Hi,
Great forum this and this is my first post, been reading for the last few days on what to do with the car I'm due to be picking up at the weekend. I'm changing my S6 for a 2001 210 S3 and I'd like to modify it a little.
As I said I've read lots of threads on this already but I'd like some advice on what to do. The car already has a BMC CDA intake system and a powerflow quad exhaust with, I'm led to believe, replacement free-flow cats. I was planning on having it remapped as I tend to think even a 225 car (which I've driven) is a touch underpowered. I've read on here that 210/225 cars remap to pretty much the same power?
What I'd like to know is would the S3 I'm getting respond well to that with it's current modifications? Also, what would be the best remap to go for? Plenty of options out there, Revo, Custom Code etc and lots of them talk about stage 1 or stage 2.
Also, do you think it would be a good idea to fit the replacement recirculating vale thing from forge motorsport, excuse my lack of knowledge on it but those in the know will be aware of what I'm talking about - thoughts please.
What I'm after really is some recommendations on what would put the biggest smile on my face, without having to upgrade the turbo and spend a fortune.
Cheers - Chris

.... im still unconvinced of the benefits of changing the DV to a Forge item, for me its a sales tact, although there are lot that have done it...... my OEM one has lasted over 12 months now and costs £20 to replace if it were to go - you pays ya money etc
