    Tunning potential

    piggybacking off of this post, it really does depend on how much you wanna spend. a mate has the older 2.0tfsi (bwa) and did a k04 conversion (turbo, hpfp, intercooler, decat etc) and is pushing around 350bhp. the thing is a weapon but he paid a lot to get there. so yeah, the potential is...

    Rusted sil/side skirt - can it be replaced?

    They get ground down. The person who did the welding should do it really, before covering the fresh metal with a coat of primer to stop it rusting
