bun

not with as it is they did say it would be 140 max but they would need to adjust a few other things as well

i understand were your coming from with what you say about keeping up with my mates as i know in a lupo ill never be able to as alot of them have scoobys n that. all i want is a bit more power as he is the only other one with a 1.6 but the other way to look at it like you said is ill end up with no money and i wouldnt mind gettin a skyline gtst when im 25, so the other way to look is do i throw money at a engine with limited capiblitys or do i wait n then throw money something with more potential. there is a company near derby who have quoted a re map or me and said they could get 140 out of it and they got an offer on at the minute for that map.

also for the 1.8t dont you need to do alot of custom mouting and subframes for it to fit and alter the loom alot ?

well i was only looking to hit around 200 bhp as i feel that would be plenty quick enough in the lupo and i cant remember what company said it but they said to put a super charger on it is less internal work then doing a turbo they said but im just not sure as all i want is more power than my mate who has a vts with 160bhp n ill be happy so i was just woundering what would be the better and some what quicker route to go down with tuning it

well it doesnt need lowering as much does it as ive been told i could just strap a supercharger on as it is now with it on a lower boost but i guess ill have to look into that a bit more or pic your brain about it as you have done it if thats all right with you

yer but the reason i wanna run the supercharger is the elimination of the turbo lag and the need to convert it to low compression and well when put like that around 2 grand for 20 bhp sounds like money down the pan were as that could go towards the charger plus help a bit with sorting a mate of mine out with a few drinks who is good with engines but also im struggling with finding the company that are willing to sell em parts for the gti as ive rung about 4 up recently and they said sorry we dont do parts for the gti but if it was the 1.4 16v sport (100 bph one) i can sell you what ever you want just starting ot get a little annoying being told that really and as for sorftware i was gonna go to awesome or amd tunign to see what they can offer me i just dont wanna have to be told i need a stand alone as ive been told i shouldnt need one

true i do get were your coming from and for the supercharging it would you say forging the internals would be better to do straight away as then its already done for the later date of the potential for the bigger power increase or turning up the boost? In my mind i see it being better doing it all at once while im having it done even though it'll make it a bit more costly and i have a feeling your gonna say ive answered my own question but i want to get advice from people who have done it before or have looked more into it than me as all i know is i need a eaton m45 supercharger and one company told me id be looking at around the £3000 mark for just the charger and intercooler being fitted if i can get the charger for cheap, whic i doubt i will when it comes to me doing it unless i am very lucky

i know im looking at quite a bit for the chrager kit and for it to be fitted properly, i already have the car lowered on blisten coilovers but i just wanna get some more power for now as the supercharger isnt a definate for now just an idea

im looking to start tuning my lupo gti in the next few months and i was woundering what ius the best thing to do tostart for extra power gains as i have a bmc cda filter with a powerflow cat back stainless system but i wanna get proper power i am looking into gettin the head ported and polished and a set of cams in it as well but i was woundering what sort of inlet manifold would be better for the car as ive been told the stanard one can be resrictive but i am also thinking of having it supercharged next year but want a bit more power for now to make it more fun any help would be muchly apprieciated cheers ben
