hi everyone me and the wife recently purchased our first joint car together its a 2001 206 gti 138 in moonstone silver, has 107k on the clocks and is a pretty tidy car seeing as its 13 years old
since purchasing a couple of weeks ago i have done the following
new front discs and pads
sportex oval back box
new oe centre section
k&n panel filter
new oil and filter
new plugs
removed and cleaned throttle bodie and refitted
the car is really good to drive it feels well balanced and has a very strong torquey 2.0 16v engine in there, but anyone that knows about this engine knows that it was restricted quite a bit by peugeot themselves mainly by a terrible inlet manifold, crappy exhaust manifold which also rattles like hell (common fault) and a very conservative engine map
so i have already purchased an ecosse full 4-1 exhaust manifold which sees some impressive gains on its own, coupled with a set of uprated engine mounts to eliminate any movement.
onto the inlet side of things i have decided go for the inlet from the 206 gti 180 which is far superior in design but is not a straight fit, to fit ill need the following
180 alternator
306 gti 6 throttle bodie and icv
custom adapter
i understand that just by fitting the inlet the average gains are around 10-15bhp.
i will of course when these items are fitted be getting the car remapped to make the most out of everything and make sure all is safe.
im hoping to get the car on a hub dyno before we carry out these mods to see what we have to work with.
but this weekends plan weather permitting is to give the car a real good detail as its in need of it.
i will get some pics up for you all tomorrow evening
