Hey guys, I am John and I drive a 2004 VW GTI. I live in rochester and go to RIT for school. I have had the car for about 9 months now and only have done some minor stuff such as Neuspeed intake, Greddy FMIC, upgraded DV to Recirculating BOV, HID retrofit with projectors, H and R springs and GHL Catback. So hello and happy flaming
Sorry for the lame pics- more to come soon

uh thanks I think? I have homo-ish infatuation with different lights. I think at this point, almost every bulb has been changed or converted to LED externally atleast.

First off nice looking car, but why would you put all that shit on the 1.8t and gain about 10hp for $1500-$2000 when you could chip it for $400 and gain 50hp and 80 lb/tq? Get that done asap, BTW a fmic will slow down your k03 setup…Although they do look sweet

Where did you get your info from? FIRST off, REVO or APR software( the only two big ones semi-local) don’t cost $400,they are moe like $500 and $600 respectively and that is for stage 1 upgrades. Furthermore if you read closely I have all necessary upgrades to support a STAGE 2 software upgrade except downpipe and 4 bar FPR which is why I am not chipped yet. The gains you listed are about double of what you can really expect for a stage 1 “chip” and I would like to hear how a front mount can slow down the K03 when the OEM SMIC is one of the most restrictive pieces of shit ever?

Welcome to the board, seems like you have a solid setup there. 👋

Welcome. Nice car. I like MKIV’s, especially now that I don’t own one. :lol: I had a 2001 VR6 Jetta. Nice to drive, got sick of fixing something every couple of weeks.
