ok, so how much bhp on top of my 150 should i be expecting to get with my car as standard if i went for a REVO?  and is it still worth gettin the extras after a remap? just could make more of them if i got them first?

If you go for a revo, it all depends on the age of your car.  If you got an AGU engine you can gain about 40 BHP.  The later engines, with the k03s turbo can gain about 60 BHP.

As for other mods, with the revo software it aint gonna matter about the order you do things, as the program will just be the same anyway (for smaller changes such as DV, exhaust, induction kit etc...)

If you were planning more adventurous mods, then a more custom remap is advisable and therefore you would wanna do the mods first.  Hope this helps ;)

Looked around and find REVO have a place 10 mins down the road from me. so i'll be sorting that at the end of the month. As for the induction kit, ive found this one "Neuspeed P-FLO™ Induction Kit" http://www.awesome-gti.co.uk/store/product.php?xProd=3692&xSec=140   .Would this be the sort of thing i'd be looking to buy in conjunction with my remap?


thanx
dave

Yeah, That induction kit will do fine.  Was thinking of getting one myself ;)

Just remember though, there is little performance gain to be had from any induction kit.  And in many cases, they can produce LESS power???  So your really paying for the noise it makes, which is fantastic, but maybe not worth £160+ (well to me at least).

If its power your looking for, a GREEN panel filter is often the best way to go (you can modify your airbox aswell, for extra flow).  Thats the way I have gone just now.  I may get an induction kit at a later date ;)
