Title: What mod next???
Post by: colevo on 20 September 2011, 16:56

Hi all, ive started to mod my 1999 gti 1.8 t, ive bought a cold air induction kit and cleaned out the TB and its made loads of diff to the performance.
 Im just wondering what to do next apart from the obvious of a performance exhaust or re-map? any suggestions? :smiley:

Always worth taking the trip to a recommended tuner.  The drive back alone is well worth it :afro:  But you also know that's its been given a thorough inspection prior to remapping.  Any one of the forum sponsors won't remap unless they are satisfied your car is in a healthy condition

See it all too often when people have remaps and something goes wrong so blame the remap when its underlying hardware issues which causes the problems  :sad:
