jcw with minor mods
Hi,
I just have a jcw 210 hp from the 2006 year with the following engine mods. Milltek header, Milltek cat back, GP intercooler, foam filter in the jcw air box, ati +2% crank pulley
The handling department I have more then enough mods and will be discussed some other time.
-1. I was wondering if any of you experience a major hp gain from 5000+ rpm? I do not push my car passed 4500 rpm usually unless on the track. The difference was almost like vtec lol. I just want to know the experiences of owners who run a similar setup like mine. I case the engine is running lean up top.
-2. Do I need a retune to extract the most out of my setup?
-3. Anyone seen the jcw exhaust developing a hole and blowing exhaust gas up BBQ'ing the battery? - this one is more of a rant since I did not wanted to change the exhaust. I later found out that my flex pipe was starting to leak -augh!! So I bit the bullet and bought the Milltek header as well. I am not sure how it pairs up with the rmw but so far I give it a thumbs up

Haha I am pretty civilized for daily driving. I mainly ring her out on track. There have only need a few odd times then I had to redline her though.
My main concern was running lean up top because the power does come on strong above 5000 rpm. Perhaps I am just too paranoid.
