hi all,

looking for some more power from the ph2 172, ive looked into matched inlets, remap and decat, all seem to prove good gains for noise and performance. i curently have a cat back stainless steel and an itg pannel filter.
my question is what order to do the above in, if anyone could help that would be great

thanks guys

Do the decat and inlets whenever you fancy, then once those are done, get it remapped. Don't expect much from it though !

Many have gone down this road before. Good luck finding that elusive extra power.

bit like that is it.... hmmm..... whats the best to do first then? will i get a flat spot with a decat?

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Decat will make it rev a bit more freely, inlets will help it pull well from 1500RPM in my experience.

Remap done properly should mean all is fine as you want it to be !

However, don't expect to gain 30% more power. Just nicer and easier to drive. If my car had 5% more power over standard, I'd have been surprised.

okay thanks for the reply would you recomend ktec for a remap?

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Never had any of my cars remapped, so no I can't recommend them.

Do some homework on here as to who is best to go to... IMO, don't bother with a remap. Will make it fractionally faster, and you might see 2mpg better, but the £3-400+ you've spent will take a looong time to pay for itself in fuel.

rs tuner is always a cheap option, certainly makes the car feel more powerful in the lower revs and more fun to drive. RS tuning seem to have a good rep for tuning as well
