Title: Just bought a Mk4 turbo, help on tuning
Post by: bigmarky on 09 February 2012, 19:44: Ok so I just bought a 99 150 turbo, and other than k and n induction kit and recirc dump valve it's standard so what's the best mods I can do without major engine work looks easy enough to get around 200 bhp???? Or is it better to bolt a bigger turbo and go that route ??? Any suggestions or pointers and where to get stuff from would be ideal, after some of those dark hid headlights and the led interior lights as there is millions on sale which ones ate best etc. cheers everyone.

Carbon tuning, R-Tech etc. You may even have a local REVO dealer around your place too.

I have R-Tech on mine and still love it now :cool:
