Hi!
Hello M8 welcome to the forum.
The first question from new 1.8T Gti owners is mainly "I want more power" lol. IMO Standard perfomance from the 150bhp GTI 1.8t is pants.
But once remapped the car should feel how you would expect a Gti to feel, loads of power and wheel spin
.
Looking at your user name It take it you could be from Scotland??? if so there is a good company up there called Star perfomance who can remap and transform it into a propper Gti.
The Forge 007p and an induction kit with the alloy relocation pipe will work wel together, plus it will make a nice blow off sound which is amplified by the induction pipe. The Blow off type valves dont work well with the 1.8T engines.
Steer clear of boost controllers, once remapped the ECU will take care of the extra boost and Fuel to air ratios, A good remap should see you boost around 1bar. Too much pressure when running a Boost controller can lean the engine and cause det and cause the limp mode kicking in.
A remap should take the engine upto around 195bhp to 210bhp depening on your engine spec. A good exhaust and de-cat will also free up the mid range power band and give you a few more BHP.
A standard 150bhp Golf 1.8T should easy do 135mph, if your flat out at 120mph you may have engine issuse which need sorting out before you start to remap and tune the car. your first port of call it to get the ECU read using Vagcom.

Nick
