As above. Any one in notts have or had an R32 with a stage 1?
I know the gains won't be like what we see on forced induction applications but was just after some opinions and maybe a shotgun
:smiley:
-
I never felt it necessary Mike. All they seem to do is cock up the throttle sensitivity.
-
To make it feel faster? Just a throttle map?

For a friend :happy2:
I've had an itch for a Tfsi MkII golf or Ibiza Cupra R recently :scared:

I thought it was probably for a fwend.
Point him/her towards R32OC forum perhaps? Likely to be more R32 related info there. Mk4? Mk5? .:R

Aftermarket exhaust to better enjoy that glorious V6, Haldex Controller with Race setting, seem to be the most enjoyable mods on the .:R. Otherwise it's spending megabucks on turbo's or superchargers.
-
Evoms intake, exhaust and if you are feeling rich go for cats and headers to go with the exhaust. You will probably also need a map to stop warning lights if you go that route.
I never felt the need for a Haldex controller on mine either and would probably only recommend it if you're going on track.

....Oooh, I don't agree. I have driven a Mk5 .:R with Haldex switch in 'Race' mode and loved it on the road - It transforms its handling I found. Tested all the Haldex settings on the same piece of road and, if I owned a R32 it would be in Fun Race mode all the time.

EVOMS intake on these are awesome, really free up top end... Maps give 10bhp, but just make it more responsive, and breath a little better up top, doesn't give much... money spent better on H&R ARB's... :drinking:

Don't wast money on maps or cams or cats on the r32 it's not worth it for the gains a mate had everything done and made about 30bhp ish :signLOL: even had cams done too I walked up with the ed30 when new and said a map and I get around 300bhp :signLOL: he was a bit p1ssed off

Emerald management help make it to 300?
-
Nope.
-
Take it to AMD... They will get '300bhp' out of it :-)

LOL... APS in brackley only just managed to get 300bhp, and that was with cams, cats, full exhaust, intake, flowed head, remap...
-
AMD could get 300Hp from an standard R32 at their rollers lol.
For some reason, despite the fact i know it will be alot slower than what i have, i want an r32 :laugh:
Add the cams, intake, exhaust and remap; expensive for only a 20-30hp gain, but still, 280hp of NA power with loads of traction and that noise :drool: :drool:
I've read a fair amount about guys throttles maps being ruined after a remap on their R32's, which to me means the tuners are making the throttle map more aggressive to make it feel like the car is faster than what it is, kinda the reverse of the linear throttle map i guess.

APS seem to be a popular place. they have a 300r package but openly admit its more like 270-280hp lol

R32's are for winners! :evilgrin:
-
doeasnt make sense, its slower, costs much more to fuel, trax, insure and run, yet i want one :laugh:
Would rather an r36 but they are holding their money to well at te moment

....Lock Captain Sensible in the garden shed, Sy! You want one because you are a true enthusiast and enjoy the exhaust music of a V6 (also a V8 and V12). :happy2:
I went to a speed hillclimb (third time this month) yesterday and was talking to some folks I met there and we all agreed that if quiet electric/hybrid cars ever took over from petrol (Heaven forbid!), motorsport events would be much less enjoyable to go to. It's what Sticky Vicky once said at Goodwood's FoS about a car she drove up their so-called 'hillclimb': It's very fast, but extremely lacking in sound. Very disappointing and thumbs down.

Been looking at getting a r32 as well,but the tax is putting me of

No Mike the Emerald can only do the same job as the standard ECU.

Not from mine they didn't. Must have been having an accurate week. :surprised:

Think that was just an accurate day, as we all made normal figures that day. Ive used them plenty of times and made way more :driver:
