ehh… a few people on vortex are runnin very low 14’s and high 13’s on just a chipped gti.  
So a few grand into my car…would = bigger turbo+good tuning= 12’s maybe less witha good driver:bloated:

As you guys can all see i am soooo undecided on what to do? 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…?
