remap info please

hi all,i'm going to go for a remap soon and theres some stuff i would like to know first,if anyone can shed some light that would be grate.what i want to know first is would i need to fit an intercooler first???a mate said that it would be an advantage and another says the volver can handle it???what would you lads do???and dose any one have any dyno print outs from a standard phase 1 t4 with a remap that i could look at.thanks.tony.

If you want to take maximum out of your turbo, then install FMIC and larger injectors. Aftermarket exhaust can help, too. But it's not easy job to install front mounted intercooler, because there's not lot of room behind OEM front bumper. I had to buy aftermarket one. Standard maps are indeed all 230-235bhp. - BSR offers 259bhp/383nm, but with stock 14T turbo it's highly doubtful. A friend of mine got Upsolute and dynoed car. Results: 225bhp/350nm @1,5bar boost pressure.

cheers 

nice one boy's that'll do nicely,enigma666 i did mean the after market intercooler,i forgot to say in the original post,sorry.lol.

no worries mate, the FMIC is a real pain in the backside to fit as said behind the OEM bumper...easier on a Ph2 but still a nightmare. As for the injectors etc and exhaust, yes they will yield more power, but it would require a custom map to get them running spot on and thats big money :)

are superchips any good.?? got a local superchip dealer near me...

Personally wouldn't touch them, they mass produce chips for a mass produced market....MTE are the highest rated i would say

how about rica???

Well I have the RICA on mine and it's good don't get me wrong, but not quite right. It has masses of low end grunt which is lovely, but a real pain in the A$$ to get grip in the wet and it tails off top end quite a lot... The MTE is much more progressive and smooth across the power band. the other option of course is BSR which some people have had very good results with but only the standard map. The 259hp mod involves downpipes and exhausts and everything else with nobs and whistles (for only 259 :() Tony where are you based?

i'm in middlesbrough mate. there aint much up ere to do with volvo's so if i want some thing it's a blast out for it.i was down at warrington yesterday with me mate he was getting a tweek after he put a new manny on his integra dc5.he was pushing out 259 bhp without a turbo so i'm thinking of doing him right in with about 300 if i can
