Anyone got milltek headers and cat pipes for their R32?

yeah that's the price you pay for NA improvements!
(not sure if i'd do it again - prob get a turbo car next time though).

Yeh m8 4-8kws mmm not worth it....

i should clarify it's not just those kW, but what the car gains with all three mods (retune, headers and airbox) - 25kW at the fly approx.

I agree not cheap, but a damnsight cheaper than forced induction and doesn't change the cars characteristics too much. Always puts a smile on your dial.

Iam stikin to Na. I find on a cool day the R runs really nice so yeh a cold air duction system would be nicer.especially for the hotter days...Bump the fuel up to a 102-104 spec but i cant justify headers for some reason.

NA does have a satisfying throttle and no lag which i like about it more predictable too.

You wont get any gains from 100 RON if the car isn't tuned for it. The BMC CDA does have a cold air duct but ram air still doesn't make that much difference on an NA (but the carbon intake sounds cool).

JVLR32 be careful with the BMC intake if you are going to run the car in any CAMS tarmac rally events as they are not legal to run, I had to remove mine but we found that using the Euro spec intake from the MKIV DSG R32 we got the same grams per second intake of air as I did with the BMC. It has a much larger intake pipe to ours and with a K&N filter performs the same as the BMC.

The APR will take the tune for the higher fuel....

Thanks Al..interesting thanks for that...Are using a higher fuel in your car? 102,104 etc

Are you talking about the brand new R32 APR tune? There is a 100 octane tune but not a 100 RON tune as far as i know. Even if you did do that you'd have to spend extra on the fuel (which may or may not be worth it) and as soon as you're stuck putting 98 or lower in it wont perform.

DMS is tuned for 98 RON.

Yes I use 104 on events and have the APR code, they used my car to develop it for the Aus spec cars.

It has also been customised for me by APR to allow left foot braking without cutting the throttle, Guy has the file still just request it from him if you want it.

Ive done a car with Miltek headers , its expensive , but if your chasing every last hp nothing will be cheap . And for the record its not a bolt on fit
