Title: Hpfp upgrade or decat??
Post by: Sprati31 on September 20, 2015, 08:51:05 am

Which would people prefer to do first?
I know they will both be needed at some point but which one would be the best choice if you only had the money for one at a time?

HPFP, even on my stock ECU mapping it made a noticeable improvement. Then again, I'd never do a decat as they're more hassel than they're worth for the few extra BHP/torque gains.

Hpfp for huge midrange gains, decat for higher rpm gains. Hpfp high torque mapping will ruin a standard clutch rather quickly (unless DSG) so factor in an upgraded Helix kit from AKS Tuning

Neither mod on there own will add that much without suitable mapping
