GTI tuning modifications - what would you do?

[TRGTI]

what a great read.
Mave, you seem to make more and more enemies every post you make.
like i said before, mave is king of google search and Wikipedia
instead of talking about everything you know, have you actually done it to YOUR car? or anything technical for that matter?

to the OP, if you want more power, go stage 2. you will love the turbo rush and the noise

Congratulations Hong on your first post that doesn't contain your normal Anti-APR or Pro-GIAC diatrabe.

If you have something to refute the comments that I made and the evidence that I posted then by all means feel free to contribute.

Just because I'm not getting a heap of work performed out of hours by the GIAC distributor on my car doesn't mean anything Hong, anyone can toss a K04 in their car and make all sorts of claims with nothing to back it them up. If you believe so much in the dyno accuracy how about posting the ones from your car or GTILIN's??

[tinto]

oh no.
it's like herding cats.

Hong - how is your LSD at low speed/around town?
Any different to standard driving?

that's an item that should have been a factory option on the GTI.

This is sooo off topic, either start other threads please rather than dribble on here.

The thing I've found interesting, having recently gone to Stage 2 (TBE), is that you have to retrain your senses.

Part throttle on Stg2 is about as loud as WOT on Stg1, so if you are basing your expectations on what you are hearing, then you can wonder where the power is. Push a bit harder though and you are quickly reminded…

PS. Would be interested to hear what your impressions of the HPFP are ENERG1

Some people raise a good point.

It's very hard to get a dyno from Giac is any better than APR.

LOL.
And when dyno results are quoted that upset others, the others immediately cast doubt on the dyno - even though there's no basis for doing so (ie they weren't actually there themselves, &c...)

Bottom line is that ALL quoted figures are a guide only and are open to criticism from all sides. There are just too many variables for any figure to be taken as gospel (even manufacturer's claims - where they may decide to quote high or low, depending on marketing or political reasons).

[G-rig]

Agree with you there.. After doing a few dynos myself, there are too many variables to compare them properly to other dynos.

Hongs and GTILINs arent K04s!
