Hi, couple of questions for the folks running increased power ..... does anyone have anything concrete on gains from a stage one re map, ive seen roller graphs showing 30 bhp ish and 40 lb ft torque gain but what does this translate into in real life driving?
Has anyone run santa pod or similar before and after a re map to see what the actual on the road differences are ?, i would imagine 30 bhp would gain you 3 mph on your terminal speed and knock 3-4 tenths off your run time .....would that be a fair estimate?
People say the drive is transformed, much faster etc but i would like something more than what it just feels like because feel can be very deceptive.
Also on a slight tangent, when boost is raised on the standrd turbo do you start to get high mid range boost spike which then tails at high rpm making the car feel a little breathless for the last 500-1000 rpm's as the turbo can't maintain such high boost, the standard power delivery is very nice and linear, does this alter in anyway when re mapped?
As far as exhaust mods go, i understand the pre cat gives a noticeable instant gain but is that really the only part worth doing or do you get a similar gain from going to a 200 cell sport cat and a cat back system ?
I think im going to raise the power to 240 bhp, what will i need?
Any advice please all you experts?

cheers
Dave

p.s after following an astra vxr this afto, i would like to know which exhaust system sounds like a wet fart because the astra had one and so i would like to avoid at all costs, lmao.

hello mate i had mine mapped from reddot and the first run on the rollers was 212bhp and then after the map it was 247bhp so there was a big inprovement. the mods ive got for this is vxr turbo, full powerflow exhaust, regal precat, unknown cat, courtenay pannel filter in deristricted box, solid boost pipe with collins d/v and cossie plugs. ive now added a tx front mount intercooler so im off back to reddot for a bit more fine tunning and will hopefully end up with 255-260bhp and thatss where ill stay.

Cheers, so am i reading that right, yours made 212 bhp with vxr turbo, full exhaust and induction mods but no re map?, is that about normal i would have expected a little more, or doesnt the vxr turbo give anymore power running at standard boost.
Would the standard turbo make the same power with the same mods, i thought the vxr turbo was required to go above say 255-260 bhp and that the standard turbo was good uo to that level.
All this talk of bhp but what kind of torque is that making, torque is what makes swift effortless driving after all isn't it.

the ecu on your car wont let the vxr turbo boost anymore than the standard let one thats why you need a remap. i personaly woudnt want to push the standard turbo much over 235ish to be safe.
mine is running 307lb foot at the min before the front mount was fitted so im back over to reddot very soon to see the new figgers.

Tom, 269 is very high for stage 1 isnt it?, what started to go wrong and why ?
what turbo is your cupra running the ko4-23?

Tomgezza, over 300lb ft must feel good.

so in my case if i want 240 i will be at the safe limits of the turbo.
What mods will achive this figure safely....im thinking
pre cat
de restricted air box
re map

what do you reckon, would that work or do i really need a front mount and or the rest of the exhaust to make 240?
Cheers
Dave

yeah the ko4-23 is the cupra R turbo and anything over 275 is pushing that turbo very hard, mine had the ko4-23 hybrid from backdraft motorsport and many other mods to make a reliable 300 bhp.

What did your zaf need to make that power relaibly as there are some making 290-300 bhp on the vxr turbo aren't there.

does this fit the zaf gsi please anyone ?, i have to say it looks a very good option compared to the o.e crossover pipe.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Vauxhall-Astra-VXR-Direct-CDTi-Airbox-Conversion-Kit-/120569459715?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM

Would one of these give greater gains than just derestricting my standard airbox and fitting a k & n panel filter?
Any advice or opinions from you tuning gurus?
cheers
Dave

p.s what is oil restrictor bolt?

One of the handy things about the cdti 1.9 airbox mod is that you can get to the plugs easier and you can also keep the top of the engine/rocker cover area cleaner and change the rocker gasket if it leaks without removing anything else
