Do it mate, you'll love it

Just a word of warning the remap will weed out any parts that are on their last legs (coil packs, the clutch in my case lol) so be prepared for this  :wink:

You're best of finding a breaking TT or Skoda Octavia to get the brakes off, shouldn't cost too much

Give R-Tech a bell and I'm sure one of them will tell you if you need anything else to go with the remap

You only need the caliper carriers and discs,the caliper is the same and yes it's straight swap.

You can run a mapped car on the std brakes,and do a brake upgrade at a later date.

As Ivor said you dont need the brakes, maybe think about it in the future.... You can get a remap for around £200 but you may well want to fit a Forge 007p Divertor Valve which is around £80
