  • Mk4 1.8T, Mk3 VR6 gone AUDI A1 Gone, Back in GTI
Got mk4 1.8T and looking to get it remapped soonish :smiley:

Was looking at stage1 but also seen custom?

Mods so far are:

007p
new hoses
pipercross panel filter/ smooth airbox
sports cat
3"dp

before remap looking at getting:

new tip (heard this can make a difference?)
new cat back (hidden)

I currently run it on normal unleaded cant afford v power  :grin:

Any ideas what bhp/torque i would see?
Would a custom map be better suited?

Thanks any help appreciated  :cool:

£3ish more a for a full tank, you shuold go futher and should go faster and it should be kinder to your engine. Do it.

Yeah on a full tank it is not as much as you think. I worked it out from a place near me. http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=224253.0

Give your car a couple of tanks to get used to it and then I'd say yes you will. Mostly in the mileage I'd say, but it will be a tad more pokey...Or is that just me with a DERV?
