That's my evidence to suggest I wasn't making it up once I fitted a HPFP to a stock engine/ECU and felt smoother power delivery, especially at the top end. I'm not suggesting it increases engine performance, only smooths it out.

Moving over to Flickr, sorry for the broken picture links!

Right, lets all stop it and just play nicely. This is a bit of fun about what YOU would do, not what you THINK should be done. It's just a little thought experiment to see whether people preference power, handling or a bit of a mix. Or in the case of @MC71 then just plan lunacy. And a distinct lack of respect for the rules.

I got time for tearing up the rule book, but not in my post. :P

If no remaps, then power mods are useless.

1. Coilovers
2. ARBs
3. Polybush


The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Just put "in my opinion" before any statement and it's all good. It's like being extremely harsh to someone, then going "it's just banter, lol" afterwards. Technically, it's alright then...

I heard stickers add more BHP than coilovers...
