vw golf 1.8 turbo engine questions

[harkerg]

So as the topic states just some random questions.

What upgrades can I do and how could I check what turbo is fitted it has been mapped before but somethins up its fueling wrong and the boost varies drops of when sticking foot down and sometimes holds back n backfires.

So I figure rather than just map it again and find the problem I might aswel get a front mount n some other bits n pieces before hand and just get it all set up together.

So to sum it up can anyone tell me what injectors pump and turbo id need and also if anyone has any of these for sale aswel as a front mount and piping would be greatly appreciated cheers.

How much power are you after and how deep are your pockets?

[harkerg]

Theyr fairly deep but I dont wanna go stupid not yet anyway I would think 280 bhp or 300 would be a fairly easy to start.

[harkerg]

This site dead? Anyone know any of the above like how I could check what mods I have I mean theres insulation tape around the injector connector wires why would these need to be taped?

[barrym381]

what year is your car an how do you know its been mapped before and stick a picture up were the tape is

You're better off posting in the mk4 section, the garage is always pretty dead.

prob best getting it checked to see if any fault codes are present an stick a picture up of the engine bay, and if you have owned a few and your mate has a tuned 1 can he not tell you what mods you already have

Well yoy can map to clse to 200 bhp with just the map alone cant you? He just has cold air intake and exhaust I know mines got an exhaust n cold air but like I said im only half throttle lol

depends what turbo and other mods you have but if you start with the agu with a k03 turbo an just a map and exhaust you might not see 200bhp
