Time to get something from my engine!!

[mrshaneyp]

im with elephant.co.uk! none my mates can believe it being so cheap!!, an that's what I was thinking I would think its only the front end side of things? and I'm planning on upgrading my exhaust system anyway, and I've got racing suspension?

Hi; I have a 1.8 Gti (n/a) [125bhp] and im now looking to push some power/torque from the engine;
my aim is to get her remapped but before that I wish to make some changes to get as much gain as possible.

I been told I can;
upgrade to green-top injectors,
K&N air filter/ cold air induction kit,
Sport cat/ straight through exhaust, 
FSE boost gauge(this is a maybe),

If fitting the first 3 mentioned in opinions would I see much gain not as in bhp but in acceleration?
then the fact i would get the remap would this be beneficial? thanks !!

Whoever told you to fit a boost gauge is clearly a plank.

You have no boost to gauge.

Flog it and buy a 1.8T

N/A Tuning= £££££ big bucks from experience

*High lift cams
*Stroker rod kit
*High comp pistons
*ITB's
*Stand alone ecu
*Head modifications (port&polishing&gasflowing)
*A good exhaust system not your ebay junk!

But likes been said its crazy money for the equivalent power in a a turbo'd motor

Remap on a non turbo will be about as much use as a hand brake on a canoe   

Rubbish.

It'll smooth out the engine responce especially after any engine tweaks, can make a good difference, though not as massive as a turbo map.

Not sure what suspension you got but in what way is it 'racing suspension'?

do they actaully work or are they just a waste of money?

[mrshaneyp]

yeah i did mean the boost valve but as i thought its pointless mod, so ant1981 id see some change in accelration possibly? and the suspension i have is the Apex RDX i believe (yellow springs) came with her when purchased.

Also would a AUM conversion be seen as a non-original engine replacement? as its still a golf gti engine? (worth an ask) cheers!

Of course it would, both the DVLA and your insurance company need to know.
