Next performance mod for my ed30
Lucastheone92:
Alright guys? Recently had a stage 1 remap for my edition 30 (posted photo of gains below). Just wondering if anyone could suggest what could be done next in terms of performance? R tech have suggested I change my cam followers at next service but I will prob be doing this earlier than this for piece of mind!

Downpipe and fuel pump upgrades will be the biggest benefit on a stock engine.

Any suggestions on which down pipe and fuel pump upgrades? Sorry I'm not very clued up on this sorta thing. Is it just an upgrade to my HPFP?

Downpipe wants to be 3" and if you're going for a sport cat rather than decat make sure it's from a decent brand. Powervalve, Milltek etc. If you're just doing a decat then some of the more affordable brands seem ok. A decat is just a pipe, after all.
Yes HPFP stands for High Pressure Fuel Pump. It's a known weak point on the TFSI. Look at Loba or APR.
Those are the two biggest bottlenecks at this stage.

Awesome thanks for the info. Will a 3" down pipe fit onto the rest of the standard exhaust? And does a decat effect MOT?
