Hi guys thanks for having me im new hear and thought id share my car / passion with you guys in the hope i learn even more
He is a pug 307 gti 180 feline with 60.000 miles and i believe that it must be the cleanest example on the road as there literally isn't a mark anywhere
Its quite heavily moded with the intention too go further
Its has an uprated fuel pump
Full stainless exhaust race cat mid box delete
Chipped / remap
Ramair cold intake
803 catcams
Oil catch can
Twin plate clutch billet lightened fly wheel
Gas flowed head
Iridium plugs
Oil cooler
Exhaust heat rapped/ manifold
Intake plenums gold heat rapped
Tracker fitted
Coil over's
Tarrox discs
Uprated pads
My question is can the injectors be uprated and if so what too and where from .also can the 180 engine be turbo or super charged if so what from and who can do the job as i feel its more of a professionals job than me in my garage PS thanks for looking and helping

You weren't kidding about the gold were you!
As an interesting aside, the effort gone to to heat wrap everything presumably to help keep the engine bay cooler from the exhaust heat and enjoy the better gas flow of maintaining high exhaust gas temperatures, not to mention keeping the intake air cool by heat wrapping the intake manifold, you may have been better off keeping the factory air box, as that will have been designed to avoid drawing in hot air from the engine bay.
Putting a big fluffy cone in there, whilst increasing the noise, means it's only got nice warm engine bay air to suck in.
Alternatives, as I'm sure the stock air filter just doesn't flow enough CFM to keep up with the demands of the new cams, would be to in some way box up that air filter to shield it from the engine bay, and create a feed of cold air to it. Inspiration can be obtained from the factory airbox.
Also, I hope ramair is just the brand name of said filter, and not an attempt to describe part of its functionality?

Having the oil cooler there is just asking for trouble, either damaged by debris, and by the time you notice its too late for the engine, or the police will pull you for it, it needs to go behind the grille along with the pipes.
As for what you can do with the engine, as its similar to the 306 GTI's engine (a slightly more modern version to meet emission standards), you can do either turbo charging or supercharging, you are probably best asking on pscuk and asking them

Are you sure about that? I don't think the XU10 and the EW10 are that similar, they are different engine families. Trustmeimadoctor said:
Hmmm me thinks it may go the way of the Audi tt? Thread the other day!
Could be... And that thing didnt have an oil cooler hanging off its front bumper.I also suspect OP bought it pre-modded, i cant imagine he had all those engine/driveline mods done then needs to ask what can be done to the engine/injectors.

Is be surprised if it passes an MOT with the cooler exposed like that
there was a c70 on ebay the same, passed MOT. i don't see the appeal but i guess some modders like the look. TBH it does seem overkill on a NA engine.Gassing Station | Readers' Cars | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
