I just recently finished my stage 2 project on my golf mk4 1.8t. Mine made 227bhp. Ive got a few videos of it on my channel. In standard form at 150 bhp they are dead. Stage 2 changes the car completley.
@@aak9042 The FMIC is not required for stage 2 but recommended. A FMIC won't in iteslf give you more gains but what it does is prevent heat soak and loss of power when running hot (which you will quite quickly running that tiny turbo at high boost). Mine made 231bhp without the front mount, I've since fitted one and although it doesn't suffer from heat soak now I doubt I've made any real hp gains. It's always a worthwhile tune if you can afford to do it before remap but not 'necessary'
I think the 1.8t are proper strong engines i love the mk4 am tempted to pick 1 up as a project..
I've got 210k on mine its been mapped since 90k , simply brilliant cars!
Beutifullll car just a beuty. Always wanted the same car
Hello there mate, in a previous video you mentioned you needed to get the gearbox replaced?
That was my mk5 golf gti and I've replaced the gearbox..

Yehhh man. Who mapped your mk4 for you and what bits have you had done mate
@@scottmckay9358 mapped by Mallory performance Phil Cooper, K03s, Creation motorsport tip, 3"maf, Ram air induction kit, Forge 008p DV, Darkside fmic, Aps 265lph fuel pump, Saab red top injectors, Turbo revs downpipe decat, Milltek resonated cat back exhaust.
Yhhh man decent.. 5 speed or 6.. mine hits redline at 157.. on drag strip of course 🤣 need 6 speed box 👌
@@scottmckay9358 🤣👍🏽 im sticking with my 5 speed box. Its fine to be fair. I dont want to go any quicker. Too much tuning makes cars unreliable imo.
Tbh mines done 160 thou and these are bullet proof if there done right I've not had a problem and I give it some stick everyday
Can you map a 1.8t safely without a front mount intercooler?
Yes stage 1
My 2003 is completely stock. Can I stage 1 apr flash ?
@@brandonjoseph1489 yes, I'd recommend a ramair intake though
Faster than Dads then!
Dads got a 1.6 fiesta s1600 wid a miltek.. he thinks it's the bees knees 🤣🤣🤣
Joe b told me that night about him racing ya and that ain't all true! He dont talk shit go again?
why would you stage 2 it without an fmic??
Why not? Just had stage 2 on mine without fmic
@@Just_James_79 Can you? I swear I've heard from everyone you need fmic? Have you anything wrong with yours?
