    Looking into uprating the performance of an AGU, never had a non DBW 1.8t before so have no idea what sort of gains I would be getting by carrying out the same mods as you would on an AUQ for example...

    4 bar fpr
    FMIC
    Decat and 3" downpipe
    Forge 007p valve

    Also a K03S

    And which remap/flash would make best use of this?

    After a 220 odd BHP AUQ, the AGU feels a bit limp.

    Presume this is a transplant into a Mk2 or Mk3? Or is it in a Mk4?

    With a K03S and no cat, you should get 210-220bhp, as long as you've got a decent FMIC. You don't need a 4 bar FPR.

    why ko3s, if you putting it in a mk2 i would put a propper turbo on it. You are doing a load of work already, just fitting a s would seem daft.
