That doesn't have the same ring to it!!

Yes to remap, best bang for buck.  Lowering can only improve handling but I would advise shocks and springs as just doing the springs can make it a bit bouncy although I do have a GT Tdi so might have slightly softer shocks.

I want to no your views on mapping and lowering not yes or no pal :D just trying weigh it up at the mo I'm new to the whole thing you see, just want to no if mapping is worth the gain in fuel cost and wear and tear on everything? Plus with lowering the car is there going be extra wear and tear to? is that worth it as I'm no boy racer and won't be doing any track days so it will only be for looks.

thanks

this is a terrible place to asking questions like that buddy  :jumping:
mapping the car puts a smile on your face all day long and lowering the car enhances the drive amazingly well imo
...now you gotta decide...springs colis air........ intake ....exhaust....intercooler your list just got a whole lot bigger my friend  :evilgrin:

I mapped mine for a bit more poke...then I wanted a little more so fitted a new back box and have a de cat downpipe on order.  I lowered it for looks just changing the springs then realised that when I am having a bit of fun I need stiffer shocks as it will either rub or bounce.

I am not a boy racer either, that doesn't mean I can have a bit of fun!

Mapping improves performance without putting a strain on the engine and increasing fuel consumption. Go with a well known firm, I always use AMD in Essex but there are lots of good firms, all will be slightly different and make your car perform better.

As I said, get shocks and springs, buy a good brand, get someone good to fit.

What more can I tell you?
