Hi guys, not been on here in a while, the last time i was it was about my golf getting remapped and dastek blowing up the turbo. Anyways got new turbo on car and its SLOW! not getting any boost from turbo sturggling to get up some hills in 3rd gear. Anyways when it went on the dyno in dastek before the turbo blew they sayed it was running at 74 bhp and had a faulty MAF sensor. I replaced the MAF sensor the other week and apprently you need one straight from the dealer to get the best out of your car not just any MAF sensor, is this true?
Now i have my car back on the road i was going to sell it after the problems but to be honest i love it too much im going to keep it and do some things to it, heres what i need help with.
The car is a mark 4 golf gt tdi 110 with 112000 miles on the clock but engine, radiator was replaced at 85000 turbo replaced 300 miles ago.
MAF sensor
Is it ture i need to get one straight from the dealer so i get the one that is ment for the car not just any one?
Panel Filter or Induction Kit
Whats best here and why? Im not looking for sound im looking to help the car beath and the performance side, even though it will be minimal.
Exhaust
Going to put a 2 or 2.5 inch stainles steel exhaust ( like old R32 ) with De-Cat Pipe. Ive always liked this look and its always better to let the air get out quicker and i know its a basic mod to start with so going for Exhaust.
Intercooler
My car just now has a side mounted intercooler, i wont a front mounted one, how easy is it to change over and how much is a new intercooler?
Remap
Ill be getting all the work done by a place called star performace http://www.starperformance.co.uk/, ive heard this is the best place in fife ( county i live in ) to take a VW to for what ever reason, serive, tune up, rolling road etc. The have quoted 140 bhp from a 110 bhp. Will this just be a map downloaded straight on or do you think this would be a cutom map.
Wheels
4 brand new 18 inch low profile tyres and new set of alloys
Brakes
Need bigger breaks to help with increase in power, any ideas on good ones?
Turbo Upgrade
I was wanting to put a twin tubo on but was thinking of maybe just a bigger turbo, what other part will i have to replace to help the engine cope?
Engine Rebuild
Ive heard people say the car engine has been rebuilt etc. What does this mean? I was going to replace things like, pistons, valves, cylinders, battery, starter motor etc but i dont know what else would need replaced to keep the engine running great and be silmilar to anohter new eingine being put in.
Nitrous
I no it might seem silly engine rebuild then nitrous but ive always wanted some and will use it once in a blue moon so wont be used regularly. Was looking for 100 HP jets.
Can anybody tell me if ive put anything in the wrong order to be done? and how much approx it would cost for all the work? Also if you could give any additional information on any part, particularly the new engine components/ rebuild that would be great.
Thanks very much
