All Things Mk5 > Performance Modifications
Input from all members with Modified Cars...

Hi guys,
Well this is the first week of ownership, I'm looking to continue the work Gadget did to the car, but before I get the credit card out I could do with the input of all that has had any of the modifications I plan done so I know if its worth while, if ppl would suggewst a differnet route...etc...
The mods I plan over the next few weeks are...
1) BSH PCV Stage 2 Fix Catch Can System - Does it really help?! Any gains?!
2) DSG Remap - Going from Hurdy this is a MUST!
3) Milltek Downpipe and Cat with new Map - Power Different I will see?! Sound different?!
4) High Pressure Fuel Pump - Apparently not required till Stage 2+?!
The car at the moment is what APS call there stage 2...Map, Performance Filter, Cat-Back! So realistically, what should I do next?! Stage 3 for APS, would be a new map and the rest of the Exhaust (would this be where i'd require the HPFP?! or is this if I go over this)...
Thanks in advance for all your help...

Will cure the problematic tfsi oem pcv and help keep things cleaner
2) DSG Remap - Going from Hurdy this is a MUST!
If its a dsg car then yes a dsg map :) lol i would recommend REVO
3) Milltek Downpipe and Cat with new Map - Power Different I will see?! Sound different?!
When adding a downpipe and exhaust you usually couple with with a stage 2 map, the sound will defo change with this mod, less backpressure means different grunt
4) High Pressure Fuel Pump - Apparently not required till Stage 2+?!
If you want to take things further then the pump can help push in more fuel at a higher rate in the midrange resulting in more powaaah ! however you will also need a cold air intake, maybe an intercooler upgrade and possibly a new diverter valve.
I havn't heard of APS? do they have any info online about their maps?

Well,
1. Helps stop boost leakage, doesn't add power. Needs emptying regularly.
2. It is a must - get down to Statllers and tell them I sent you :happy2:
3. Milltek/ aftermarket full turbo-back exhaust is a very good option. It helps the engine rev freer and frees up some extra horsies through the whole rev band. If you like a loud zorst, go for non-resonated. If you like it a little quieter, go for a resonated one. If you like, you can pop over to mine and I'll take you for that spin I promised and you can listen to a resonated system and check out the power from the REVO at stage 2+.
4. You will not see much benefit from a HPFP unless you map the car to utilise it. Again Statllers have them in stock at about £300 and £50 fitting.
If you wanted to stick with APS and go stage 3 you would require the HPFP, a full intake and a full turbo-back exhaust to get the most benefit. To keep it all cool you would also be wise to invest in either a THS intercooler or a Forge FMIC. :happy2:
HTH :smiley:

PURCHASED :happy2:

This is going to be my first real spend!

Problem I have at the moment is the fact I'll end up spending lots more money haha, if I get the Downpipe + Cat to bolt on to the existing Cat-Back I'll definatly require another map...need to get this RR'd see what is kicking out already ;)

Sounds like a lot of money involved hahaha

Any ideas on Cost?! Rang them, Main guy isnt there so no price :(

Got the Non-Res Cat-Back on the car, so will just get a Downpipe and Cat to finish the system off I think ;) Just need to see the costs involved in mapping it again!!!
4. You will not see much benefit from a HPFP unless you map the car to utilise it. Again Statllers have them in stock at about £300 and £50 fitting.

HTH :smiley:
I was only really looking to stay at Stage 2...With a Non-Res Turbo Back Milly and DSG Map! Anything else I need?!
