I want fast…but i dont know how to get it…should I wait on a vag tuning company to come out with a good BT kit for the gti or should i keep the gti stock and buy a hatch and make it quick for under 8 grand…? has a vag tuning company ever come up with a good BT kit for a vag car? not really. ---

So why don’t you want to drive your FWD german hatch with it’s anodized steel body in the snow? Think you won’t like how it looks with salt on it or something? Because that’s about all that happens to a VW through the winter. Spend $2380 on the Oettinger upgrade and a bit more for snows on steelies.

Man oh man. Dont’ fuck around with MKV’s. The MKIV’s are enough of a pain in the ass. If you are unsure about your mechanical abilities, do NOT undertake any sort of project, especially on a DD. Because it’ll either never run, or have consistent problems that you’ll spend half your time fixing. If you want to have a fast car, its not going to be your GTI. Sure you could throw a $4k turbo kit on it and go. But then, exhaust, clutch, diff, possibly fueling, axles(?), suspension, sway bars, intercooler … creepin up on 10g’s. No go in my book. And definately not for a DD. ---

BTing the GTI is the biggest mistake you’ll ever make. There’s a reason all these companies can’t make shit work. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/car-question-turbo-honda/16030.md?page=1)
