Right guys I'm brand new to the site so hello the names paddy ,,,,,I've done a bit of research on beefing up my 1999 a3 1.8t agu engine and wanted people's opinions on what I'm planning on doing please !
So to start off with am I correct in saying the model I have with it being front wheel drive not Quattro is the 150 Bhp with a ko3 turbo and forged internals / large port ???
Any way my plan is to fit the following which I have purchased
2nd hand ko3s turbo 180bhp as standard or ?????
full silicone hosing intake tip and so on boost pipes !! Not any major make but still £130 off eBay for the set
new de-cat down pipe 3 inch and 3 inch stainless exhaust from down pipe back ! (will this be same fitting as the ko3 ? )
N75 j valve instead of the standard n75
tt 225 Bhp injectors !
Full remap when all is fitted !!
Is there anything else I should be doing bar upgrading the brakes (maybe s3 brakes)
and what do you think I will be hitting Bhp wise ? . Also planning a front mount inter cooler but I've been told not completely necessary maybe if I was to go ko4 in future then yeah
The cars had a full service oil and oil filter , plugs , new mag as the last one went , new fuel filter , air filter
Now don't take this the wrong way but for a 1.8 turbo I was expecting a bit more from it to be honest so it's this or I just give up now and go buy a chavved up scooby lol
Thanks for any help and info before hand
