What did you and your MK2 do today?

Ah right yeh I know that in conjunction with a remap you can get it upto 208bhp. But just thought that you had seen an increase in performance coz you only sayed about a dpf removal and still managed to keep up with other cars lol

Aye mate, it's pure guesswork on my part, just based on how it goes. It was a mate that drives a big beemer that first thought it had been mapped, he reckoned it felt more powerful than his car. I need to get it onto a dyno to be sure, but I'm happy enough with it for now.

I'm confused (not hard I know), so the DPF delete has been undeleted?

If this is the case then how would there be any performance increase noticed if the part is still there?

I must be missing something obvious here lol

 

[unsheenashashin]

Again, as I understand it, you can get rid of the dpf altogether, and replace it with just a pipe. That's an mot fail. The other way is cut it open, remove the internals, re-weld and re install it. That's a pass, cos the tester just has to see that it's there, that's what's been done on mine, as far as I can make out.

There's a place near me that keeps the dpf in place but removes all internals/filter elements. So MOT testers think it's really there and working fine.

Aye the old cut, gut and weld up.

I'd be worried if YOU can tell there's no DPF...

Is that not a delete then? Surely just leaving the carcass in doesn't class as "having a DPF"

Correct but as the mot regs are there is only a visual check. So might aswell gut the original weld it back up engine side refit it, map it DPF out and get it remapped.

No point with a delete pipe as they fail mots.

That's what confused me, the initial claim that the DPF was there when it's not.

Thought I was going a little mad.

My bad, maybe I didn't explain it clearly.

I'd agree with that

I did say I'm no expert, wind your necks in lads.

I thought you were just being modest

Just took a drive into town and saw this

Some poor bloke in a K1/FR BTCC (couldn't tell from where I was) had some knob in an s-line A3 pull out infront of him. Gutted for you.

Now that looks lush mate!

Must admit, it looks pretty decent
