Newbie to the GTI
« on: September 19, 2010, 10:58:17 am »
Hi all,

Just picked up my MY07 GTI (non ed30) overall pleased with it.

Previously owned a 330ci convertible. As far as build quality goes, its not far off the BMW.

Will be looking at at remap as soon as! Debating whether to go to stage 1 or directly to stage 2? Will not want to go higher than a stage 2 though.

Had a bit of a trawl through previous posts on remaps, can anyone advise where there is a decent REVO or equiv dealer in the Milton Keynes area?

Will stage 2 require a CBE or can i get away with leaving the standard system on and just upgrading the downpipe? Also other bare minimum upgrades to remap directly to stage 2 would be useful.  :smiley:

Money isnt really an issue, but if it doesn't 'need' replacing then why bother?

So far ive found the forum very useful and informative!

Keep up the good work guys!  :happy2:

I would say go to at least Stage 2 including intake and DP.

But in all honesty. Go Stage 2+ with HPFP, intake, Downpipe at minimum. You can can go full exhaust.
But cat back not really needed.

It's crazy smooth at that stage..

Milton Keynes is a good area to be in. VWR down the road. TTShop not too far. Backdraft motorsport on your doorstep.

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

If you google their name, you'll find they have a website. A few clicks and you come across this page: clicky
