supporting items are up to the job...

Okay brilliant, well im looking to come to you guys soon once ive sourced myself a ko3s turbo and fit a fmic, I think i may possibly buy another AGU engine with less miles incase mine goes bang once all of the abobe modifications are made.

Thanks for clearing that up for me an expect a pm soon.

Cheers Lee

Another quick question this may seem silly me asking but will the fuel consumption become horrendous? I only ask that as i use it daily lol so i do want some form of good mpg even if i do drive it like a old grandad lol 

[daz veedub]

alot of peeps on here have found mpg better after a remap
