Im after some cheap and cheerful mods for my whip.....but the more i read and tinker the more its putting me of and just leaving the car as standard as it seems the omly thing these turbo charged engines like are remaps..can anyone help with a few simple but effective mods for my new baby?

Start with the easy things like performance air filter and forge diverter valve but obviously the most bang for your buck is going to be a remap but even the little things will make a difference.

I was reading that if i use one of those flat panel filters that use oil its can scrap the MAF? I really want to get the forge but im very dubiouse after the escapades i have just had with a dump valve.

I take it thats your company that does remaps? If so what are the implications to doing a remap and what would it set me back...

I believe you can also use the dump valve from the 225BHP audi TT, its obviously made to a good standard and probably cheaper than an aftermarket one. Some one else with more knowledge on this will probably be able to tell you more.

Yes that is true aboitmthe air filters which is why I never use oil on them I clean them out with an airline. With regards to the diverter valve that is the way to go but stay away from dump valves.

For the remap the increase in bhp would be 38bhp and we are about to launch an offer of all remaps for cars pre 2009 to be £200 and if two cars are booked in together then the price will be £300 for both and this includes a before and are rolling road run.

Let me know if you would like any more information.

I wish you were closer to me than you are, I'd be first on the list for a remap at that price.
To be perfectly honest, it may still even save me £60 to make the journey up if i take into account Fuel and Remap cost. Its just whether i can be bothered with a 6 hour round trip!!!!!!

Well we are launching the offer next week if your still tempted then!!

I may have to go to Syston, Leicestershire on Friday, so may kill 2 birds with 1 stone!!! Be nice if someone else books it with me than it will be well worth the trip

**Killakam78** · 12-11-2011,11:03 AM

I would do it with you but i aint paid till the end of the month

**sam.bird3** · 12-11-2011,12:25 PM

May book it up for the end of the month if you fancy it then. If we get it for £150 each then it is well worth the 6 hr round trip for me, I can Also put off my Visit to Syston till the End of the Month.

I reckon £40 in Fuel, Wear and Tear on Car (Mileage, tyres etc) £150 for Remap and the total time travelling may just make it worth my while, Considering the cheapest i can find it for in my area is £299!!!!!!!!!!!

Let me know what you want to do. I'm still going to search Locally if i can get it for Under £250, if i can get it for £250 or less i think it may be better for me to have it done Locally
