I was thinking take a wheel off and maybe the glass out they must weigh a fair bit! Yes I have a child... so no loss of back seats im afraid! I've been reading that Polyurethane Bushes and engine mounts make a difference? is this true and also, other than the fact they're made from polyurethane what do they do and whats better than standard about them?

Alos, how easy/difficult are the engine mounts and bushes to change?

Bushes; making it faster, more comfy, are you joking?

A guy I know said he knew of a mod to make a GTi Digi faster...

He got a small (Thin) zip tie and tied it round the accelerator coil thing (On top of the inlet manifold where the air feed meets it its connected to the accelerator cable... no idea what its called) which basically opened both butterfly flaps together...

I fail to see how this makes the car faster or does anything other than making your car use full throttle whenever you press the accelerator even slightly...??
