1.4 TSI 122ps Tuning

Post by Green Machine »

I've just recently bought a Scirocco 1.4 TSI 122ps model, an i am looking for some help on what modifications to start with?
Could anyone give me a hand in what i should turn to doing to it?
Cheers Josh.

I wouldn't worry about anything like that unless you want the stage 2 software, although they recommend some NGK spark plugs for the remap.. But that's on the 160 ps version due to misfire problems :) I just got my black VW emblems through the post, can't wait for tomorrow to fit them :D

Had a few problems with it at first, then had it terracleaned unleashed a new beast, I then went away for a week and it was stood outside my house for that time, so the waste gate started to stick, went for a decent sized run and was driving fairly stupidly and it seemed to have sorted it out, but other than that it's great! Just really want some engine mods, like air intake, and other bits n pieces

How much for the Terraclean dude? I've been thinking about it :)
