Performance gains

Guys,

I'm in the process of having clutch and lfy wheel replaced after much raping of my poor car.

Any how this has now got me thinking about a remap.

I understand that a remap gives me more torque and more power, however i've been offered a remap and a militek exhaust (cat back) for a good price also.

Would i see any significant change if a remap with the exhaust as aposed to just getting it remapped.

What other things should i consider whilst making these changes.

BTW its a mk4 06 1.9Tdi FR

Thanks

Depends if the Miltek is a turbo back or cat back.

Turbo back will run a Decat which will help spool the turbo quicker and will produce slightly better figures.

Cat back will make no difference bar a bit of noise.

Hardware before software though.

I'm pretty much concluded on the remap for economy but i see what youre saying about the down pipe and decat.

Perhaps just a remap and leave the standard pipe in place.

Ok after a bit of searching i'm a tad confused.

I'm being told a decat will fail its mot (derv). But some folks here have passed anyway.. is it a test essential that a cat is present or does it just have to pass a smoke test?

Diesels don;t need to have a Cat. Only cars that get a full emmissions test need a cat

Oh thats grand.

Anyone know if PTorque still offer a remap and down pipe decat special?

Thanks.

i have a stage 1 revo remap on mine to a qouted 170bhp and 280ft/lb torque and i honestly could not reccomend them more. done over 6000 since then and it hasnt gone wrong. fuel economy is similar and you can seriously feel the difference

Mine passed the M.O.T no problem, no adviseries, mines decatted with a seat sport backbox which is nearly straigh through!
