Thanks.
It would be clutches, exhaust, springs and bushes really. I've heard Shark Performance is the place to go for a remap. |

Exhaust - go custom, if you're near Leeds I'd highly recommend Tony Banks. Springs - Eibach/H&R, Coilovers - avoid cheap ones, look at Bilstein/BC/KW Polybushes - Powerflex really... The rear wishbone bush is REALLY worth doing. Other mods - Uprated rear anti-roll bar: Whiteline/IPD/etc, K&N Air Filter That's about it, there is stuff like DPF/EGR disabling (ILLEGALLLLLL), hybrid turbo (not easy), but not much else really... A stage 1 remap is enough for most people and I have a Shark tune on my car which has been on the car for nearly 20k. For a manual car you're looking at 215bhp/530nm.

Quick question. Is a clutch needed for a stage 1 map? Also what is the benefit of the DPF/EGR delete? What sort of price is that? |

But certaintly for Shark's Stage 1 - it is fine. With 530nm I can make my clutch slip the tiniest bit at full throttle in 6th gear at around 2-2.2k rpm, however if I am doing full throttle accelleration I wouldn't change into 6th at 60mph... My opinion based on what I've read and been told from user experience that 550nm is about as far as you want to take it if you want to maintain the integrity of the clutch disc and plate - they can take 600+nm but it will won't be long before the disc starts getting scored and the clamping plate can no longer hold it down. DPF delete benefits are much less restricted exhaust gas flow, downsides are that it is illegal... Any evidence of tampering to the DPF or smoke on emissions test will be a fail and if reported a fine. EGR delete benefits are that exhaust gases are not recyled into the inlet manifold of the engine - this can cause throttle bodies and the inlet manifold itself to become badly coked up with COAL. Downsides are that it will take long for your engine to reach optimum running temperature, especially in winter. Price varies from garage to garage, but they cannot advertise such services. DPF Delete + Remap can cost anywhere from £400 upwards for a D5.
