Hi peoples. I stumbled across this great looking forum in my quest to find out more info about aftermarket modifications to the Polo GTi and since there seems to be quite a few members here with pimped up GTi's I would like some advice if thats possible.
I've had my Polo GTi for almost 2 years now and its been an awesome little car. It really still puts a smile on my face evertime a jump behind the wheel.
But one thing that has always irked me ever so slightly is that it always feels like it just wants to go faster. I'm sure most will understand me on that point but overall I still can't see another car on the market in its price range that offers more 'bang for ya buck'.
Having said that I am finding myself wanting a bit more power & performance out of her. So my questions are as follows;
What would you suggest as a first mod? I am very intrigued by the incredible performance gain achieved with chipping, in particular the APR chipping which is available here in Perth. Would this be a good place to start? But then this leads to me to think I'll need to upgrade other areas. If you get the chipping are their other mods you will recommend as a must have?
Also what sort of increased wear 'n tear should I expect as tradeoff for such a dramatic performance gain?
Does anyone have any other suggestions?
Cheers for your time!
