need some advice on upgraids
« on: 18 July 2013, 23:08 »
Hi everyone,

I am looking for some advice on supporting mods required before remapping my GTI 1.8T AUM 150. I am looking to get between 190 and 200hp out of a stage one remap and was wondering what I should upgrade before doing this. my budget is £400 to £500 including the remap but the less I can spend the better. Any advice would be very much appreciated  :smiley:

Mine was mapped with just a pipercross air filter and forge 007p and it made 202bhp. Just make sure it's healthy, check for boost leaks, give it an oil/filter change etc.

Just had the car fully serviced by vw last week, has a 17705 boost leak error that shows up but the VW guarrage couldnt find anything wrong with it. Currently car shudders a little once warm when sitting at traffic lights, been advised that cleaning the throttle body should fix it, car also seems to surge a little in first gear at quarter throttle, not sure whats causing this.

Fingers crossed when I clean the throttle body it'll fix the surging too

I cleaned my throttle body a few weeks back and since its givin me the 17705 code, but there is no leaks. Remember and do the reset as soon as you put things back together.

17705 will be a leak on your DV valve or the pipe

17705 is just a bug, rtech remove it with the map.
