Post by: GNJ_Motorsport on December 16, 2012, 02:48:30 pm: I'd start with a remap and some lowering springs.

Post by: DarkSideJohn on December 16, 2012, 03:33:38 pm: I am new to modding a GT TDI 140 myself, to date I've got a remap , WALK and a Cold Air Induction kit.
She's currently being repaired at the mo after a incident in a car park.

A remap is most recommended I'd say, completely changes the car in my view.

Next on my list are Highline and some better brakes !

how are you finding the walk kit

Its a subtle plus, obviously my car isn't driven on a track but I do find walk helps with stuff like motorway banking , some twistys and when taking tight roundabouts and such like.

It's not something you notice immediately but when you could use it , it seems to raise its head

Post by: Polo6n1600i on December 16, 2012, 04:47:06 pm: I've got myself a Jetta sport. You have to remember also there are a couple of different 140bhp engines. Both 8v & 16v versions of the PD engine & the later spec 140 CR engine.

I've started a different way. Derestricted the airbox, new oil feed & return for the turbo, egr heater delete.

I've got these parts already to be fitted when I get some holiday time:-

Cold air feed & induction kit
Jetex exhaust system
312mm discs

Still to buy:-
Coilovers
Walk
Polybushes
Remap.

Mines a 2.0 16v (bkd) 140bhp PD engine - so manifold, turbo, s3 intercooler & hard pipework is also on the cards.

Post by: Breamy1990 on December 16, 2012, 04:52:44 pm: I did remap and decat completely changed my tdi, alot sharper on pickup

Recommended by me 100% im a little stuck on what to do next for more bhp without going bigger turbo as budget doesnt allow yet

Post by: andybon on December 16, 2012, 07:19:42 pm: I'm going to sound daft now, But what the hell is a WALK and a mufflerectomy?! :scared:
Title: Re: what can i do to mt gttdi 140
Post by: W8 Performance on December 16, 2012, 07:29:41 pm: Walk is a Whiteline Anti Lift Kit and a mufflerectomy is where you remove the silencer :happy2:

Post by: Breamy1990 on December 16, 2012, 07:36:09 pm: Does removing the silencer make any difference performance wise? I already have a decat pipe

Post by: andybon on December 16, 2012, 07:42:49 pm: Wont removing the rear muffler make it sound more Massey Furguson like?

Post by: Polo6n1600i on December 17, 2012, 04:24:48 pm: depends on the car - youtube it and see what they sound like - quite popular in the USA!

Post by: Gazman1011 on December 19, 2012, 07:03:13 pm: thanks for all the info guys, im thinking of remap defo, and ifi get the dpf removed will it fail mot?, i dont want loads of bhp just few more, lol, also im trying to get hold of highline clocks, and also looking for the mk6 gti steering wheel.

Post by: marko on December 19, 2012, 07:12:23 pm: best look for the highline clocks on german ebay....
good few sets on there...

WALK...whiteline anti lift kit..complete overkill if your not doing trackdays imo

eddy-nl has one mk6 mfsw wheel left i think..but you'll need at least a controller and a colum switch

:happy2: :happy2:

Post by: Gazman1011 on December 19, 2012, 07:14:41 pm: what sorta price will i be looking at for the full lot? will i get much cange from 700? also ill get over to german ebay lol
Title: Re: what can i do to mt gttdi 140
Post by: marko on December 19, 2012, 07:18:46 pm: mfsw is about 500 on its own with controller
clocks will fetch 150 i would guess PLUS YOU NEED SOME WORK GETTING THEM CODED TO YOUR CAR
not sure on WALK
