I drive a DSGMaybe get a clutch before going APR Stage 2.
My friend has been getting into way too much trouble with his mk6 and is getting a jeep. (Too many tickets) So he's giving me some audi wheels he had on his.1st package: Flash + Downpipe + Intercooler
(assuming you're DSG & you have PP brakes)
EDIT: oh.. and please don't go for RPF1s - those wheels look or make our golfs look very awkward. This is a visual downgrade to OEM package if you ask me.
It matters what experience you want. Are you under warranty?Do you like driving and canyon carving or straight line speed? #1: I drive my car so the best first thing IMO is lower sport springs - this lower center of gravity and tighter rate transforms the car for good dollar return. VWR springs installed by dealer Keep suspension warranty. Jewels and stickers are fun in and out.
2: The next thing I would do is LIGHTER rims and def pilot cups...my god they really transform the car. Im not a fan of gimmicky over-tiring a car. Stick with 18s. I've tried 235 and 225. Again weight and flickability better with 225s. A good drop in K&N or other free flow air filter at this point after using up stock filter value will be felt.
3: At this point an APR (or other) stage 1 tune COMBINED with better dampers is called for. I've found that when you get those rims tires springs on there, it's an amazingly diff vehicle. When you do koni yellow dampers (not coil overs) you could also do stiffer Neuspeed sway bars front and rear. When you do tune, beef up the motor mount. I would not go with adjustable suspension or endlinks.
4: I won't do a downpipe but will do a LIGHTER catback.
I like this order for a drivers experience.
Because of the nature of reflash tuning from this modified platform you can then go to APR two or stage two and beef up your clutch if you're a manual and get more crazy if you do tracks. I think stage 2 asks for reliability trouble.

Would spend thousands on a gti to get similar power as a stg1 R

Still not as fast though,luckily I still prefer the syling of a gti to the r butI think I would still be ahead of R pricing with an IS38, ST XTA, RSB, CTS Intercooler, JB4 , APR DP, and DSG Tune. Maybe get a APR IS38 Tune, but other than that I think I'm still ahead.
And most of those are mods, outside of the turbo, that the R would "need" anyway
From a dig yes but from a roll I'm not too sure.Still not as fast though,luckily I still prefer the syling of a gti to the r but
No matter what you spend it won't be as quick as a st 1 R
4 wheel drive it's just quicker
