Title: NEW CAR!!
Post by: PacalDnB on 18 April 2015, 21:43

Hi all, have just bagged myself a 2001 1.8t 20v gti and as it is completely standard, i was wondering if anyone can reccomend the best way to get modding with it?

Many Thanks!

work your way through the mk4 project section for ideas. You need to decide which way you are going with it; looks, performance or both :wink:

Cheers for the advice! :) i put her on coiloivers and black 17 cupra alloys today, she looks mean already!, wanna keep comfort in a sense but increase the power, have heard of stage one remaps with standard engine taking it to the 190bhp mark? is this true?

Cheers Garre

Stage 1 remap will make 190 bhp. Also a forge 007 DV is what you need as well.
