What Accessories are you buying for your MK6 Golf?

[Big_Dave]

Well, visited Guy and James at Harding performance here in Brizvegas yesterday to get my first Mods.

Carbonio CAI, High Pressure FP, and a stage 2 Tune (version 2.3) updated only last week by APR.

Also had Guy do some VCDS coding adjustments while they had the car plugged in (gratis of course, thanks Guy)

Result?

Really good!
Big differences seem to be A) down low in D, i noticed it pulling up hills in 6 when before it would have changed down a gear. (this obviously due to the torque increase)
B) Greater surge of power between 3,500-5,500 RPM (very noticeable)
c) Off the mark, markedly quicker

Had some young fellas pull up next to me in their Nissan GTS Turbo rice burner last night. Within 60 feet I was two body lengths ahead.
Loved it!

I'll post some pics of the CAI asap, looks good.

Hi Big_Dave,

Have you done any exhaust mods yet?

[Corey_R]

He'd have to if he's got a Stage 2+ tune on there.. otherwise he'd have a Stage 1+ tune on it (ECU + HPFP)

[Big_Dave]

Well,
I could be wrong and if Guy sees this post I hope he confirms,
However James said it was a stage 2 (maybe I missheard and he said second stage meaning stage 1 Plus) due to the HPFP.
Next mod would be a downpipe and then a Intercooler. but I don't think I will go any further as I am happy with the performance.
I might get the haldex upgrade as Guy reckons it is the best handling mod. ( better results than sway bars etc as it changes the dynamics of the drive train)
As Guy stated to me yesterday, the R is a front wheel drive and it doesn't send power to rear untill it feels front wheels slipping.
The Haldex upgrade allows more power to rear all the time to give a better dynamic and reduce understeer, which we all know this beast has a fair bit of.

Hey mate,
It's $1095 for Mk6 GTi stage 1.
Had mine tuned last week & I can't wipe the smile off my face.
Love it.

Thanks. Decided on the GIAC to wake up the beast! $1K nett from exoticars.
I wasn't entire sure what to expect but now that I have done it - this is the way it should have been in the first place

Also costs 3x the price of a set of sways!

Heaps quicker? Is it still quick bottom end?

Do you just load once and that's it? Or would my wife find out somehow

Let me know how you go with fuel consumption

Revo or Giac, revo or giac.

Decisions decisions. Clocked over my self imposed 5000km period (not bad, less than 2 months in) so it's time to have some fun
