[Mk2] [Turbo] remapping a rev 1 turbo

anyone got an idea how much power you can get with remapping a rev 1 turbo , I know there not the best for tuning but all I can think of is a remap and a turbo back system is that pretty much the best power mods you can do for this early model without changing internals. :-k , any help

thanks :D

[Mk2] [Turbo] will 540cc injectors fit onto a rev 1

allan welsh wrote:lol, yeah but I find pulling ECU A, EFI and ECU B gives a far better response that just pulling one or other. Maybe it's just rev3+ but bu88er me it does shift afterwards



do you have to have the ignition on when pulling them out or can you just do it when everything is off. #-o

[Mk2] [Turbo] do I need to buy a boost controller before I have a turbo back system fitted

I heard that when you fit a de cat/downpipe , there's an increase in boost pressure , which could cause overboosting , so do you need a boost controller to basically set the level right again. or will it be safe to run the turbo back system anyway without a boost controller. :?

[Mk2] [Turbo] can I use the standard bolts from stock/cat elbow onto downpipe

basically without having to fork out more money on bolts , can I still use the original bolts from the stock elbow/cat onto a aftermarket downpipe , or is best to buy new bolts again.
