Hi all,
I have an AMK S3 that has done 80k and has the following modifications:
'Generic' stage 1 map by Jabba from ~2007
Autobahn88 TIP
Green panel filter in smoothed air box(!)
Forge 007 with revised piston
I have driven approximately 45,000 miles at this level of tune without any real issue. It has only once ever hit limp mode.
I'm considering eeking a little more out the old girl without replacing the rods, turbo, exhaust manifold, down pipe or exhaust.
The parts I am considering replacing are:
Badger5 80mm v3 TIP and (possibly) cone filter
FMIC - probably Airtec, although seems a bit of an unknown, but likely to be suitable for my goals?
BBT actuator - 10psi (?)
New N75 - if required?
New fuel pump as it takes longer to start when down to a 1/4 tank of fuel
Remap - Probably from Rtech - You're just too far away Bill!
So my questions are:
Does the list look sensible?
I have access to VAGCOM (not VCDS). What logs could I record to get an idea of the engines current health?
Considering the current remap on the car, what would be the safest route of replacing the above hardware before getting a new remap? Happy to drive with N75 disconnected if necessary.
Finally, what sort of figures might be achieved from the above changes assuming the car is otherwise healthy?
Thanks.
