ABF power-up! How?

[Neza]

Hello! Can you help me, with solution how to power up my Golf 3 GTI 16v (ABF engine).i have already installed a cold air intake, supersprint exhaust.
is there any solutions with ECU?
maybe chip-tuning? is it works?
have you a clean exaples that chip tuning for ABF is gaved a few horse power?
where i can order it?

The DIY chips off ebay are not worth buying (Blitzchip/Powerchip)

You need to go somewhere like AMD or Stealth to get a remap/chip. This should give you up to 175bhp approx

Even Vince couldn't manage 175bhp!

There isn't much more you can do to the valver to get real gains apart from the boosted route. Ported and polished head is pointless as the ABF is a good flowing head as standard

Some peeps on here have had those results!

175bhp from an exhaust and a remap?? crikey thats good...

i would be happy if mine did that!!!

why not? 150brake out of the box........

well an exhaust adds no more than 5, so that's 20 from a remap from a N/A engine?

although a lot of valver's produce more than standard once they get to 100k and are run in a bit....

CAMS get a set of cams, that should put a rocket up your rooster 

[Pete Taylor]

cams are also pretty useless on the ABF unless you have the rest setup to match

[mark3valver]

agreed - cams don't do a lot - it already produces its power very high up (essentially a higher lift cam only really changes where in the rev range an engine will make its power, doesn't really add power)

Once I have sorted the handling etc, my list of things to get engine wise will be

New manifold
full stainless
K and N panel filter in standard box
remap
lightened and balanced flywheel
balanced crank

possible management change
