Ok I am in the latter stages of completing my cosmetic mods -- before i continue into the expense of performance mods (
exhaust ,remap and all the others that i read About--- ) can anyone confirm if these Mods give any top end speed gains
-
Most engine mods will help increase the top end speed slighlty. But you are really limited by the ratios on the gear box and the final drive ratio as to how fast the car will go.
-
Remap and Exhaust will give biggest gains dude.

Top end gains? Where can you go apart from Germany where you can use a car a more than 160mph. :stupid:
-
Top speed's not about the destination it's about how you get there :wink:
-
Thanks for the info gents --- one can go anywhere and do 160 ---only thing its legal in Germany

....Oh dear. Not another guy who thinks it's all about max top speed :rolleye:
Are you one of those guys who also does 45+ in a 30?

Are you saying with all those mods you have you drive like your driving miss daisy ?
I only put foot down on the motorway so no But I fail to understand why driving style is of import in relation to the question

....I'm only reacting and responding to your words which implied that you feel it's okay to drive 160 anywhere. Did you meam something different from what you had written? Did I misunderstand you?
-
I very much doubt a 2.0tdi is geared for 160, and you'll never get enough power out of it to shove it through the air and get there anyway.

:grin:

Best thread i have read for a while. :evilgrin: it wasn't the op who thought he had a GTI, but he joined in anyway. :laugh:

You were the one who first mentioned 160 is that not so ----all I ask about mods and top end gain and you switch the direction of the topic-- so that's not my words they are yours
-
Red robin I was replying to the 160 comment which misinterpret my question
you asked if I do 45 in 30zone which I replied I don't

....No, it was you who first mentioned 160:

But let's just put it down to misinterpretation and move on.
Remap, free-flow exhaust, and aftermarket air intake would contribute to improving performance but I don't know by how much regarding a diesel TDI. The petrol 2.0T FSI would deliver more results I expect.
-
Yeah let's move on -thanks for your input
-
Cool. A remap and a decat will extend your rev range and give you a bigger more useful powerband. The standard intake will be more than adequate as will your intercooler. Leave the engine mods there and spend the rest of the money elsewhere, as you really do need to start throwing a lot of dosh at it to get more power, and you won't achieve much.
Brakes would be first on my list, they're woeful.

Completely agree!
Sort out the 'stop' before getting more 'go' :happy2:
