just got a 2002 VW GTI 1.8T 5spd. and i was wondering what some good mods are? what size exhaust? what type/brand of intake? will a downpipe turn on my cel on?

 

Go to FixxTuning.com I had the GIAC 91oct chip GHL3" turbo back no CEL. TurboXS diverter valve(sounds badass!!) CAI Do not get a K&N will kill your MAF sensor. was much quicker. Next step would be a bigger turbo but do all that and you will be happy for a while.

 

lol you got a vdub....lets see what its going to do..?

 

get a blow off valve

 

so if i get the chip and exhaust from the turbo back the cel won't come on?

what kind of intake do you recommend?

 

GHL makes a good one. Had an Injen on my GTI when bought it. The GHL is plastic, air won't be heated as much going in as on the metal ones. Can't put a BOV on a MKIV its before the MAF sensor. Gotta use a diverter valve. The forge 007 sounds ugly. Get the turbo XS, you won't be disappointed

 

where does the diverter valve go? like where does it sit.. intercooler pipes? or what?

 

3inch Down pipe no exhaust is the best option man, cam-ing it would be nice also,and dont forget to do suspension upgrades so you can handle while yur haulin ass.

 

how loud is open downpipe tho?

 

I have a question on this as well. What suspension/tire package would you suggest for an '02 A4, chipped 1.8? I do not want to sacrifice ride quality at all.
