Hello guys/girls

Just wanted to introduce myself and say hi! i own a 06 gti which ive had for just over a year now!
Well i finally plucked up the courage to get my car remapped, along with a forge DV, Neuspeed P-Flo intake, Eibach pro sports springs and some EBC yellow stuff pads to handle the hike in power!
Well ive just got it home from Vag-tech over in Leighton Buzzard, and my heart is still racing from the thrill of driving this THING!
My car has been transformed into a beast! the differance from stock to now is night and day! i just wish id got it done sooner!
Well i guess im now on the slippery slope lol.

Marty : )

Hey Lowdown

TBH all areas have dramatically improved! but id say the feeling of power from the engine would be the most noticeable!

The feeling of power pinning you to your seat through 2nd, 3rd and forth is brilliant! and for anyone who hasnt tried EBC yellow stuff pads, i would highly reccommend them, as the stopping power over stanard are fantastic!

BTW I Remapped with Revo.
