i want to eventually get a few things for my gti i was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction?


Cruise control - is it difficult and expensive to get a oem vw cruise control stalk and fit it? anyone know where i can get it done?

Go from k03 --> k04? Far too expensive? better way to get the power?

If i was to get a the ITG Induction kit (thats still in development) is it recommended to get a remap? I have read that even the standard air intake is enough for a map? So im better getting a better fuel pump and a map? what sort of cost am i looking at for a better fuel pump?

these are long term plans im thinking of but id like to know where im going to start with  :happy2:

I think Awesome (Manchester) can do a cruise control conversion. If you went there it would be worth considering an APR remap because it can be switched by the stalk AFAIK.

Revo is also a very well established and highly rated tuner. Ideally you want a tuner who is very experienced with the 2.0T FSI engines and can look after you longer term.

K03->K04? You're looking at about £3,500 to do it properly with everything thing you need.

It's only advisable to get an aftermarket fuel pump if you have a combination of high flow performance exhaust, high flow tubular intake (such as ITG), and a Stage2 remap rather than a Stage1. The more expensive HPFP (fuel pump) is a new APR but it's considered more durable longer term than the cheaper Autotech/KMD which only upgrades the internals. I don't have direct experience of this but this is what some independent experts say - Others may not agree.

The reason for the HPFP with those mods is that you risk fuel cuts on the stock pump - It's not a guaranteed problem but a definite risk.

But power is useless without traction so there's a whole raft of suspension and handling mods to add to the never ending list - Modding is a very slippery slope!

HTH :happy2:

FYI when getting quotes for the OEM cruise control, it's worth remembering that your local VW should charge about £120 fitted, various aftermarket companies do offer OEM however sometimes the price is alot higher than your dealership for some reason.

it can be that it's combined with a switchable map, but if its not electronically related then you can get it fitted wherever  :innocent:

that sounds interesting, cruise control with a switchable map. Does anyone know what sort of price they charge for that? or anyone had it done? i heard someone on here does it for a number of pennys?

i had the switchable APR map on my ED30, very good :happy2:
