Exhaust, induction and remaps

JCannon · Post by **JCannon** » Wed Dec 03, 2014 2:56 pm

After a bit of advice please!

What exhaust systems, induction kits/air filters and remaps do everyone recommend?

I've got a 1.2 tsi 105bhp and been offered £220 for a 35 bhp increase.

Any help/advice will be appreciated!

Just ordered a DTUK box for delivery tomorrow. will post a review. Have had revo and apr maps in the past on different cars. The box claims 180hp and 298 nm torque.

Boxes get a bad name due to "resistor in a box" scams. DTUK boxes have a pretty strong reputation

Yeah everyone is telling me that they have got a bad name for themselves but they have got a lot better since then and are perfect if you need to change it back to standard
@rsmagee have you got the blue gt? If so I'm extremely interested!

Yeah got a 6C BlueGT. Read reviews of other people who have used it with the act engine and apparently it works great. Il let you know how I get on. Looking forward to it!

Iv just had a look at It they have only had the 6c on there for a couple of months as I asked them about it in November before I ordered the 6c BGT as I'd been offered others for the same price but I was worried about it messing up the cylinder deactivation. So was waiting for one designed for the car

yeah thanks I'll look forward too it

Can you use these boxes even if the car is on PCP?

Yeah as it flashes the drive when you take it off so no way if tracing it through the computer, just don't take it in for a service or back to them in any way with it on

Most boxes are not proper tested on the car. They also dont really set any limits to the map they just turn everything upto max which is what ends up harming the car. a good map is tested on the car then mapped again while the car is there to smooth out any issues
