Do you reckon it would make much difference?

When I bought the car it had an HKS induction kit on it which I swapped for a standard airbox with uprated panel filter but I don't think that would have caused the problem.

I've only got basic mods anyway Do-Luck panel filter, Blitz Nur Spec 3" system and the only cat is just after the turbo oh and a Blitz dump valve

 

A remap on even a standard car is an improvement.

 

 

I'd like 300bhp do you think that's a realistic target given my mods?

 

if it was mapped for the HKS, it would aquire more air and mapped accordingly, standard air box would be doing less air, so imo yes it would, however the ecu is clever enough to generally sort things within reason, you more than likely need the MAF rescaling.

 

easy without the cat, maybe with, 3" reduces torque down the bottom end mind.

 

Is this an expensive job having the MAF rescaled?

 

Well I only have the cat that is directly after the turbo in my exhaust system. and I'd rather have the mid range punch than the low down torque as I don't do many launches anyhow

 

 

id say your close to that anyway mate as your not far off the pace of mine.

Im fairly certain thats a sports cat on yours so you should easily clear 300 probably nearer 320/330 what do you think mark.

 

I'm assuming that's a no then

 

i have your number Tom, i'll text you mine later, i'm on the phone at the min, we can have a chat tomorrow.

 

ive got a 20g mint condition only 6 months old brought it from garage dku h knows its a very good turbo 380 pound to wmi member. just an offer if your going down 20g route

 

310

 

At least on the bright side my slight lack of power is made up by my youthful handsomeness and as I'm not passing as fast as everyone else I get seen by everyone

I think it needs looking at to determine what my potential power is and what I can hope to achieve

 

Already got a Harvey 20g sat in the kitchen mate

 

food dispencer.

 

Would that be the 20g That Gem is planning on putting in a box with my address on it?

 

nooo dont do it, unless you go aftermarket ecu with antilag

 

I'm only winding him up mate, you should see some of the text conversations we have

 

i did wonder i was sort of fireing it at Andy but through you, you do take the **** out of each other a lot.

 

This is my dilemma, my VF doesn't spool up till 3500rpm anyway so I thought an extra 500 wouldn't matter but the more I think about it the more I think it will make a massive difference

 

Yes it's because he fancies me and I keep turning him down lmfao

 

Sounds like some kind of gay love affair!!

 

how can it sound like one if I keep turning you down

 

??

20g with the standard ECU is fine. There are gains to be had with aftermarket ECUs of course, but not necessary. Unless of course you want to run more than 1.55 bar without turning safety features off lol.

Newage STi's are a lot more responsive with big turbo than old classics due to the AVCS.

Also, the 20G turbo doesn't suffer from compressor surge like the standard vf35 and so comes on boost harder once it spools.

Lots more to say on the subject.. but honestly.. I'm on my phone and can't be bothered lol

 

Sod it I'm just going to do it and find out the hard way lol.

 

It will hurt without lube or are you on about your turbo again?

 

This is true, however speak to anyone thats got a 20g and they'll say its laggy as ****.

stop being lazy, your lazyness missed you a good day Sunday.

 

It's all in good fun mate and is quite clean and innocent compared to some of the things that get said on the phone or via text
