I have an 8L 1.8T (2001)
It's a AUM engine, K03s turbo, has a full milltek exhaust (manifold back) with race cat, forge 007p dv and K&N air filter. It's dyno'd at 199.1 BHP. I'm led to believe that these engines with turbo are capable of quite a few more horses.
What I was wondering is should I get another remap for the extra BHP or is it worth fitting FMIC etc and remap it to stage 2?
i'm aware for stage 2 I need some extra water works like the FMIC and the T piece etc, but what exactly do I need to get in order to squeeze some more horsepower from it. I was looking for a forge FMIC but is it worth spending the big bucks or just go for something a bit cheaper?
Or am I better off leaving everything alone and keeping it at the 199BHP?
