Mk6FezToArosaTdi Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 dont have one yet but im going to be trading in my mk6 fez for a arosa tdi style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> .. i was going to go for the sport as it would have the nice sporty exhaust but as they both same on insurance and the tdi can be made faster plus i could do with the better mpg it be rude not to style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />.. anyway back to the question, at some point i will want to make it quicker and have been looking on revo and for £399 revo can boost the performance from 75-109BHP - 33bhp increase145-182TQ - 37tq increase style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":o" border="0" alt="ohmy.gif" /> now to me that sounds great and im sure the top end will increase a fair bit as will the 0-60, but would a filter n exhaust aswell be good to boost the performance more or would just the map be good enough? style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> ideally i would only have the filter n exhaust if it makes a nice sporty sound because i wouldnt wanna waste few hundred quid on them, extra performance or not style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> im new by the way style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wave:" border="0" alt="wave.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bikerz Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 well filter and exhaust would boost performance but not tha much, maybe 5bhp more if you did them before you did ur remap. the cat back exhaust i think is a gd idea as you get the sound ur looking for and bhp. but i here you dont get hardley any more bhp from a filter. maybe a k and N panel would help a bit and they only 30 quid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 well filter and exhaust would boost performance but not tha much, maybe 5bhp more if you did them before you did ur remap.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Revo is off-the-shelf, so it's not tailored to any mods on the car. You'd need to go with someone like Jabbasport to get that, but it will arguably be a better remap due to being tailored to your engine.

sleeky tdi Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 Having been looking into engine mods for my tdi, you will first note that you are a little limited by off the shelf tuning parts.Filter wise, if you want a panel filter Green make one as do BMC (id go for the BMC) both around the £30 mark. However, if you have a little more money to spend BMC also sell their CDA airbox kit for the Tdi, cost is around £140.Exhaust wise, you can get a sebring backbox, or Remus do a couple of different style backboxes for the tdi, including 2 centre exit options. Prices for these vary from about £170-£250.As for a remap, id go with either an AMD or a Jabbasport item, AFTER the above mods have been fitted so that the engine will be in tune with these new mods. I think the jabbasport remap is around £500.Hope this helps,Lee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleeky tdi Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 Forgot to mention, if you want a quick fix mod, try a Dragon Performance tuning module at £99 from www.mrhoot.com Im running one on my car atm and am loving the increase of power (around 90bhp) and torque. It does make the car smoke a little more but hasnt seemed to affected the fuel consumption.Lee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd go with the Jabbasport solution personally, they have a great reputation and while it costs a little more than the Revo off-the-shelf solution, should be much better.

Mk6FezToArosaTdi Posted August 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 just looked on the jabba site and unless the custom is the one to go for then it be cheaper for jabba to remap and even the custom is only few quid more and the figures are pretty much what revo says so all good style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shifty:" border="0" alt="shifty.gif" /> last question out tdi tuning:could someone give me the run down and what you can actually do to a tdi to make it rapid? style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shifty:" border="0" alt="shifty.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleeky tdi Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 The custom map is the one you want, the other option is just an off the shelf chip, wheras the custom map will be specific to your car and will take the other mods into hand.Lee.

(I think) Gav the Derv doctor could clarify or someone who's had it done. Then you will have a high flow Air filter ( although not sure wether a pannel or a cda Airbox k&n or the like.Then a free flowing exhaust Like a Miltek ,Scorpion , etc. It is normally better to get the Add on bits like filters and exhausts fitted first then get it remapped style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":coffee:" border="0" alt="coffee.gif" /> Edited August 30, 2005 by Marqs_Loopy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big_chris1981 Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 hey there nice to see ya!good to hear you want to mod your car but please.... (sensible hat on) dont go racing your mates on the road.....its not worth the inevitble hassle that comes along when someone either crashes or gets caught speeding(sensible hat off)alos theres no point buying an exhaust just for the sound...or if you are doing that you might as well just buy a peco pile of noise making crap and bolt it on the back style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />bastuck systems are uber nice, and seem to fit wthout mods...but some people have had problems with other brands i hear....as for the filter, a panel one might be the best bet, i had and induction kit on my g40 and it soaks up too much heat from the engine bay.....much more noticable with f/i cars....stick with a panel in my opinion...slightly more extreme...but you could always go for a bigger turbo style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mk6FezToArosaTdi Posted September 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 i dont race, but it be nice to have a car for if my mates decide to race off out of sight i can put my foot down a catch them up like style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> , when ever we drive anywhere i always tend to lose my mates because they speed off style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> ...well unless its some sort of performance car then i cant see a sport exhaust making much difference on non performance cars like, just a nice sporty sound style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" /> really i will just wanna keep it simple, like remap,filter,exhaust and thats it style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumbsup:" border="0" alt="thumbsup.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
