Car underpowered
Hi guys
I just need to know if i port and flowed a cylinder head, would i still need to take the car for a tune? Even if it has the stock cam in. Car is a mk3 gti 2l 8v.

Re: Car underpowered
I installed the stock cam until i get money together for fit and tune. Was just thinking that even though the stock cam is in, there is still more airflow. Or am i wrong

Re: Car underpowered
fuelling is airflow meter based so it will cater to a big degree. It's always just better to check that it does and set the timing for best power.
but you also kind on need to say if it is digifant or mp9.

Re: Car underpowered

Dont bother with the unichip.Kyle28rsa wrote:Have a unichip must still put it in. Will have them sort all those things out then when i get the chance. Thanks for the advise
There are guys that can flash the MP9 ECUs with new maps.
Less likely to give hassles.
For example there is the Polo Cup tune for MP9, its mapped for a 276° cam and a more or less stock 2l. It should work well for your application.
