GTi Tdi performance modification options?
« on: 18 October 2011, 16:21 »
I have a GTI TDI 150 which has been recently serviced at VW

I have had it remapped

What other reasonably affordable things could i do to improve its performance? (Responsiveness, Economy, etc)

Grateful for your views

James

Ive got a miltek decat pipe then a standard system from that. Need a reducer though to fit it to the standard system. Now im playing with removing my back box, turbo spools up quicker but not liking the noisy exhaust lol. So im going to mod the rear silencer  :grin:

I won the decat on ebay for £62 :)

Think the lamba sensor must be on the manifold on my 130 as there wasnt one on the exhaust when i swapped it over.

I get the owl noise with decat and standard exhaust. If you have OR put a resonator in the system youll lose the owl noise so just go for one with a rear silencer but no centre resonator.

Dont know how the whole system sounds but there probably a few members one here with them. All i know is i added a resonator on to my system and i lost the owl noise :(
