Tuning steps for my gti

[stevo_20v_turno]

Hey guys,
Im new to the site after only recently aquiring my first vee dub. i got myself an oak green 3door 150bhp gti. at present the only mods are a revo remap with dyno pwer of 195bhp and 250 lbsft. what should be my next course of mods to get more power? i was thinking a de-cat followed by a frount mount i/c...if i decide to go with this, will the car need re-mapping or will the boost its running now which i believe to be one bar not be affected by a de-cat and fmic? i dont want the car boost spiking or running lean! also what boost gauge would be recommended as it doesn't have one at present!
Cheers,
Stephen.

What year is your golf or what engine code is it?  As for FMIC some say thay dont do much at all and the standard side one is fine.
 You only really need to remap again if you get bigger turbo.

Milltek full system (inc high flow cat) shoud see an extra 15-20 bhp

The standard cat is VERY restrictive and high flow will also free up mid range torque

What dv are you running?

its an 01 model and was a 150bhp car, milltek system sounds good,im in ireland abd i think i know of a supplier! as for the dv im not 100% sure, the car has obvious compressor surge noise and a bit of a whoosh on gear changes underload,if that makes a difference?? its prob the standard one ill have to check!!

You wont need to remap again mate they can alter your current chip the only thing you may want to do later if you want more power is fit a programmable ECU.

If its standard one get it changed ASAP as thay fail for a pass time with a remap
