tuning mods on tdi fr 170

[pye1903]

Hi guys still really new to all this stuff especially with a diesel engine.

I'm looking for decent upgrades and mods to do to my engine.
I was thinking about doing the egr delete and dpf delete I was also thinking of getting the darkside developments uprated s3 intercooler with the hard pipe kit. Don't know what else apart from a remap but don't know what the gains would be roughly with the intercooler. Or should I never mind the intercooler and get the other stuff

Ditch the intercom let and get handling mods

What mods would you recommend then matey I'm in the process of deciding on which wheels to run. I fancy the rota grid drifts in 19s and a nice stance on coilovers but like a said not that experienced in this stuff

All depends what you want which direction etc, everyone's different, I'd be happy with poly bush kit, H&R springs rather than coil overs, maybe spacers, straight through exaust, with DPF and EGR delete, but that's just me

 

[pye1903]

Never thought of the poly bush set up to be honest cheers for that lol erm as for the h&r springs how low would you recommend without ruining the ride

Personally I wouldnt go for 19's.

Remap, dpf gutted, panel filter if you want one. Standard intercooler is good as it is.

H&Rs lower around 40mm. They can be had off eBay for £140.

decent springs and standard dampers piss all over a set of cheap coil overs

Any reco9mmendations on the poly bush kit or is Powerflex the main choice?

There's polybush, superpro, powerflex, whiteline but to name a few.
