The Nerd gets a Custom Remap

[chiefnerd]

Nice one Arlow- I'm creeping up on the Racing's BHP, torque is already past them. I should really head up my dealers and have a quick drive one again to try and see what the difference in gearing is- just for my own interest, would never change my gearbox.

Nothing, its exactly the same as what you have now.

[chiefnerd]

But so many people are saying a different box with different ratios?

[cyclone]

no...

[chiefnerd]

Well that's rather good news to my ears

What else you planning NERDY
How bout exhaust and whatd you be looking at - cat back? Full system? back box only? noisy, subtle, performance, single/double pipe
After what I was told by Citroen am happy to stick a new exhaust on but which one? Custom or off the shelf
Gotta save the pennies too

Sports cat and intercooler- then a new turbo and clutch mod after that if I really want to go for it lol

[ZACK]

Didn't know the racing only has 275nm torque, Aww that's cute

Sports cat

You pursuing any ideas on that, cost and whats available
Was recommended SkyLine/ Skycat is it ?(Not sure that was the recommendation but it was sky something)

For a Sportscat there are several options for the DS3:

My most favourite (Looks / performance / Costs) at this moment, the "Akrapovic" one (costs 581 euro)

Milltek: (costs around 680 euro)

Supersprint (Downpipe + Cat costs a massive 1200 euro)

Ragazzon (costs 797 euro)

My lot are sourcing some for me as I wouldn;t where to start when speccing a cat.

They're quite excited about doing the intercooler and 2nd stage but I'm not sure when I can fit it in.

[Chris_Blue]

Nice one Fabian
Expect NERDY (And I especially) would appreciate any advice on exhausts
What do you do- buy one, then find someone to fit it- or the other way round?

[chiefnerd]

My tuners are sourcing one for me that matches the acoustics I want and they'll fit it when I do the intercooler and second stage. I'll let you know what they come back with but I'm not into loud exhausts, I like mine to sound highly tuned but not OTT if that makes sense?

[Chris_Blue]

Couldnt agree more- subtle tone, low rumble/hum would be nice.
Getting the exhaust emissions out effectively is most important
Not sure bout sports cat or just cat back, or just custom box
In no hurry
