Where should I start with mods??
« on: 17 May 2015, 15:39 »
Hello all! Just bought a MK4 1.8 turbo 180 bhp 6 speed 03 plate. Wanted people opinion on what mods I should start with both performance and looks. Any advice would be very much appreciated!

Engine wise... As boring as it sounds, if i could start again i'd probably just go for a filter and a map.
Although its been fun learning bits and bobs, the other mods i've done have provided pretty low gains for the effort and cost.

I'd start by making sure everything is in good working order  :smiley:

Give it a full service - all filters, plugs and coilpacks, brakes etc
Get it looked over for any boost / vacuum leaks

Then get a remap  :smiley:
