Ive got a 1.8t dbw model.
how can i gain more power without a remap? any ideas, is it poss?
 
bigger turbo,better air filter,better exhaust system
 
It's been prooven that uprated exaust or upraded air filter will not improve performance. Neather cause restrictions on A3/S3's.

A remap will by far be the best value for money to increase power.

Any reason why you don't want a remap?
 
no i do want a remap just tight on cash at the moment! seems like a very good way to gain more power just wandered if there were anyother secrets that someone knows about???
 
I would definatly save for a remap...best money i've ever spent!!
Not sure it's really worth doing anything else for less money???
 
Save for the remap mate. Its the best bang for buck.

The difference is night and day!

Do a search on here, you'll find plenty of good information backed up by RR figures that show what little advantage these give.

That graph seems to show a 50BHP increase. Is that just using the sport cat?

Kev.
 
it shows that changing your exhaust will provide more power unless miltek are fibbing

personally I have a remap and am happy with it for the price

Did he not say more power without a remap?

A bigger turbo needs a remap!

And air filter and exhaust will not give any noticeable power difference!

Changing your N75 valve for a more agressive valve would be the cheapest. This would increase you boost pressure slightly, but again not that noticeable.

Although a remap is about £400 or £500, it's well worth it!
 
Glen did a test a few years back on various parts at his expense and with the use of a rolling road at Star Performance. They rarely give any extra performance and a "performance" downpipe actually reduced power.
