A £99 remap = trouble imho.

Its quite possible to get 200bhp without a map, just ask JayMD on here.

I think the single biggest improvement is a nice unrestrictive exhaust like a Blueflame, and they are pretty easy to DIY fit

i own an octavia with a 1.8T engine and i have also spent my hard earned(pfft) on a blueflame exhaust and i can honestly say i noticed no difference what so ever and thats also having a remap/tip/intake/fmic fitted and tbh i wouldn't do it again.

leave the standard filter/exhaust/pipes etc and get a simple generic remap as it will get you about 215-220bhp for about £400 or so then pay out another £100 on the tip, £150 on a decent cold air intake , £600 on a turbo back exhaust and £700 on a fmic to gain another 10-15bhp.

admitidly the fmic helps you keep the power on hot days but the rest i would forget personally and thats speaking from experience.

you either go for just a basic remap and nothing else or the whole hog with big turbo, LSD etc etc as on the standard turbo etc its simply not worth it.

Did you have a catback bengie or a full system from the downpipe?

turbo back and its very boomy around 70mph, does my head in.

got to drive at either 50 or 90 in order for it to be reasonable volume wise :(

Could be that being an estate the rear box does not exit the bodywork in the same way that it does on the hatcback?

I have a turbo back Blueflame on my hatch and no problems at all with any booming sounds.

Ah, cheers. Ill keep my wallet in my pocket then!

not sure gerry but something is definitly different as mines super loud on motorways :(

its either the exit being under the car and behind the bumper or its down to the size of the boxes.

think i might give blueflame a call

either that or your just getting old bengie :sofahide:

I would have thought a remap would be cheaper or same price as a full exhaust system, and twith much better results.

Not really i paid £450 for a remap and gained 25bhp, and paid £700 for a full turbo back and gained an extra 23bhp.

hmmm.

Remap is like night and day, both torque and bhp is increased. Exhaust is a minor increase in comparision, iam sure many will agree with me.

not at all, its just ******* loud.

I think that almost 50bhp increase from standard is like night and day,you wont gain that from a remap alone.

Thats true.

Imo a remap would defo be the most cost effective option though due to the torque increases,which at the end of the day puts the smile on your face.

im am still surprised at a 23bhp increase for the exhaust tbh.

what was the dyno cell temperature on your run?

bang for buck a remap simply cannot be beaten.

thats becasue an exaust alone won't gain you 23bhp on a car like ours. a 600-700bhp car might gain 23bhp from an exhaust.

23bhp gain on your car is a 12.5% gain on an already tweaked car which isn't going to happen.

:iagree:

Check the graph,see for yourself

your old exhasut must have been fubar in order to gain that much then as the exhasut really isn't worth that much at all.

my car went to jabba and had a samco tip, fmic, remap and cai fitted and came out with 226bhp, i then got a blueflame turbo back system fitted and never got above about 202bhp anywhere else.

your pre exhaust figure sounds a bit low is all making your exhasut gains look better.

Kenny,

What was on page two of the printout???

Any info as to air temps, afr, boost pressure reading across the graph during the run etc, and as it is showing 195.3bhp at only 5003rpm, I assume this to be wheel power figures, where are the figures for the drag loss, are they on page two?

Nobody is having a go, its just very, very strange, nigh on impossible to get these sort of increases you quote (228bhp & 231 lb ft torque) with just what you have done.

have you got the 228bhp graph?

have you got the 228bhp graph?

That is the 228bhp graph 195.3@ the wheels =228php@ the flywheel.

that is unusual to not have a corrected graph.

Temps are a little lower than i've seen on a dyno too.

It's cold up here in Scotland Mike
