1.2 TSI ITECH 2014 - What to mod?

[rdraheim]

To be honest, I'm shocked by two things on these cars:

1. Throttle response is rubbish and the difference between the EA211 and EA111 is night and day. (I'd think a pedal box would be the biggest fun maker per pound with a manual gearbox).
2. Turbo upgrades are relatively inexpensive and would create a different experience (I haven't done turbo swaps since my B5 S4 and my 7M-GTE as I have two children now and need reliability ... but the EA211 hybrid turbo kit out there look quite good).

There are throttle amplifiers of sorts that are available. Unsure what difference it would make on these but ive used 'pedal commanders' in the past. Some say they are a bit of a snake oil product but i personally feel like I have noticed a difference in cars ive put them in

yep definitely a decent selection of bolt on mods available for most VAG engines
