Live remap will be the biggest gain.

It sounds good the dervdoctor also had a look at jbs design whats the main downfall to the engine on the 90bhp to lets say the 150bhp model ?
Camshafts/inlet manifold/turbo/ can anyone explain for me please so i can understand the restrictions on the 90bhp model?

Sorry no idea, VW's are not my cuppa tea.... You will probably be best asking on Clubgti.com or edition38

Worth fitting a decat pipe too, i have on mine and gained 10bhp and about 20lbft torque

Dont bother with the airfilter mods though, mine lost power with an induction kit

Stu already told him to go your place for a gentle remap
Think he will be doing he has been on the clubgti forum and that askin around for tuning companies but i told him ur the man

Yes guys had it a WEEK WANTS MORE POWER typical i cant say out though im the worse for power hungriness the reason he got the 90bhp model was for insurance which is Ł2202 third party fire and theft in the dreaded M POSTCODE

I told him not to worry stu will map its brains and goolies out for him and it will a different car

The days of your first car boy they bring back memories!!!

Thats releativly cheap for manchester and it all depends on wheather ur in m1-9 or m10-19 or m20-40
Unlucky for him and me we are M5 innercity although hands on heart never had car touched/stolen or crashed?
10 years ago the area was bad for stolen cars but the insurance companies are so still living in the past ??

We have the 90bhp version and it is SLOW! 35bhp extra from Stu would be great for the car
