So I picked up my black GTI today, and I uh.. have the mod bug, to be honest. I already know I'm going with a stage 1 Revo tune to get me to 250hp. But after that, what do I need to do? Cold air intake, and do the Revo muffler they provide with Stage 2 do anything really? I'm also wanting to get an off-road downpipe (catless downpipe), does anyone know where I can get one? I'm also wanting to lower it. Any over-all advice on modding here?
ok here we go, stay close and pay attention:
Revo doesnt provide a muffler with stage 2.
To go stage 2, you need a downpipe. If you want a catless one like you stated, there is an APR downpipe that is catless. ~$350.00. Your going to need Revo stage 2 to clear the CEL that the downpipe is going to throw.
Search up Bulletproof Speed Hardware. Their good guys over there.
CAI or FOS (Filter on a stick) has sparked a raging debate over how much power (if any) that they net. Although if you do want a nice BOV-like sound, than go for it. Neuspeed, EVOMS, and Fujita just to name a few.
Go with what you want, research certain parts.
Some preventative maintenance that im sure you may be aware of regarding the PCV and DV can be done with a forge DV, and BSH or Eurojet PCV fix. Some people have never had a blown DV or PCV and some people have gone through many, it all depends.
Get a boost gauge to make sure everything is running smooth when you get REVO or whatever tune you plan to go with.
As for suspension, I dont know much, so im hesitant to give much info on that.
