performance upgrades

i notice on courts sport that when compair a meriva with a pre cat and re map to a corsa with a stage 2 theire is very little difference

my question is could i go pre cat leave rest exhaust as it is and get a intercoler fitted then re map?

woul di still get a good gain or would i need full exhaust 1st?


cheers

You would still get good gains but wouldnt necc be able to run a stage 3 set-up (as you wouldnt have a turbo back exhaust)

Remap with Downpipe

You would need to get some custom software made up, I had to do the same with my Astra.. Up until about a month ago no tuning companies made any software for Stage 2 on the 1.9cdti so when I had my Downpipe & Intercooler/Hardpipes fitted I went up to 'Red dot' and had a custom software written to get the most out of the Intercooler.

You can do the same no problem with just a downpipe and intercooler.

There are two places I know of that will custom make you software which are:

-Reddot Racing
-A&M Conversions

Hope that helps

corsa stage 2 = full exhaust and remap
cost £1770
222 bhp
234 torque

meriva stage 1.5 = pre cat and re map
cost £760
220 bhp
252 torque




crazy but for over £1000 less you get 18 more torque and 2 bhp less ..


thats why im thinking go str8 for the intercooler

I can imagine mate.

Instead of custom have you seen the EDS one? And would a corsa IC fit the merv?
