dp for gti question??

aidogti:
hi lads i was just wondering is ok to just fit an uprated downpipe?

do  i need to fit full system?

will i still get performance gains?

is the rest of the stardard  system compatible wit the down pipe or is it a waste
without the full system?

Janner_Sy:
you can fit a perfomance down pie and cat with the standard system just fine, the only problem is you will get an engine check light on your dash, the best way to get a round that is to get a stage 2 remap

aidogti:
what other mods would i have to do for stage 2, my car is only standard at the mo wit a carbonio intake on the way,
do you have to stage 1 first? will i benefit wit stage 1 and a dp?

Janner_Sy:
if your standard id say scrap the idea of a DP for the time being and just go stage 1.

but if you really want the DP then you need a stage 2 map. youwont need to have stage 1 before hand you can go straight to stage 2 from nothing. all that is reuqired as a minimum is the downpipe. idealy you would have an intake as well though

I agree with Sy. Better to go Stage1 first for a couple of reasons: One so you can experience the differences and feel what suits you; Two not to hit your new car with too much at once and establish all is well with Stage1.

You don't have to change from a Carbonio when Stage2 (I didn't) but spending nearly £300 on a high-flow tubular intake will give greater performance gains, but ONLY if you have other performance mods in place. Beware the slippery slope of modding!

The only reason I changed from the Carbonio to Forge Twintake was to better compliment all my other mods.

If you haven't done modding before (I hadn't) then step by step is a great way to learn and know what does what and also, IF you have problems it's so much easier to identify what's causing them. On the other hand, if you are already experienced, you know what to do and if have funds available can hit it all at once - So, that's £25k for the new car and an instant +£10k for the mods you 'need'.

Are you still happy you joined modders anonymous this forum?  :evilgrin:
