Tuning Tips For Mk4 Golf GTI 1.8 Turbo
« on: 13 November 2011, 16:20 »
im about to purchase a 150bhp golf mk4 gti 1.8 :)

before i plaster it in mods i was wondering if you guys kno wot the best exhaust is to put on it to get a nice purr but nothing over the top, and obviously i would like good perfoamance out of it :) also an induction kit etc :) what do you guys recommend me doing to tune it up, make it look and sound better :) nothing majorly loud tho as i dont want it roaring 24/7 lol :) also whats the max size wheels i can fit on this? im considering gettin it chipped and remapped etc :)

any advice would be appreciated thanks guys :)

Pipercross panel filter, forge d/v, remap and that will do

Induction kit is a waste of time.

18"s will fit fine.
