Title: Just got my 1st MK IV 2.0 GTI
Post by: footer1969 on 10 July 2010, 20:38

Hi All,

Recently bought my 1st MK IV GTI 2.0.

As far as i'm aware it is bulk standard until next week when it is having a Milltek Exhaust system fitted.

Can you tell me:-

Do 18" alloys fit straight on with no mods. and will they rub with original suspension?

Can anyone recommend a remapping? If so which type/Company (near Dorset/Hampshire)?

Looking forward to upgrading the car as much as my wallet/wife will allow :smiley:

Thnks in advance for any replies

Cheers

welcome to the forum. re mapping would be pointless as you've got a naturally aspirated engine. best you can do is induction and exhaust, lairy cams etc. re mapping might give 2 bhp at best

Thanks justalex81,

You saved me a few quid with that advice. Had the exhaust fitted yesterday, sounds and looks g8 with new 4motion valance. Will look into induction kit next then, any you could recommend?

Many Thanks
