My 3dr black GTi
Ricky123:
Just thought I'd post a couple of pictures of the one I've just bought. Someone on here may have owned it some point?
It's got an engine issue at the moment but once I've sorted that then plans are Bigger intercooler (unsure what to go for yet) auto tech pump internals, cat back exhaust or suitcase delete pipe? Then mapping at R tech for now. Will want to do more in the future, Probably keep the exterior as it is, possibly add wind deflectors and ed30/r32 rear lights.

Nice looking car mate! :wink:
Go for the S3 intercooler, it's cheap and does the job. :happy2:
Ricky123:
Thanks, what's needed for stage 2/2+??
Is the s3 intercooler fine for that setup?
I'll be getting the cylinder head off next week so will post some more pics up.

I use that intercooler on my stage 2+ K04 Cupra, you can feel a slight decrease in power in hot summer days, here in Bucharest we get over 35 degrees Celsius. But this is rare, and in UK you'll be fine.
For stage 2-2+ you need 4 things, S3 intercooler, LOBA/APR/Autotech HPFP, Exhaust, cold air intake. But then you will feel the need for bigger brakes (Cupra/S3 with a good pad to start), and better suspension.
Cheers! :drinking:

Paintwork looks lovely! Shame it doesn't last long on black cars though.
