Hi.

I'm thinking of purchasing a 2009 onwards VRS petrol.

I'm going to put a few sensible mods on. I.e. Full exhaust, induction kit and remap.

What type of rough figures would I be looking at after the remap?

Bhp? Torque? And 0-60 time?

Regards

Chris

Go onto something like the Shark Performance website, that will give you an idea of what to expect.

With a decent cold air intake and full exhaust, you could go straight to a stage 2 remap. Assuming it's the facelift you're looking at with the Tsi lump, you'd be in the 280-290bhp area with torque well over 300.

As you can imagine, this massively transforms the straight line performance. My 0-100 times went from 17 ish down to 12 ish (neither timed accurately). The torque is immense, however, was too much for my standard clutch and needed updating to a Sachs. 0-60 is obviously improved too, I've never timed it, but I did totally embarrass a modded Type R the other day.

IMO though, I wouldn't want that sort of power on the standard suspension and brakes. I would look to get those sorted as well. Maybe just a remap initially to stage 1 would be wise, that's 250-260bhp on the Tsi I believe. The standard exhaust and intake are fine for that, sort the handling then go stage 2.

That's how I did it and I'm happy I did.

Great, thanks for the advice :-)

Very good advice - stage 1 map plus suspension and brakes (I'd also say lightweight wheels too) makes a big difference.
