best mods for £500
« on: 18 March 2013, 18:55 »
got a 1.8T AUM and ive already got a full exhaust (all be it a noisy bugger), aftermarket DV, pipercross panel filter, coilovers and a catch can installed.

So what would be best to go for next power/engine related as ive got 500 bucks burning a hole in my pocket??

im in scotland and rtech is about 5 and a half hours drive. Already consulted with a guy up here so a custom map may be  on the cards. Ultimately id rather get a few decent mods in place for the custom map so silicone hoses are a good shout.
