If you have a GTI you need to get it tuned. As soon as you do, you'll wonder why it took you so long.
I went from Stock to Stage 2 in my GTI about 3 months after purchasing it. It is such a huge difference, and the power delivery is smooth. I got it done in Dallas for 750 bucks during an APR sale. I chose to go with Stock, 91 octane, 93 octane, and Valet mode. All I ever put in is 93octane, and the car pulls like a train compared to stock mode. If you need to take the car to the dealership, then you can change the mode you are in back to stock, but if they really want to see if you are tuned they can. Best money I have spent so far though. I will be getting K04 by September though

Yeah I'm fairly sure it was a 1st gen. He got me good off the line as I don't have much exp in launching a FWD car lol. But I pulled on him in 2nd and 3rd got about a car length before I let off. It merged into 1 lane. He was definitely racing. His sideways upside-down hat must have slowed him down. Oh and btw yes I'm completely stock.
Those mod motors just need to be blown unfortunately. No need for all those cams, chains, valves......easier to make power with a pushrod motor :happyanim:my full bolt on 01 bullitt which is just a glorified gt with a better flowing intake manifold wit full bolt ons with 4.10 gears did 270rwhp which is pretty much max out of a 2valve mustang. ran good though 13.30's@104 they need cams to hit close to 300rwhp and are putting out good numbers with the trickflow heads. now my 04 mach 1 stock did 289rwhp and went 13.01@108 lol granit thats a dohc 32valve 4.6l lol

250 sounds like it'd pull pretty hard in this little car. I'm thinking someday soon I'll go get this thing tuned stage 1. It needs a little more power. I didn't buy this car to race it, but I still would not like to be beat by a soccer mom in a Nissan quest. And this may be a stupid question in the wrong thread, but there is no such thing as flash tuning our cars is there? I can't go buy an sct and plug it in
Might do it today then. Shouldn't cost more then? What $600? Oh and what about the warranty? I need to drop the tune if I ever have to take it to the dealer right?

I was stage 2 for a year (15k miles) then went k04 this past thanksgiving. I've been wondering why I just didn't save and do this first haha.
