I have had my GTI for about 2 weeks now, and I would really like to add some mods to it. Does anybody have any suggestion of what to do to modify my 06 GTI with a budget of around $1000? In terms of preformance
You need to spend some time reading the chip forum. make sure to keep the stock program, and get a remote. Before wheeling into the dealer, change back to stock.
honestly i brought mine to the dealership to get the 5k service and they didnt ask me anything about a chip. i actually talked to a dealer inside later and he said that sometimes they will ask you to sign a paper asking if they can re-flash yer ECU but if you have a chip you are allowed to say no... so really yer warranty is voided if they suspect a chip or they are pretty sure you have one. the only way it will void it is if something breaks because of it (like the turbo).
...and if the turbo (or anything else) breaks, couldn't you just set the ECU back to stock and then they'll never know? (i'm also thinking about a chip in the near future.)
