    GTi tuning Melbourne

    Hi everyone,
    Been doing a bit of searching for a good tune shop in Melb. Have a VY11 R8 clubsport, thinking about down sizing but not down powering. Always loved Golfs, used to be a VW mechanic.
    If i get a GTi it would need around 250kw for comparable pwr/wt ratio. So was thinking a 04 turbo, ECU tune, CAI, from there how far to go with the exhaust & intercooler?.
    Any replies/ideas gratefully received.
    Cheers
    Briby

    hmmm... Not to sure about 04's buuuttt... You'll need a better/bigger intercooler. Audi s3 intercooler, or another aftermarket one. And exhaust, once again not sure about size, but 3" dp.

    how about a 06? goes faster.

    With that youre list is, CAI, 3" exhaust, s3 or other aftermarket intercooler, and then you can go stage2 REVO/GIAC/BLUEFIN/APR tune. or stage2+ if you get a High flow fuel pump (HPFP)

      I think he was talking about the k04 turbo? I might be mistaken though.

      A mate of mine has a VY LS2 Clubsport, with UNI chip and exhaust.. and I left him for dead in 1st, 2nd and towards the end of 3rd (about 160km/h) Only after that he started to catch up and passed me at about 180km/h.

      I was still stage 2 back then, so without the HPFP and stage2+ tune.

          For 250kw'ish

          K04, injectors, tune, intake, full "3 exhaust with custom dump pipe and high flow cat, intercooler upgrade..... and I would argue an LSD centre.
