Stage 1 Re-Map, should I buy and fit a filter first?

Hi Robin, this is where it goes a bit 'grey'! I mean, i am planning to have a Twintake, then full TBE (BCS), then a custom map (1.5) from R-Tech, hoping that i will get perhaps 260bhp, maybe even a bit more, but i am being told conflicting comments reference the HPFP, you for example are suggesting that it is better to have it, others are stating categorically that it's not required unless you are having a Stage 2+ (R-Tech Stage 2)!? I have a Mk V Golf GTi..

All comments welcome, as most confused now!

my understanding was that it's map dependent

if the map isn't requesting more fuel than the pump can deliver then what's the problem? if you're going for a custom map then the tuner should map the car to within the limits of the hardware, right?

gigolo456:
ahhh, ok, i am hoping then that R-Tech will take into account the fact that i will not have a HPFP and custom the map accordingly!?

....From what I know of Nick, they most certainly will. You are in good hands with someone who knows the 2.0T FSI engine and not in the predicament like someone else who has posted about their disaster.

Have spoken to the Guys at R Tech and have given me great advice. Thanks Ben :happy2:

Slippery slope is looming but finances will dictate!

Hence will prob go for just the Stage 1 map without filter/downpipe etc first.

Then when I get back from Afghan early next year will spend some of my hard earned on new exhaust, filter, brakes, wheels.............. :laugh:
