Re: Leicestershire/Midlands Based VW Tuners/Modders


Apr only do stage one so you won't be able to any further than that.

Revo are decent and well known for maps.

No comment on vudu.

I run the eibach springs on mine and it lowers it just enough but rides better than stock imho (also run 15mm spacers up front to clear the brakes)

The exhausts ...

Re: Leicestershire/Midlands Based VW Tuners/Modders


depends on how far you want to go with it tbh as some off the shelf maps stop at stage 1 and other custom maps go to stage 3 so that maybe something to think about with regards to map.

springs or coilovers are both good for lowering but avoid the cheap coilovers (stance, JOM etc.) as ive seen ...

Just go to your local VW dealer and give them you VIN number or license plate and they will happily sell you a new one.
Yeah I gave TPS (Trade Parts Specialists) a call instead and they have the part. Thanks for your response!

Polo GTI 6R Rear Diffuser/Valance

Hi all,

Long story short - I was reversing in the dark (I know :? ) and didn't see a small wall on an edge of a driveway and as you can see... :(

Can anyone help me source the same original part? The tow cover came off in the process and I thought I'd put it back on correctly, although having a ...

Re: NEW MEMBER - 1.8 GTI TSI Manual Tuning Options


There are plenty of other places out there that remap these cars so have a search about what's close to you.

I've got a sachs organic clutch and would recommend that but it is heavy. There's RTS and helix also do clutches for it.

If i was getting coilovers I'd get KW but they are not cheap. But ...

Re: NEW MEMBER - 1.8 GTI TSI Manual Tuning Options


with myself having a basically a 400bhp polo 1.8 tsi, it really does depend on how far you wan't to take it.

for a stage 1 i'd say APR but it all ends there as they stopped doing stage 2 a month or so ago. Revo would probably be my next choice for an off the shelf map.

you do not need to worry ...
