nice acar the 1.8 T lump is a mint engine to be working with in regards to remapping....

im after a passat myself (moving up from a golf) but im after the 130 sport wagon

[jimmyflo]

thanks, i was very impressed when i drove it. I wanted the 1.8t because of the potential, she will be fully remapped next year

other plans are air filter, exhaust, lowered and 18ins RS6 replicas, maybe sound system but the multichanger in it is very good

looks a good example at a fair price!!

Good luck and let us know how you get on!

thanks for the comments ppl. I neer thought i'd own a vdub as i never really liked them, but i have to say i am turned, the interior feels more quality than my mates v reg 323 BMW

I'll keep all details posted as and when they happen and look forward to some meets and the main shows

Welcome aboard from another Passat owner.

Avoid the air-filter if you're getting a K & N the OEM filter setup is more than adequate and the K & N will just suck hot air in from the turbo.

i agree with sam, big no no on the K&N filter.... get a decent forced air induction kit if you're that bothered about air flow, its pointless sticking an internal induction kit in, you're just sucking hot air in, cold air is the best air for an engine

Don't even bother with a CAI in my opinion, the factory one is nigh on perfect.

but if he has it remapped the extra airflow will help from a 'CAI' wont it?

[jimmyflo]

i was thinking of buying a ram air cone filter and making some sort of heat dhield up maybe even fully encolsing it in a fibreglass box, I know it sounds chav but i just want a little more noise and cant afford to change the exhaust, k and n thats on my astra didn't invoke any power loss at all so i'll give it a go, can always take it off and sell it to someone if it doesn't work out
