New golf

[Scottish_Gaz]

hi guys, new to here and new to vw never mind a golf. Just bought a mk4 golf gti turbo and im wanting some advice on few stuff. Basically i went and bought it and i was expecting more from it being a turbo but it won't go past 120mph.

I dont rag my car, far from it but like any new car, you want to find out what it can do, and i wasnt very impressed.

Im organising it to be remapped as ive heard alot about bigger gains being a turbo. its 150bhp if im correct? so what you reckon it will go to with a remap?

after i have it remapped, what should the next step be? booster controller to up the bosste slitely?

im asking on here as most of you know what best suits these cars and what they advantage and disadvantage from

when will you need to go past 120  but im sure some of the others will be able to give you advise etc on how to get more power prob cai bigger turbo, etc

[Scottish_Gaz]

like i said, i dont rag my car, but mod it same reason as everyone does, so the power is there. Just saying i was expecting more

[the_stink]

well i think from what i have read in various threads that getting it remapped can get you up to about 200bhp poss more? i think to go further  thats when they advise upgrading the turbo and then another remapp poss changing the exhaust system as well lots of fun stuff  just have a look through and im sure you will find some info that will grab your attention

ok cool, i think 200bhp would suit me!

one more thing, does anyone know much about blow off valves? dump, wastegate, flytail etc etc etc

as there are all these names but knowing whats what is the harder part.

does anyone know the difference between them all?
whats loud and not?
whats best suits golfs etc etc?
