Good man. Did you go for the sports cat or decat? And how much do they charge for the new map?
Can't wait to see your results, I think it's only a matter of time til I do the same, but maybe with a Loba or APR fuel pump.

Went for the 200 cell sports cat - didn't want the hassle of the decat.
They are gonna charge £90 for the remap tweak (I probably wouldn't have done this if you hadn't mentioned it).
Next year I am planning to go for the LOBA HPFP and S3 Intercooler, then go up to the next stage remap (widely known as the stage 2 remap).
AJP:
I think our cars are taking identical paths by the sound of it! I'm going to go for the R32 style system, just need to pick up an R32 bumper.
90 quid isn't too bad.
From what I've read you should break 260bhp, and gain plenty of torque across the rev range. Bet you can't wait!
rashg60:
I thought about the R32 style system but wanted to keep the car looking close to stock as possible. I also love the stock suspension set-up and will not be changing that. At the moment the stock brakes are coping quite well and again I'd like to keep these standard too.
Yes - very excited about next Friday. Can't wait to be honest.
It's good that we are going down similar paths - I don't want to 'over do it' though, hence will stop after this. Only if I think I need more power I may go for the stage 2, but realistically, the way the car is performing and sounding at the moment, I wouldn't want to ruin it.
rashg60:
By the way this now means I am selling my stock OEM system, including downpipe and cats.
It came off my car at 66,750 miles and is in very good condition.
Please contact me for any further information.
