« on: 03 June 2005, 13:04 »
Hi all,

I have a MK4 2.0 GTI....51 plate!!
I have heard there is a way to up the BHP from the 115 that i already have??

when you take everything into consideration... cost of the modifications, then your insurance premium increase due to the mods etc... it'd be way cheaper and more reliable just to sell your car and buy a 1.8T golf .. and then if thats still not enough power for you, get it remapped.

nah just sell the whole car, you'd be surprised how cheap you can pick up a '99 turbo these days.. thats why i dont want to sell mine until i've driven it into the ground.. they're going dirt cheap, i'd lose a heap of money .. blame vw's mk5 GTI release for that  :sad:

I have thought about it, but i still havent paid the loan off for my car yet so... hmm... my plan was to keep my car for another year, by then the loan would be paid off,  pass my driving instructors exams, earn lots of money and go buy a R32  :laugh: sersously
