Post by: 18Edition30 on November 28, 2013, 01:40:44 pm

Can I expect hear more noise once fitted?

Will it throw a CEL?

Does it matter driving it without being mapped in until a few weeks?

Will it be quicker??!!!! Lol

Car is stage 1 eddy APR with vwr intake and milltek cat back.

Cheers.

Thought it would make turbo spool quicker? So car should be quicker?

It will make a small difference as there is no pre-cat in the milltek (which is in the standard one) so maybe 5bhp extra.

Will only make really difference if you go to Stage 2 where the map is designed for it and need a better flow of air.

I already had the pre cat removed. I thought being bigger diameter and a 200 cel cat instead of 800 cel should all be beneficial? Or is it not till the stage 2 map is applied?
