Nice wright-up Hurdy, glad your happy with the upgrades :cool:  I really wanted the Milltek Turbo back system but it's all gone quiet on that front, I have left my name and number with Milltek and sent a couple of emails but nothing back as yet :cry: maybe I'll try some other mod's now... :evil: 

I couldn't wait either.

Just need to go back after Christmas and hopefully there will be a Milltek available then :undecided:

a guy i know from cupra.net just had a turbo back fitted to his mk2 cupra, they made it OEM oval tail pipe so no good for us but that can be altered by them no probs, they also did a 3" downpipe too, so hopefully if they get there finger out it wont be much longer.

The Milltek boys are all playing with the R8 they have in for development. While they have that I'm sure a few things have been forgotten at the back of the workshop :grin:

It has already been developed. fastismycopilot on UKMKIV's had his car in with Milltek for a week and he says the full system is a 3" system all the way through :cool:

They just need to get their finger out and release it :angry:

Hurdy,

what affect has the remap made to your fuel economy?
Is it better, worse or same?

I wouldn't mind the Milltek but am quite worried about the noise increase.  Will have to hear one in action before I decide.

Don't really measure it, although it averaged 36 on the fuel consumption on the way back on the motorway stretch, so it looks like roughly the sam as before. I would suspect that when you nail it, you will see a significant drop though.

How's the car been after you've had it remapped?? Are you finding its getting quicker day by day?, or have you not noticed much change? Whats the power like now compared to standard?

I would say that up to 3,000 revs there is just that little bit more urgency about the car and the throttle seems crisper to react. Above 3,000 revs OMG!!!
 Full throttle attacks on the road are truely awesome. Wheras before the remap the accelleration grew up to the red line, now there is simply a huge increase in accelleration all the way to the red line. All I can liken it to is the same accelleration you get in a 996 Porsche - but more so :shocked:
  I haven't noticed much change in the power from when I first had it remapped to now, but I think that is more to do with ultimate figures at the extreme end of the performance range, rather than noticing anything in the mid range powerband.

Well Hurdy, you've convinced me to get my backside down to Awesome in Manchester.  :smiley:
I think i will be popping down there in the new year to get the APR remap along with the Forge DV. Probably will be looking at shelling out £800
APR remap should take my car upto 252bhp.

Is the Carbonia intake really necessary?

£499 for the APR remap
£150 for the Forge DV
£xx for rolling road

£50 in fuel to get down there and back up  :grin:
