Well it has been forever, for those of you who dont know i totalled the celica at the beginning of the year. bought an 03 VW GTI 1.8t in july or august-ish and have modded it since. I swapped front ends with a jetta. which is the most obvious. Black textured rub strips. European rear bumper. and painted front and rear valences. Performance wise. I got it chipped. 3" turbo back, no cat no resonator. cold air intake. upgraded intercooler piping, upgraded diverter valve. and that is all i can think of.. lowered it a bit. what do you guys think?

thanks. the celi was nice for a while. till she died. trying to get the GTI show ready for this year. big shows commin up. VW specific.
The performance is great. i love it. the intake wasnt a gain (noticable) made the turbo and diverter valve sound louder. more of a pshh when in boost and changing gears, or letting off the gas. the got the chip after that, made a HUGE difference. i was i need of exhaust, got the 3 inch turbo back and it was a huge gain as well. intercooler piping, i noticed a bit in response. i love the car basically. |

lol no. it isnt exactly a chip. a chip in old school talk is an actuall computer chip with little prong on the bottom that you replace blah blah blah.
new technology. it is a software upload. expensive too. reprograms fuel boost timing. and the camera is OLD school olympus 3.2 MP the C-3020 |
