On dyno, stock 1.6T is 130whp and 200wnm.....It may be different from car to car...Depending on alot of factors....But this is a ball-park figure for your future reference.....Hope this info helps....

This figure is on crank. On wheel will be less.....

The rear suspension is a Torsion Beam. Torsion beam is like a 2 in 1 suspension set up. It works as a suspension component and also a anti-roll bar. The "U" shape design works like a ARB.

In the previous 408, the Torsion Beam is hollow with a bar inside it, to further reinforce the rigidity of the Torsion Beam. Not sure about the Ethp design though. But im guessing it should be the same.

You can custom make a ARB. Ultra Racing can do for you but u need to drill holes on the bottom spring bracket. IF you willing to drill hole, then ask them to do it for you.

My advise, try not to stiffen the rear too much. Too stiff in the rear will then to make the rear slip out (over steer). The car's stability system will kick in to correct oversteer. So if too stiff and u take corners, the ESP will keep on kicking in. Damn kacau.

Hope this information help

Heard renautech is quite good. You may also consider SPV Automotive, very good as well. Can look up their facebook.

This GFB DV+ is one of the first part i got when i started modding. My car is 2014 and the GFB has been working well since then. Really good to invest on one of it. Now if you wondering which is better, the GFB or the Forge. Both works the same. Difference is GFB is recirculating and Forge is vent to atmosphere. The forge you will get a louder blow off sound. While the GFB you get a whistling sound. Another difference is, with the GFB, the pick up is slightly more responsive when you let go throttle and throttle again while in boost. You can DIY install this part also.

Happy modding

I bought mine from GFB directly back then la. I think they have their own ebay profile too. You can check. Maybe more expensive now coz currency difference. So maybe those shop that still got stock might be cheaper coz they order by bulk.


As for the solenoid, i am not sure yours is rosak or not. But usually that part is damn tough. Only the front part is very brittle. The installation is very easy. Just connect the solenoid to the DV+ and then pasang back to the compressor housing. Kao Tim.

TOUCH WOOD. IF is the solenoid rosak, you have to change it anyways. Then the current broken valve you also cant use. So might as well replace it with the DV+ or Forge. Conclusion......No need think....Just buy the DV+ or Forge....

This one i consider it as a precautions/reliability upgrade ler. Nothing to do with performance mods. So not so racun.

BUT............If you kasi mod intake plus this DV+....The bunyi is shiokkkkkk....

This one runs on vacuum and the Forge blowoff runs on vacuum line. You can see the solenoid has 2 nipples for the hose to be plug in.

The GFB DV+ and the Forge (there is one like the DV+, the front part only), still uses the factory electric solenoid. Which reacts faster due because is electric. No test on this yet. Just claimed made by the brands from theory. This reaction is not to be mistaken for the reaction of throttle responds. Just the speed at which the solenoid activates.

The attached link is the blowoff adaptor that i mentioned. Its similar to the GFB DV+. Just that this forge has 3 holes on the adaptor to release the air. So you get the louder sound.

Those 2 shop is good and experience with Pugs. They in the market for long time. So they are very familiar with all Pugs issues.

You can add another to the list. Try SPV Automotive. They are participants in the MSF Race series. They use their racing and track experience to advise on any mods that you would like to do. Not base on product adverts. They work on all sorts of car as well. The owner drives Pug too...So Pug issues and repairs is no issues for him.

The 2 plastic intake hose, just go exhaust shop ask them to use a 2" pipe stainless steel. Kao tim. But need to machine the sensor plug point. Wont cost as much as original plastic hose. Last a damn bloody long time. Looks nice also

Silicone hose eventually the colour will fade or change. Due to the heat.

Its more durable than the ori plastic of course. But silicone being silicone, it will bound to breakdown over time. By that i mean A LONGGGGGG time. The color change and fade will definitely happen first. Then later on when it starts to weaken, it may expand when air it being send through it. Like got bubble when you throttle. Happen to me when i was dyno-ing. My silicone joint break after that.

So stainles steel is better in my personal opinion. You can go the the shop to get those ready made. Or you can go exhaust shop to compare the prices and you can get them to make the compression route the way you want. Just remember to get them to machine the sensor point if you go exhaust shop.

I did mine from an exhaust shop long time ago. Custom made it. I do one shot with my front mount intercooler. All researched, purchased and custom myself. After that got few shops started selling the full plug-and-play set. So more convenient now.

Go look around and research from shops la. Getting opinions is good. Can learn and experience new things. Can compare prices and services and expertise. That's the fun part about modding. The process of modding is the fun part.

Ermmmmm.....Everything except mechanical mods....

All the usual plug and play stuff....

CAI
Full exhaust system (downpipe all the way to muffler)
Front mount intercooler (self sourced)
Intercooler piping (custom made back then)
HLHS Suspension (the most difficult part to get the setting right)
GFB DV+
Sports Seat
Steel Brake Hose
Tuning

Thats about it la. Wont be doing anymore until i sort out the suspension settings.

You are welcome.

But really, do go around and survey and research. There are many shops out there that to compare and take advise. Dont terus jump into decision on a shop or anything. Like i said, best part about modding is the process.

Happy Modding. Hope to see more Pugs in the mod scene.

Just ask mech to tighten it back. The lever is adjustable. But please do not over-tighten. ECU will read it as overboost and CEL will come out. Adjust it just enough until the sound is gone.

I think you should check with your mech on this. Usually they can do. But the shops you can explore is Tong Tubro or Turbo One. They are turbo specialist.

What other extras???
