DuncS3 Posted August 19, 2003 Report Share Posted August 19, 2003 Alledgedly you can only get 270 with the Miltek cat back, chip alone is like 10 bhp increase. On the S3 a cat back will give you basically 1 bhp (if that) - so does anyone know the deal here? (obviously I could call them and ask but hey...) Assuming the figures are correct I will be getting this when they bring out a dongle later this year (dont like physical chipping) Dunc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIKVW Posted August 19, 2003 Report Share Posted August 19, 2003 Your info's duff unfortunately; the Milltek gives more than 1bhp and the gains come from the re-map are more than 10bhp! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamR32 Posted August 19, 2003 Report Share Posted August 19, 2003 I still can't bring myself to have the car chip'ed My local V.W main dealer is a Hitler clone for sure and would like nothing more than to kick you in the nuts with his jack boots if anything went wrong while its still under warranty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuncS3 Posted August 19, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2003 I did call AMD today and they said approx 10 bhp for chip only, apparently its the exhaust that does the business...Can you post me your graphs when you get a chance as I am keen to get the conversion (cant get burnt up by my chipped S3 mates) Dunc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuncS3 Posted August 19, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2003 wait for the serial port map when that is released as I assume that will be switchable Dunc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] I would think that it's the other way around - i.e. the remap gives the most increase in power and the Milltek exhaust will only free up a few horses. When you look at the standard exhaust system there is some restriction there, but there's not a lot to improve on. From all accounts the exhaust is worth it though as it stops the boominess at 2000rpm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
