Need help on tunning my r32?

[jasong1987]

My golf r32 has had the aps stage 3 done to it. Love it but u know how it is would love more power to keep up with the evo fqs. The stage 3 consists of cams, remap, catback miltek system and a pannel filter.

Does any1 know what to do next without going down the supercharge or turbo route just yet.

Not sure but a quick email to Ed and he will tell you but id imagine it'll get you some good results, i wouldn't focus too much on the numbers though (BHP/Torque) and focus more on the improved drive that you'll get from it all.

if you stay NA then getting the power increases become more expensive the further you go and ultimately even with expensive head work/cams another re-map, exhaust manifold, porting the throttle body etc you arent going to see much more than 300hp and it will cost.... OR you can consider going down the FI route, be it supercharging or turbocharging of which you can get off the shelf conversion kits producing 350+ and even 600hp is possible depending how far you want to go.

useful contacts for information would be

Thanks for all your coments, i might consider just saving for the supercharger then. dont fancey the turbo because of the price of most of the kits and the work needing done. if i can get 400 bhp from a supercharger at some point i will be more than happy
