Mk V R32 - Where to go for mods?

[guymarks]

Can anyone recommend a tuning firm? I feel my R32 has a lot more to give!

Cheers

AmD in Bicester, they are pretty good.

I would be interested to hear what AMD have to offer for the MK V as I recall for the MK IV they have a Stage I kit of remap, Milltek and Inlet Filter/ CAI. However the MK V has some tweaks over the MK IV already using FSi technology injection.

Try awesomegti.com, just outside Madchester.....they are always friendly.

Try APS. They were set up by a bunch of guys that used to work at AmD and they are offering MkV R32 upgrades:

Any experience of using APS, they seem to have similar Haldex and Remap mods to AMD but cheaper.

Sorry, no. They were only setup earlier in the year but as the people who founded it were pretty well respected when they were at AmD I would say that it should be a fairly safe bet.

you need to hit tyresmoke.net

for whatever reason its the forum that all R32 owners use........... i love pistonheads mind you!

You won't get much more from a chip alone, but AmD do a '300' package which includes chip, exhaust and cams. Take the 300hp with a pinch of salt though, realistically expect 280.

I find the R32 engine to feel a bit flat at the top end, such is it's bottom end urge, so that kit should make it pull to the redline more relentlessly.

If you're serious about power though, this is the ultimate [url]www.vf-engineering.com/kit_vw_r32nonus.php[/url]

try www.uk-mkivs.net too

There's a Mk 5's community there too.

Been away from the office for some time so only just saw the replies - thanks everyone.

I will investigate and let you know how I get on.
