I ve been trying to build a diesel version of the gti to warrant the gtd badge, fitting gti styling, with the plans to boost the power to around 200bhp and 300 lbs torque, 
And fit gti or s3 brakes,

I think the red strip works well don't like them in other colours, it matcha in with the red calipers and contrasts the grey nicely

Danno84:
Had the car remapped just before Christmas with revo software, make a massive difference car should be around 185/190 bhp and 300 lbs of torque :)

The down side to this is its killed my turbo, had my suspicions it was weak any way,



so went for a grand new Garrett unit, cars back to full health now and I'm happy haha

bluebert92:
Ah nice! What is your fuel economy like now it's remapped? And how much did the turbo set you back?

Andy:
A remap does find any weakness in the cars set up,least you got it all sorted now
How you finding the brakes as I found I  had to upgrade them after wards

Danno84:
Got a fairly good deal on turbo at £500, was a new unit not re con, brakes seem fine but I don't really drive the car hard, as for economy if you use the extra power it's it's mid 40s mpg, but drive sensible and it's a lot better than before it was mapped
