What order would you do your mods in

[sim]

As I am about to get my new polo gti, i've been thinking about what mods I should do.

If you where to do a polo gti from scratch, what order would you do your mods in. some reasoning would me good too

Maybe even list your current mods and would you have changed what order you did them in?

Well if I was to ever do it all again I would go as follows.

Front and rear sway bars along with front suspension bushes while ur at it.
Improved exhaust and Intake
FMIC
Flash
better suspension
312mm Brakes

[VW GTI]

1) Flash

Then if you want more power go to downpipe / FMIC.

If you want better handling... suspension and bushes etc

Unless a mod is pre-requusite for another, I would go bangs for bucks first..

As you appetite for mods (or car) may change..

Flash is first mod, has to be.

How much is a dumpipe worth? also how much power over would you be looking at with a dumpipe and dumpipe+FMIC?

how come you put a flash after exhaust and FMIC?

[VW GTI]

My Downpipe was $1100 or something (got everything at once so I can't remember).

Up about 8kw on just the flash, FMIC adds about 4 or 5 as well. Together they would be good.

I assume its so you dont have to reprogramme the software

depending on who u went with grant for the flast like if u went custom codes u could get the flash done to suit those mods rather than having to redo it later

Top thread.

In my inexperienced opinion, I would've thought the Flash -- suspension -- shocks would be enough for what i'm after, which is a ride that's not worse than stock?

I wanted to sat that.

Custom-Code have a phase 2 tune especially for getting the best out of any mods made to the car. Having a FMIC and Downpipe are a minimum requirement for a Phase 2.

The Phase 1 would still show gains if you fitted the FMIC and downpipe down the track. The Phase 2 does lift power quite a bit though once completed.

There is a discount if you go from Phase 1 to 2 but it would be more sensible to spend money on the hardware first and get it flashed once.

I believe if you have APR software, the update from APR is free if you use their hardware.

[h100vw]

Going straight to a Phase 2 would be cheaper than APR with an update and you could get your hardware from wherever you like.

There's plenty of hardware providers out there if you look a little.
