Oh right, I just really need to know where to start, I want a custom map.

[doctordubs]

First a decent exhaust. Then a remap. Those motors have weeny turbo s so its limited but a small intercooler will also help

They dont make intercoolers for them do they?

[Golf 6]

Is the bigger engine not have a bigger intercooler

[Rocco Boy]

it wont fit this engine though?

[Golf 6]

How won't it fit?

[Rocco Boy]

How won't it fit?
Because it's a different engine, no space at the front for the inter cooler?

[doctordubs]

Ud have to run a smallish charge cooler. Space nt an issue. With the pipe work and fmi itl lag for years due to the small turbo

Surely the bigger engine has the same size of block and it's only bigger bores and or more valves? ??

[doctordubs]

In terms of design and operation yes. Every thing else no. Due to its small cc its quite capped in terms of bhp produced.

Would you just go for the turbo upgrade?

[Rocco Boy]

Could anyone give me some tips on tuning my 122ps?

[Gazwould]

How many times are you going to ask the same question Rocco ?

Do you have a Mk 6 or 7 ?

No one is really giving me much help? and ive got a scirocco, but they're useless in that forum!

start with a remap, simples. in the old days there would be a lot more to it, like airfilter, exhaust, playing with the points gap, closing the valve clearances down from 10 thou to 5 thou, advancing the timing, drilling the main jet in the carby and all the other old skool tuning tricks. now, you get a remap. simple as that. the exhaust will cope fine, so will the intake. you could see if anyone does a high lift cam for it, but i doubt it. i dunno though, check places like piper or kent cams. if you want the airfilter box then stick one on. it won't do much, even with the map, but its your car and your money, but start with the map. this will do all the right things with the fuelling and turbo to make it run as well as it can, then start doing the exhaust and bits. also try looking at the tuning shops and seeing whats on offer, but beware of cheap ebay tat. a cheap chinese intercooler may actually cost you power. also bear in mind that this engine isn't really one for tuning. my s4's v6 is, as thats built for power, but the 1.4 is an economy engine.

[Doctle Odd]

Hybrid turbo, high lift cam, better conrods and pistons, get the ports polished, competition clutch and a quick shift linkage. You could sell it abd buy an S3 with a BAM engine, spend some pennies on that bad boy and you have 300 brake. De badge it, add wide steelies and go look for a beemer

[zollaf]

if you want to have a quick car, start with a quick car. my s4 is 265 stock, but runs 326 with a map. add new injectors, fuel pump and pair of turbos and you can see 550 bhp easily. start with a 1.4 with 122 and after spending 10k you could see 200.

[Doctle Odd]

1.4 Scirocco is a contradiction in terms, a sport car with an OAP engine. Unless you're very young and have difficulty getting insurance sell it to a hairdresser and buy a car with some nuts.

Youre right I'm only 18:)

[Doctle Odd]

Mate you want to be very careful what mods you do and make sure to check with your insurer. You can easily invalidate your insurance and insurance companies love not paying out. No insurance means a conviction and fine and huge insurance costs in future. I'd advise you keep it standard for the first year after that you'll have a small no claims discount. TBH you could do more with a 1.4 TDI polo mods wise

[zollaf]

and anything thats different to how it left the factory is classed as a mod, even an airbox, and watching you pride and joy being taken away on a low loader is no fun, even worse than paying the release fee when you have sorted the insurance for the mods.

That's no problem I'm on a traders policy, my dad owns a string of garages. Just really want to get this car a bit quicker!

[zollaf]

mods still need to be declared on a traders policy. a new clause for this year on mine with tradewise is that you can't use it to secure the release of an impounded vehicle. my s4 doesn't cost me any more to insure though, with all the mods declared.

[Doctle Odd]

If you have traders cover you can drive whatever you want, no need to mod an OAP engine.

Yes but they're very strict on what they will insure me on, I just want to know where I could get a exhaust system from? Cheers.

An exhaust isn't going to do anything unless it's remaped , even then the exhaust gains aren't going to get the jt twitchin' .

Yes a more fruity sound , but it'll cost ya .

Remap and perform surgery to any silencers and investigate decat options .

[zollaf]

since the car was type approved , it is illegal to modify the exhaust to make it louder than standard. and a decat is a definate no no, unless you like paying fines.

[Gazwould]

I wonder how many on here have incurred a fine ?

28411

So the S4's exhaust system is stock with cat(s) ?

[Doctle Odd]

As your dad owns a string of garages he'll have the wonga to insure you in an S4 or GTI,

mine wasn'y type apporoved, thats post 2001. its got a stainless catback system, cats still there. as tested at 3750 rpm, 50 cm from the tailpipe, it gives 80 db. the legal limit is 82, if under 86 you are ok, 86 - 90 gets a warning, p69 or whatever it is, and 90 plus go straight to jail.
from time to time, old bill have a crackdown on unsociable exhausts . they did round here. i got pulled, i laughed. you can hardly hear mine its so quiet, thanks to small turbos, and i like to keep it inconspicuous.
