We've had a (51 plate)Golf GTI Mk4 1.8T for circa 10 years, which is now on 80k miles. It always starts, runs and is a great little car. It's had all the servicing inc belts done, wheels refurbished (18 months ago) and new tyres last year.

We got a new to us Golf GII Mk5 (which the wife uses) and the Mk4 was due to go, but I'm loathed to sell it so little and use it as a local runabout) and my other option is to upgrade it (it's an AUM engined car).

- Remap 150bhp to circa 210bhp (R-tech)
- Forge 008 DV
- KW V1 or B14 coilovers
- Front/Rear Arbs

Anyone done a similar mods and was the result worth it?

1.8T engine is good for modifications so yeh do it!

R-Tech are masters of 1.8T, 2.0TFSI so you will be in good hands.
