Hi All,

Mrs JS has a 138 206 GTI.

Should have bought the 180 really, but there you are.

We're feeling the need for a bit more speed, tho' not really wanting to turn it into an balls-out racer, but a little of coming-on-the-cam power surge and throaty induction roar would be nice.

Web search reveals it's so easy to turn it into a chav mobile, but I havn't found any unbiased and worthwhile info regarding chips/cams/air intakes/ tuning stages which I think is the way to go.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

JS

For induction the ITG Maxogen is definatly the best but its also the most expensive. The Pipercross Viper such as I have on my Clio is good too and is just a bit cheaper tho still around £250!!

Have a look at the Ecosse website for actual tuning bits although you'll probably end up spending a lot of cash for not much gain IMO.

May as well sell it and buy a 180 smokin
