Stoke's BF experience
Phil Mcavity:
Why would you need to map it, if you just want a hi flow exhaust ?? will it not be compatible with the lambda sensor?

it is compatible but the gas going through the cat is going through quicker so is not getting the cat as hot as it was before so will set you emissions light off on your dash

Be very careful, Phil - It's a very slippery slope!!
I started exactly the same way! : -
1 - Milltek just so I could hear the engine better as a driving aid.
2 - Er....The rest is history and a very loooong story you all already know well.

been a member of a mk5 gti forum for 2.5 years now, so i have good grip on my shoes Robin :signLOL: :wink:
The wheel man:
First off, good write up. Info like this is always good to read and has actually helped me in my future purchase of a map. I think that i may be in a slight minority on here but i want to feel an old school push (similar to turbo lag) when pushing through the revs. as long as the usual 1k to 3/4k pull is still there i woulddnt mind if i diddnt feel tha map till i was pushing on. Reason: Well as i just ahve the std GTi with a K03, it drops off from 5k onwards meaning you drive it similar to a Diesel and although fast, not exactly challenging or exciting (in some cases) The APR cat back has helped as i am sure the down pipe would, but a map is less reddies and will offer a bigger hit
From what you have described, the BF is a good one for this. Thanks :happy2:
