Sports cat

Will be a little louder, few more pops, no massive bhp gain, but every little helps

 

The standard cat’s are really restrictive and they sound a lot better with a sports cat, you’ll also gain a fair bit more torque.

 

If you want more noise for free try folding the back seats down, you can hear the exhaust a lot more haha.

 

Haha I have mine folded pretty much permanently lol.

 

Ive literally just done this. Added a sports cat to the Akrapovic and also fitted a Wagner intercooler.

It’s quite a bit louder in the cabin and pops loads more especially when it’s in sports mode. I brought all my bits from KTEC and got them to adjust the map at the same time. They are on my doorstep so eay for me.

Gain a bit more torque and holds it better now.

 

Dyno graph?

 

This is the map from the previous owner.



New map. It was boiling hot so wasn’t a great time for mapping.

 

What is it with Ktec's mapping and jaggy power and torque curves? Mine were terrible, yet Chris at EFI Parts map is alot smoother in comparison

Seems like I’m gonna have to travel for a decent realiable map. Now toss up between RS Tuning or EFI. Who wobble be the better choice?

 

Rs tuning by a mile mate. Heard a couple of ropey things about efi

 

This is my dyno graph from rs tuning, sports cat and intercooler fitted.

 

Efi seems to be the go to place now he’s doing the mk3 and he’s cheaper but it’s up to you.

 

Those quantum ones are just generic, get a proper custom map.

 

Folded is for wusses. Take em out! ;-)

 

There's only one choice, contact Chris @ EFI, no comparison in customer service and ability to map your car right.
I travelled 280 miles each way, well worth the time and effort.

 

They are both some distance away from me down in Bournemouth. I just wanted to take it to someone who’s going to spend the time doing a decent map. I’m a bit clueless with this whole mapping side of things just want a top quality job that will be reliable and be best for the car.

 

To be honest you'd get a good map from either RS Tuning or EFI Parts. I personally found the customer service from Chris at EFI Parts to be excellent in comparison to RS Tuning, plus he's available to map on a weekend (RS are Monday-Friday) and he's cheaper. Engine Dynamics should be closer for you and are also reported to be very good at mapping

 

Engine Dynamics for me as miles closer than anyone else. No complaints here.

 

Well hope it goes ok for u.

 

Never used efi personally so cant comment on customer service etc, but every time ive been to rs they've been nothing but accommodating and had a good banter with the lads

 

All in good time. And listen i wasn't slagging efi off just saying that i had heard a few ropey things, but if u want to be a bitch about it crack on.

 

Well used rst few times and no issues, but if i do have any YOU'LL be the 1st to know

 

What happened to not slagging companies off on forums. Short memory my friend.

 

I have had experience of both, EFI win every time.
the time you are there its your time, he doesn't go off and answer the phone, or speak to people that walk in through the door, or walk off for over 2 hours without a word.

 

I am 100% with Ian here.I will only use EFI in the future.

 

Hi Arthur
Now i thought you were a hardened RS supporter welcome to the real side
