ubersonic Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Hey, ive been looking at UKDM TT's with the intent of buying one around June as a birthday treat and all the ones I seem to find have already been BPU'd, thing is though I don't really want that as stock will be enough for me. From what I have read the UKDM needs a MBC/EBC to hit BPU boost levels as it doesn't overspool like ceramics do so I was thinking what would it be like if I just bought a BPU'd one and turned off/unplugged/removed the EBC? that way it would efectivly just a normal UKDM but with a free flowing exhaust from the Y pipe right? What kind of bhp would you guys expect from that? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra N_A Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 take it for a drive first when it is bpu, then make your mind up if you want to remove it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 326bhp standard, BPU up to 400bhp. You'll more than likely want more power over stock as mine's 350bhp and doesn't feel all that quick anymore. Just leave the boost controller off so it's running stock boost then turn it on when you want the power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My current car is a Mkiii TT limited spec with n induction kit so about 310-315bhp and thats honestly enough for me, also their a bit heavier than a UK MKiv so I think a stock UKDM would do me fine but I guess ill see what happens when I get one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 if I just bought a BPU'd one and turned off/unplugged/removed the EBC? that way it would efectivly just a normal UKDM but with a free flowing exhaust from the Y pipe right? Yes if it's a UK Spec Supra it will have some sort of boost controller fitted, turning the boost controller off will lower the boost to the stock level of 0.8bar.

dude Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 First time ive seen a post saying how can I make my car slower !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Getrag Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Lol, i was thinking the same thing. How can you have about 300bhp and not want a little more. It sounds very sensible and all but youll want it in the end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robzki Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 First time ive seen a post saying how can I make my car slower !!!! Was my thought too, except possibly for insurance reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyson Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Will it not have a FCD too? Not that this will matter if you disconnect the boost controller though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter P Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Was my thought too, except possibly for insurance reasons. Agreed, but beware if this is the reason for the odd request. If you declare it as stock but keep the boost controller, FCD, de-cat pipes, aftermarket exhaust in place, and just leave the boost controller switched off, you would come unstuck in the event of an accident/claim. If you want stock TT, you will need to remove the aftermarket parts completely. I'm speaking as an insurance claims adjuster (not motor by the way, but principal is the same whatever the risk involved) so bare this in mind fella.
