Hey why a stage 1 tune with a downpipe , BTW nice colour

 

[GTI Jake]

He has a bigger turbo too, and JB4 to adjust to match

Going to stage 2 would be a waste of money when you can tune with the JB4 tailored to your car. However the tune does give some benefits the JB4 can’t. Best of both worlds. ;p

Can't wait to see what it looks like with the DG springs. Super clean list of mods!

Me too thanks might actually do it this weekend because I’m tired of waiting ...

Looks great! DG's will make a huge difference.

Great thread! How’s the downpipe been? You recently picked it up correct? Also, CF mirror caps might be a nice touch to tie some more CF oh wait I just saw it’s on the list hahaha

 

[Gawernator]

Yeah honestly I’ve been adding to the lists as I remember things. There’s so much..

CF mirror caps came today. Looks amazing!

Only cost $65.

The downpipe is solid. I knew it would be. The Becker pipe has great welds and metal.

Can i get a link to your paddle extensions? How you likin em?

 

[Gawernator]

Just installed today actually. My only gripe is I wish they were more securely attached ... the tape doesn’t seem to be super solid but maybe it will be after sitting overnight
