yeah i did mean the boost valve but as i thought its pointless mod, so ant1981 id see some change in accelration possibly? and the suspension i have is the Apex RDX i believe (yellow springs) came with her when purchased.

Also would a AUM conversion be seen as a non-original engine replacement? as its still a golf gti engine? (worth an ask) cheers! :)

You'd see a smoother better responce. A remap isn't necesserily just to gain loads of BHP, which is what alot of people seem to think it is. It'll smooth flat spots/rough spots out especially after any modifications.
80% of your posts are total tripe, as they are mostly replies to sh1te posts created by the morons that, unfortunately this forum attracts.

its me again!! landed in a little money so going to try put this into gear...
Finally landed some rs8 alloys with brand new tyres 280!!! bargain!! fitted some DRL's just awaiting a nice day to wire them in!, have got designs for the interior as in head liner and centre console/dashboard!

i've decided to go with subtle modifications to the engine for now such as cold air induction, and a sportex exhaust system with race tube. this is purely to give the car a better sound, any power gain will be bonus as out of my age group I probably have the nicest and even quickest car as it stands.

Plans for future are to turn 20/21 then get hold of a AUQ or even a AMK block and drop in depending on insurance quote :)!! 
Day i Fitted DRLS

Interior Center Console and Dash nearly Done just need to finalise

Why are front plates law?!

SNOW!!

Rough planned head liner (Blue represents Clear Blue LED's activated by doors and interior light button)

Will Post pic with RS8's on :)
Im just gonna Enjoy it!!
 
THANKS GUYS :)

Hi; I have a 1.8 Gti (n/a) [125bhp] and im now looking to push some power/torque from the engine;
my aim is to get her remapped but before that I wish to make some changes to get as much gain as possible.

I been told I can;
upgrade to green-top injectors,
K&N air filter/ cold air induction kit,
Sport cat/ straight through exhaust, 
FSE boost gauge(this is a maybe),

If fitting the first 3 mentioned in opinions would I see much gain not as in bhp but in acceleration?
then the fact i would get the remap would this be beneficial? thanks !!

Whoever told you to fit a boost gauge is clearly a plank.

You have no boost to gauge.

Flog it and buy a 1.8T

Think he means FSE power boost valve  :afro:
+1 i had one on my n/a
AGU 1.8T. Mods done: R32 front bumper, turborev smic, ngk platinum spark plugs, uprated pancake pipe, demon motorsport boost hoses, forge 007 dv, forge engine cover, r-tec stage 1 map ,home made cold airfilter ,run on 98 ron fuel and castrol edge 0w 40 oil. Advanti racing alloys.
