Up to you r5gtt and if you think its right for you, go for it - you seem confident it is a good idea :happy2:

I'm at work but check out tfsi tuning on FB bro they've replied to a question on a post I made regarding VIS :happy2:.
I feel it's right to do this and will update on progress as you know. :P

Yeah I'm on that group..I'll check it out now.

It's a Romanian thing :signLOL: I'd say its well lathed in comparison with a bigger head.

Here's an analogy: An Edition 30 running 320bhp on the standard downpipe, cat and exhaust. So the oem exhaust is a good solution, right? No. EGTs are through the roof and the turbo is being forced to work its bollocks off.
My last word on this. I knew pretty much f**k all about the right and wrong mods for TFSI engines before I bought my GTI and joined this site, although I did have a fundamental understanding of the principles of tuning and maintenance having been into cars for yonks, just like you. Since I joined, I researched things like mad on here, learnt loads, asked questions, learnt even more, identified the bods that really knew their stuff and really valued their comments, but most importantly I will always stand up and pay attention to the consensus on here. It's what the forum is for. It's a collection of knowledge, with the extra value of (mostly) impartial discussion on top. It's not sales talk. It's not two blokes down the pub. Take from that what you will.

I know it not about horsey power AJP but imagine the engine spinning like a mo f* and that cam follower pumping in and out so mamy thousand revolutions per minute and there's a bigger end pushing on the follower instead of a thin piece of metal that will poke through it rather than a flat base pushing on it. This is why I'm opting for this one and not a autotech loba or APR and since I've found it I may as well give it a shot as this maybe the way forward.
AJP:
Well, I hope it works for you pal.
r5gtt:
Thanks AJP it's worth a shot as loba autotech and APR fail so why not see what happens as I'm usually right about my instincts and have never bought something that failed on me iA. :wink:
MateyGuv:
I hope it works out for you mate, I really do. Like I said on insta I'd be listening to what Nikki says. He tunes these engines and you want him to tune yours. There is a value in buying what people trust and have used before. I have come across tuners that refuse to touch cars with unknown/budget upgraded parts. Last thing they want is their name accociated with a blown up car after they have tuned it. You could get a generic map instead of using R-Teck as there are a lot of good reviews about Geoffs mega power remap service on line and Geoff says he does a really good job. It's only £200 as well :grin:
Every product on the market has good and bad reviews and every person selling them will say how much better their product is than everyone else's. For the want of £150 is it really worth the risk? Are you that sure you can get the internals installed that accurately you won't have issues that could cause devastating problems? There is a genuine concern that what you plan to do will turn out badly. No one wants to see you searching for a bargain replacement engine.
It's your car and do what you want to do but for £150, is it really worth it? :drinking:
