NEW TO THE VW WORLD AND NEED SOME ADVICE!!!
« on: March 13, 2012, 01:55:11 pm »
Ok first things first, I bought a Mk5 VW Golf 1.9 TDI about two weeks ago.
I have already purchased some Coil overs and have seen a set of wheels that i am getting when i next get paid.
The problem i now have is buying all the things that you have got to know fit, what i mean by that is...
I want to buy an exhaust and air filter but i havent got a clue where to get them from and what i need to get, the other thing i need to know is about remmaping, i want to get a remapp but there are 1000000 places that do it and they all do different things so what do i do ?
would really like some awnsers and thanks to anyone that has taken there time to read my painful post ;)  :happy2:

I suggest you get a custom exhaust made because I can't really think of any exhaust which is a straight fit, on the air filter side of things you can check awesome gti, about remapping theres loads of companies
that will remap your car, just have a read of all the companies and their reviews and make your mind up, you should expect your car to be pushing 140-150bhp after the map I think.. if it's the 1.9tdi 105bhp

Milltek do a straight fit exhaust. You'll just need to change the rear valance to a gti/edition 30 or r32 one depending on what look your after.  I'll be getting a milltek decat & back box in the near future.
