GTI parts on TSI?

[Corprin]

What is the price difference between a TSI and GTI?

How much are you going to be spending on these mods to get the look and feel of a stock GTI?

If you take the amount of parts+time and add those to the base cost of the TSI, now how close to the GTI you want are you?

Depends on the options. A GTI S can be about the same price as a TSI with all the options.

Now they are probably much closer, but in 2016, it was an 8k difference between tsi S and gti S w/ PP LP. Not apples to apples, but that was the deciding factor for me. APR tune $750. Stoptech brakes $1250. Audi 18x8 Wheels $425 (since changed)

So better performance than GTI and still $5k less. No LSD or xenon, but still happy with decision.

Next logical step would be the R, not GTI.

And here's the rice.

I have a few GTI bits on my TSI. Brakes (not PP). Front sway bar. The front struts are 50mm on the TSI and 55mm on the GTI, so you can't swap. Aftermarket support for the suspension is great, however. I have a GIAC tune (227 hp).

I have a TSI GT 1.4 and I want to install a GTI exhaust to it I was just wondering if I would have to remap the engine for it to fit or have any problems. Also don’t know which exhaust to get that will fit so if anyone has recommendations it would be greatly appreciated.

ECS has probably the biggest selection of parts for the 1.8. I know that a lot of people don't like them but my experience with them has been very good.

I’d rather get a mk6 R than a new TSI for the price.
