seanl82 23 Posted February 13, 2015 263s + fitting, and a remap I reckon is probably somewhere in the region of £700. Not cheap, and being the tight arse I am, I wouldn't do it for the gains they give. Obviously driveability will be improved with the remap as well, but you could get a good used stage 1 supercharger kit for not much more if you were that way inclined.

I not usually into mods and like my cars standard (unless already modded when bought). £700 far too much for me for the gains of is it 26bhp? I am happy with just 10-15 just for the remap. ONLY reason I looking into it now is maybe I gotton used to the power and feel it lacks a bit ooomph lower to mid range? And that cars in general have flat spots? But I not noticed it in mine yet...

Mk3highline 10 Posted February 14, 2015 24v conversion Swap in a 2.8 24v from a low mileage golf 4motion with a mapped ecu you will see minimum 220 bhp/ftlbs torque from a standard engine with shed load more torque down low Depends where you want to go with it in the long run I paid £300 for the engine gear box ecu wiring loom and after a sold what I didn't use old engine etc I was up £50 but I did it myself Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
