Golf mk5 1.6 FSI S tuning/modified
« on: 30 November 2014, 09:29 »
I know this is May be wrong place to put it up cos I'm new on here.

I'm currently looking into few modified for it so far I've done changed k&n panel filter, goodridge braided hoses all around and green stuff brake pad. Also order 15mm wheel spacer for all around. Already booked for tinting window on 10th January with window deflector and 13th December for remapping.

I'm looking into coilover lowered to 40mm, struct brace, poly bushes and back box! Would love to heard what everyone done with their 1.6 FSI S

Thank everyone

Is it really worth modifying a 1.6 FSI, any gains will be tiny.

remap figures quote 6bhp...hmmm.... not worth the £229 quoted. 5th Gear once did a VW Corrado and popped Redex in the tank and gained 5bhp, by far the most gains from changing plugs oil etc. Give it a service and some redex!!

I got quote for remap £160 on xmas special. Man say "8-12bhp 10-15 nm torque plus 8-10% mpg gains"

Also I would love gti but I recently bought golf I can't be bother change the car again. I can make it look nicer with tinting window, gti side skirt and spoiler, coilover and nice stainless exhaust will do the job nicely.

So far fitting k&n panel filter and 15mm spacer all around.

Also I'm interesting in struct brace so what everyone used?

Strut brace on a 1.6 FSI  :rolleyes:

Save the money for re-map, you will not have any considerable gains. Better take injectors out and clean them, change the oil and in general give it a good service. That will cost less than re-map and gains are in the same region!

Cos you simply don't need one on a 1.6.... much like map on a non-turbo petrol.
