Title: Turn3r's Mk5 GT 170
Post by: Turn3r on December 05, 2016, 07:37:49 pm

Hi all, I joined earlier this year when I was looking to buy a Mk5 GTI. I ended up buying a GT 170 instead due to insurance, it was more economical and it came up at a good price.

I have done several mods over the past year, which I will post soon.

First mod was an iPad mini 4 install.

Next I had a DPF removal as mine went. Whilst getting it removed I figured I may as well get it remapped. It's now estimated to have 210bhp and around 400 N.M.
If anyone has any suggestions on how to increase traction, which isn't getting better tyres, shout up because I'm wheel spinning all the way through to third

Looking good bud, that iPad install looks brilliant how the hell does that work then?

Thanks. We have mounted a Sony MEX-N6001BD unit behind the fascia which the iPad is connected to via Bluetooth. We've also used a connect 2 unit to make it compatible with the steering wheel controls. It has a mounted charger that it connects to when the I place the iPad in the car, this is connected to the cigarette lighter rather than the stereo USB port, for more efficient charging.

I'll be getting a full Audison sound system installed after Christmas so should be sounding pretty sweet

I split the headlight a few months back and sprayed some of the chrome matt black. I've also fitted projectors and a HID kit. Still got to wire up a relay to get rid of the dashboard light.

Finally got around to sanding down the headlight lenses the other day too, so the headlights are finished  :happy2:

Has anyone got any suggestions on performance mods for the GT, I've never really modded a car past an exhaust and air filter before.
Planning on getting the Milltek downpipe soon. But not sure what to do next.

looks good,

Could upgrade the turbo and get it remapped again but that gets expensive pretty quickly.
