I had no intention of doing anything to mine when I first bought it, but after frequenting this site I have a list as long as my arm with the things I would like. Shame I dont have the wallet to match!
I blame Greeny!!!

Oi! I resemble that comment oaky!!!

In a word Joe yes! I've always modded in one way or another (mostly cosmetic) but never performance wise really. (p.s. Milltek DP and cat being fitted tomorrow and torque arm insert dogbone thingy while there at it  :laugh:)

Yep this site has a lot to answer for when it comes to modifying (and getting people to buy project cars) :grin:

I have always thought about it in the past but normally not kept the car long enough to get around to it  :embarassed:

....I assume it's being installed by one of their approved agents as opposed to Milltek themselves.

Could you please ask them what they would advise about when a remap is best added - How soon after a TBE, or that they think it doesn't matter how much later.

Thanks :afro:

Hi Robin,

It's actually a friend who owns a garage that is fitting for me. It's funny you should ask about the remap as I asked Superchips the same question when uploading the Stage2 version of Bluefin knowing I was having the DP fitted, and for what it's worth they said to load the map anyway.  :smiley:

the problem with the forum is that it provides way too many options that we wouldnt all necessarily know of!
cosmetic / mechanical its all good  :smiley:

Always modded my a cars a bit, remap, new wheels maybe, but never as much as when I got the first GTi, then is just snowballed. I do think think this site and the people on here have got alot to answer for :laugh:

Are they as bad on ASN?

Not quite so active in the modding, or as friendly if I'm honest :smiley:
