Next Mod....dilema
DavyP:
I know where your coming from about the Milltek cat back offering little to no improvement apart from the sound.
Could I have first refusal on your cat back Mat ED30? Once I have enough posts to PM we can discuss the finer details?
Anyone know if the DBilas will make a difference without the TBE? Its either it or the suspension then, I'm sort leaning towards the suspension at the mo.
I've so much I want to do to the car, but i like to take my time as it keeps it fresh, so im aiming for one mod a month.......

Being able to hear your engine is soooo important when driving any vehicle (IMO) and so it's a priority. But, because you are remapped it's a waste of money not going for the full TBE.
Suspension is often underrated in its importance, and so are brakes on a modded car. Even just AntiRoll Bars make a big difference. But you need to budget at least £1,000 for suspension to do it properly (IMO).
You need to do it all! It's just a matter of which mod and when.

....That's how I've modded my GTI - Slowly and one thing at a time. The advantage of that is that you experience what each mod contributes and also if it introduces a problem. I did most of my hardware performance mods before I remapped.

Phil Mcavity:
If you have car insurance that doesnt cover BHP increase, then get the cat back as it wont affect your premium.When your insurance expires, get the down pipe and sports cat to complete the Package.
Catback still sounds ACE without the downpipe :happy2:

Now then,
a good question indeed.
I think that if you already have 300bhp ish then you need extra control as a priority. Uprated pads, lines, fluid along with uprated springs and dampers would be a good start.
I'd leave the exhaust until you have enough money for the full system TBH.
