you say custom maps, but they aren't really as you are only modding a generic map to suit mods on the car from past experience. a proper custom map would be mapped on the fly, using a rolling road or even better doing it on the open road. Reputation of the company backing you is key. I...

cone filters are no good on the 1.8T, mine is causing serious restrictions. and any filter with oil . eg k&n has the potential to screw up the MAF.

well after getting mine remapped yesterday at chipped uk, i can say the K&N 57i kit for the 1.8T isn't worth anything, mine almost sucked itself inside out and was strangling the engine something bad. only saw 180bhp on the rollers with it. so i'm off to try my modified HKS filter setup and also...

i know someone who used to work for him, they aren't exactly impressed with him either! Also someone i know had there car in for a chip and lets say they weren't happy with what happened to his car while in his care! i say no more.

thank you, will be in touch in the new year.

i'm going to be going gt3071 on my 1.8T b5 A4. Backdraft - can you help in sourcing other parts needed and mapping for this? eg manifold, injectors, fuel pump if needed, FPR. also would you run this on standard ecu or go over to aftermarket (i've done this many times on bmw's, but want this...

well i saw you there, a friend was racing in Formula Woman so had some free tickets. noticed the Audi DNF'd. what went wrong? meant to pop over and have a chat but got dragged home before i got a chance. noticed Birley's? escort cossie doing usual 1st place, i used to help out in euro saloons...

what car do you have? bigger turbo required for 270bhp+ for sure, garrett gt2871 or 3071 and manifold. K04 may get 260bhp not sure, you may have this already depending what car you have. bigger injectors required, 5 bar fuel pressure regulator, custom map also depending what engine you...

i have ths one which i am happy with, i'd say that the gaskets are crap though, use audi ones. also little tricky getting one of the nuts up tight behind the turbo due to the size of the bore.

well on a 1.8T engine, with the right parts there has been 517bhp, realistically for reliability i'd say 350 -450 bhp, but it costs. my engine (without turbo, ecu software, injectors etc) has cost £3500 and is probably good for around 400bhp, maybe a bit more. now factor in injectors...

if you have an a4 1.8T quattro, then i don't think you'll have ignition leads as the coil packs are on top of the spark plugs. fuel reg will only help along with an increase in boost/remap/turbo or all of the mentioned. injectors, same as fuel reg, need to be done with turbo if going more...

i just use some air ducting pipe for brakes, used on race cars, pain to work with sometimes and expensive'ish but does the job, i'd go largest diameter possible. i have tried to wedge some through various gaps in the front of my a4 and one coming up from the drivers lower bumper grille on the...

also can you recommend what i should use, 1998 a4 1.8t, 15 miles in morning and evening then about 100 miles over weekend, gets driven bit hard sometimes. engine has done 3000 miles, rebuilt with low comp forged pistons, fast road cams, running std turbo with 1.2 bar of boost, may do track...

i got out to cyprus a lot and was surprised at their level of tuning pn mitsi's and scoobs, they seem to be on a level above us here in the UK, also a mate of mine works on lancia integrales and they quite often visit greece as again they are ahead of us.

i'm trying to think, but if the ecu knows it is overboosting with a bleed vavle it must be detecting it with a sensor, so you need to fool that sensor as well, maybe disconnect or more probably a resistor? without looking at my car i can't think what there is to detect boost. unless it can...

thanks for reminding me about power engineering, i have heard nothing but good stuff about them, unfortunatly star performance are at the other end of the country to me, so will probably be out of the game, though i did email them about atp turbo conversions. as for inflated power figures, yep...

i think everyone is getting too tied up with figures, best thing to compare car to car is by driving them! a 400bhp car is not always faster than a 350bhp car of the same for instance, it's how the power is delivered for the purpose you want to use it for and how the chassis etc can hold up...

bigger turbo? what model is it? b5 , b6?

i haven't actually got mine chipped yet as i have had severe engine problems, i bought the car with knackered engine, then replacement broke after 20 miles! awaiting for my new engine to be built, then a big turbo is going on, so can't really give advice on mpg etc. i think mpg is usually 1...

custom code or their agents remap these, i have a 98 aeb engined car which is the same, you have to take ecu out to remap instead of across obd port.
