The great big MK6 Golf 118TSI tuning thread

Nice one. Although part of me wonders why he didn't just supercharge a faster car.

Because you can?? There's plenty of small sub groups of nut bags willing to push the limits just for the fun of it all

Love it.

Stock internals?! I'm sure if I just browse the purchase page for a k03 hybrid my Pistons will crack.

Yeah, if you read through the thread, it's not until later on he moved to forged parts.

At the start is was 240whp on stock internals, almost 170kW at the wheels isn't too shabby for a 1.4

Ha! That's the funniest thing I've heard all day.

I got an oil leak just by installing a flat bottom steering wheel this month.

Hey Mk R. Why didn't you get me one? I'm still looking

What's your budget?

[rygreen93]

Not much haha. Hoping to find one off a wrecked manual. I saw one for $200 and missed it. All the rest have been a bit much. I don't mind if it's a GTI or R one.

So Lucas suggested using the stock downpipe with a high flow cat. What is everyone's opinion of this? Is there really much more of a benefit going for a bigger pipe or is 80% of the benefit going to come from the cat.

I suspect the cat holds you back more than the pipe diameter. Some guys keep the stock pipe but knock out the car totally. Car would throw a code for no cat but you can get a flash for that.

I'd be interested in understanding what the power output of a stock cat vs high flow vs no cat on these engines is.
