You were the one who first mentioned 160 is that not so


....No, it was you who first mentioned 160:


Thanks for the info gents --- one can go anywhere and do 160 ---only thing its legal in Germany


But let's just put it down to misinterpretation and move on.

Remap, free-flow exhaust, and aftermarket air intake would contribute to improving performance but I don't know by how much regarding a diesel TDI. The petrol 2.0T FSI would deliver more results I expect.

Cool. A remap and a decat will extend your rev range and give you a bigger more useful powerband. The standard intake will be more than adequate as will your intercooler. Leave the engine mods there and spend the rest of the money elsewhere, as you really do need to start throwing a lot of dosh at it to get more power, and you won't achieve much.

Brakes would be first on my list, they're woeful.
Sideways yo!
