Mods for Traction
RENNTAG:
Stick with the GTI :happy2:
In time you will get to know the car better and be able to control the power better. Also if you do start modding in the future the GTI has alot of pottential when it comes to modding :happy2:

I have test driven lots of cars but as for owning this is the most powerfull of the lot. I guess I need to make a decision on whether I stick with the 2wd and adapt my driving and maybe mod later or look at the 4wd option.

....Adapt your driving. Rather than start by spending money on performance mods I would consider doing an advanced course such as CarLimits (in your car on an airfield) or Drivetrain (in your car on public roads). It's like remapping your brain (especially Drivetrain) and will stay with you whatever you drive. I use Drivetrain techniques every single time I drive - It's based on The Police Driver's Handbook and the instructor is a very highly qualified Police Instructor.
I had never owned a FWD car before and decided to do a CarLimits day early on. 4 of us from another forum did it together, all in Mk5 GTI's.
CarLimits is more about the car's limits and Drivetrain more about your driving limits. A much better investment than any car engine remap!
But start off by training your right foot :happy2:

Limited slip diff.

Spend some money on some race driver tuition or see if you can get some form of remap from Revo and use their linear throttle settings.
A friend of mine in a non VAG environment went to the n'th degree of power, weight reduction and brakes and i spent lots less having the race driver tuition and was slightly faster

....An excellent mod for later but he hasn't learnt how to use his right foot yet.
