Hi,

I just purchased a 2007 Polo GTI as a track car and run about. I was wondering which performance upgrades are recommended if I want to track the car?

I know an engine tune and coilovers are par for the course (I have already put on stiffer sway bars from WhiteLine and a BMC performance filter).

Is upgrading the cat back exhaust necessary? or can I get away with just upgrading the down pipe and putting in an FMIC if I want to go to Stg 2?

Is the upgrading to a PD160 worth it? They seem to be selling at ridiculous prices on Ebay - $376 from Darksidedevelopment's Ebay store.

I don't want to spend money on upgrades that are not necessary or don't provide a "good bang for my buck" while still making it street legal.

Thanks in advance for any advice.
