Dblock Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 Tdi or petrol? On mobile so can't tell. If petrol what have you done to get it to 115. Also if 35bhp cost £15 don't you think everyone would have done it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wheel whore Posted September 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 Ive got decat manifold to a straight decat rain catcher exhaust and an induction kit, guy at my local performance shop said im putting out about 118 ish give or take a few and its a petrol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defcon5 Posted September 19, 2013 Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 Oh dearThe guy in the shop is telling you the power output of your car? The same guy you are buying these things from? I cannot imagine how awful a straight through exhaust sounds but it is probably losing you power in the mid range. If those mods were decent ones specifically designed for the car you would be looking at less than 10 bhp increase.You are are better off burning £10 notes than tuning little petrol engines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go on a rolling road. No way in hell you are running that a sport with cams is about 120bhpish usually. If that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richardn Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 115? Doubt it,you had it on a dyno yet? Get it rolling roaded and then you will have a base figure to work on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wheel whore Posted September 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 Nah the car sounds quite deep but then when get up to about 3 thousand revs gets really raspy...sounds quite nice and I haven't bought the parts from the random guy who was telling me all the bullshit about my car I went to a local performance shop and got it done all custom.. what do you think about the remap then would it be worth it or not? if so how much bhp would I get of in increase just an estimate or something?

Dblock Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 Maybe 5bhp if your lucky. Honestly mate your car isn't making that power custom or not unless you have done serious engine work done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
