Just did a remap - what should I look out for

[nk.rcz]

Hi all, just joined the forum but have been on it as guest for a year now haha

I have a 2010 156thp with 53k miles.

After owning it for a year I decided to start making it my own and modifying it.

So last month I went to get the timing chain replaced for a peace of mind and installed a forge air intake for the nice whooshhh
Last week I got it remapped to 220hp... the difference is crazy!

So now my question is what is next? Before installing anything else for more power what should I replace from standard so my engine doesn't go boom

Ive read that I should do something to the exhaust so that the engine can get rid of the fumes easier but what's the cheapest and easiest option to doing that without making my car sound too loud?

Who claims 220bhp from a remap of the 156bhp engine?

I was speculating the power as well but 'rcr remaps' offers this stage 2.

I am going to put it on a dyno in the upcoming weeks to see the true numbers

Placebo effect maybe?

It doesn't say what stage 2 requires, but it's more than a remap to make 220bhp.

A remap is around 190bhp.

156bhp remap takes stage 1 to 190bhp ish

My remapped 200 only makes 220bhp so I don't see how a 156 possibly could !

It probably doesn’t, if it did though, it probably won’t be long before something breaks.

Was it a computer job or rolling roaded? I’m thinking about it but I am not sure really. My car goes well enough but there’s always the “MORE!” devil 🫣
