R32. Man or auto?

Totally agree, I had a regular GTi first also, and the main difference is that top end surge the bigger turbo gives , you should try it with a remap

does bigger turbo= More LAG?
especially when you are talking about a k04 turbo.

When the car was standard I did notice that it didn't have the low-end grunt my regular GTi had(but that was runnin stage 2), but since the remap and even more so the uprated fuel pump thats changed in a big way

....We've had this same discussion soooo many times and I agree that it comes down to individual preference but with DSG you can pop her into M (for Manual) and use the paddles or floor stick (or both) to always know exactly "where you stand". Furthermore your gearshifts will be always faultless and faster than humanly possible.

DSG is NOT an "auto" - It's the very best of both worlds imo.

The DSG is particularly well suited to the Mk5 R32.

He's on about a turbo conversion for it though, so its all about the DSG's ability to handle that amount of power and torque

....Ah, sorry about that! I missed the point. It must be the sunny weather

Speak to APS (highly recommended). QST also have experience but I can't recommend them.

It's very expensive doing any performance mods to a Mk5 R32 when you consider what you get in return for your hard earned dosh. Turbo'd cars deliver much greater gains or bang for yer buck.
