Perhaps I should ignore the maf / boost loggings and wait till the dyno to see what its really bringing to the table. TBH i cant feel much difference from the drivers seat on the road... but maybe my car isnt adapting itself to the intake well?
End of the day i dont mind selling and running stock.
My car made 234bhp on r-tech dyno which Nick felt was a little down so suggested removing the pre cat and getting an intake... both of which I have done. I only really want 240-250bhp but would like it nice and torquey and driveable so if we can get that with just the pre cat removed in the end then I'll be happy and if its ends up that the intake isnt adding anything on my stage 1 then I'll sell it.
I guess I was expecting it to be amazing and give a noticeable difference over OEM seeing as lots of people say what a good upgrade it is.

We will see what we can do next time your down..... Remember last time you was running the turbo N75 duty flat out across the whole rpm range and only made 214bhp... There are many factors to tuning, 3-5mm pre load on the actuator and a map tweak could get you closer to 255bhp as I found out the other day and that was on a stock filter.

Thanks Nick.
I think for now I should shut up :ashamed: and go back to my stock intake and i'll bring all the bits with me on the 24th and see how we get on.

These kind of threads are for the good and benefit of all of us :notworthy:
Nick what do you think of the forge actuator?

Thanks. tbh it has been the best part of an afternoon messing about swapping it over and logging... although im not sure how informative my logs are in reality?
Also.. you are right.. Till tonight I was still under the impression that an intake, whether it be forge or itg etc, was a top priority mod for any stage of remap even stock maps.
If it only adds less than 5 bhp and 5lbft for instance then for £300+ some may not consider it a worth while mod compared to the 10-15bhp that some people seem to claim.

I have been led to believe that its a culmination of a remap, aftermarket air intake, and good exhaust system that any real gains will b seen, ie they all help each other to produce results! That said, I really feel that it was my TBE and remap that produce the biggest gains, with my Twintake being a nice 'optional extra'!

Itg must have added quite abit more for me as when I first had a remap i only made 237 bhp on stage 1.then I had pre cat taken out and added itg intake and got back to Rtech for another power run and made 256 bhp. Now unless I gained 17 bhp just from pre cat the intake must have added a fair few horses. Oh and 256 bhp was made b4 any map tweaks.
