Hello guys, my name is Levi from the Netherlands and i’m new to this forum. I’ve been reading on here for quite some time now but now is the time to ask you guys for some advice.
I currently own a dark grey(ish) DS3 156 thp 2013 model with black roof etc. I have this car for about a year now and it’s stage 1 chipped with no other improvements performance wise.
I am planning to slowly improve it’s performance more, I contacted a local garage to tune it to stage 2. They offered me:
- Forge intercooler €925
- Supersprint downpipe with 200 cell sportcat(not going decat) + linkpipe & midpipe €2300 euro
- ecu tune €600
- aprox. 400€ on working hours
so this would be over €4000 which I found quite expensive to all just do at once. They said my car would be pushed to around 205PK (HP) and 320Nm.
I want to do the upgrades stretched over a longer period of time and not necessarily with the above named brands/options.
what would you guys advice? For example first the downpipe & exhaust system (brands?) or better start with a better intercooler (and maybe airfilter & inductionkit?).
It’s already stage 1 chipped and claimed to be around 187HP an 290NM (not measured). Felt alot quicker after the chip though.
Also will the above named improvements each need a new map? Or can I just map it stage 2 when all the parts are there?
