Intake waste of money?

Maybe we should take the MAF readings before and after the fitment of an intake! I'll be running my TTE420 with the standard airbox :grin: Well, to begin with at least! I like doing tuning one thing at a time and to see what the differences are :smiley:

Yes the 6R, I think the VWR kit is probably one of the best available and if my Revo ever gets annoying then I would consider going for the VWR one. From what I have read the Revo is a very good Intake with decent MAF scaling.
Not sure who does your mapping but I doubt they will be happy going for 400BHP on the Stock Airbox, Unless you are just going to run the turbo as it is and then map the car once you have fitted an aftermarket Intake?

Yeah the Revo is well liked with tuners as it frees off the top end a bit. Open intakes just aren't my bag though. Too noisy.
I'm not aiming for 400hp. 350ish initially, just to get it installed and running reliably. Then I will look into the Wavetrac diff and intake. By that time I reckon VWR's own remaps will be available, which I might look into.

I am pressuming you are in the U.K?
Ifso then I would highly recommend R-Tech, Niki has mapped many TTE420 Cars with fantastic results :happy2:

Yeah I'm in the UK!
I already have a custom dyno map, so will probably just get it tweaked accordingly :smiley:
VWR's own ECU remaps sound intriguing though, but will probably be around £1000 I reckon!

Custom Dyno map by whom?
The VWR Maps/Software will almost certainly be written by one of the well known tuning companies! Probably Revo or the likes.
