Can I just say this topic has been really useful. I'm new to the site aswell and am looking to mod my golf (K03) slightly to improve performance but not on a huge scale. I've been looking at a res milltek cat-back and remap I dont want anything to intrusive as my old Fiesta ST was just too loud.  now looking at this a cold air induction kit might be worth buying too. any recommendations?

thanks in advance,

Stu

Hi Stu, the for sale section and ebay will be your friend.

I have been modding my k03 gti as a daily driver, on a tight budget doing approx 20k miles a year but want good performance, no track work but still need comfortable tracktable car (as i am a mid 40's old fart).

My approach and budget:

downpipe and high flow cat - milltek - 2nd hand from this forum for sale section - £350
cat back milltek xhaust, resonated from ebay - £200
superchips bluefin with forum discount - £400
stage 2 upgrade - £50
ITG CAI via group buy £315 incl postage
2nd hand autotech fuel pump and cam follower (from for sale on this forum) £245
fuel pump fit and rolling road - £100

result on RR - > 275 bhp, and 315lbft of torque and it flys :-) all for £1760 v v happy :-)

and all reversable when and if I ever sell the car and wil make most of my money back on the bits  :laugh:

disco stu:
well i think you've just made me a shopping list!  :happy2: Your mods and what you want your car for are the same as what i want so, thats really helped me.  :notworthy:
Right to ebay!!!

jmspears list is pukka for the engine, but with that amount of power i would certainly add a set of performance brake pads£100 ish, performance brake fluid(£25ish), and a set of eibach ARBs ( £270ish).

then you would have a very rounded car.

Remember power is nothing without a bit of control

What brake fluid do you use sy?  I wanted to use the Ate super blue as an 'upgraded fluid' but mentioned it on here sparking mass debate fueled by Teutomic_Tamer on it effecting abs etc??
