Mook Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Welcome to Tyresmoke Hi. Depends where in the country you are. AmD if you're in the South, or APS Brackley if you're in the Midlands. Are you sure you want the non-res centre section. I ran a non-res on my Mk4 R32 and it was way too loud. Resonated centre section and you can still hear the exhaust, but it's not chavtastic. Adding a K&N or Green Cotton filter wouldn't make any significant difference that you'd notice and the remap wouldn't be set up to take advantage of it. If you wanted to add 3-4 bhp more to it, then fit a cold air intake (CAI) - not sure who makes one for the Mk5 R32 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazza_g Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 What will a Mk5 R32 remap to? I see the point of the Milltek (go non-res by the way, I did!) but always struggled with remapping n/a engines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burble Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Are you sure you want a non res Milltek? I've heard a couple in person and would hate for my car to sound like that. Far, far, far, far too loud and boomy. The resonated cat back on the other hand I think sounds great. That's why I bought one If you wanted to go down the CAI route then there's Gruppe M (fecking expensive) and EVOMS (or Evolution Motorsport as they're actually called) amongst others. I've got an EVOMS kit on my R32. For panel filters stay away from the K&N filters, apparently they have a habit of leaching oil into the MAF and killing the probe. Pipercross are a good option. I can't comment on AMD as I've never used them but I've used APS in Brackley loads of times and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. Don't go expecting miracles form a remap, it'll smooth out the power curve a bit which will make it easier and more predictable to drive but it won't give much real world power increase. At one stage I had a stage 1 Revo on my R32 which was nice, it gave it a bit more mid range grunt. I then went a bit further and had a set of Schrick cams installed and a custom remap. All done by the boys at APS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
