    My dream mods would be:

    - Engine Mounts that never will snap.. (will see if this VF Engineering stuff is the sheet).
    - Suspension parts that will never break or die
    - Dogbox that never breaks or dies (Straight cut gears)
    - Those wheels that won't break or damage that I saw on the forum here !
    - 2L stroker kit, if there is one out there.
    - A chip that is fully customisable, not like a GIAC/MTM/Oettinger pre sets or standalone...

    But my the only mod for my car I wish and never will have is...
    - Roads that are sealed, flat as a pancake with no imperfections.

    More on the way, just need to remember...

    You could put together a 2L stroker kit for about 6 or 7K in parts

    As far as I know, there is some slight customization allowable with GIAC, APR and REVO chipsets. They have their own software they can use to make minor adjustments, such as V-tune from APR and Lemmiwinks from Revo. I think GIAC does custom tuning, with $$$'s being the limitation, even so far as being able to change from a K03 to K04 and being able to use the same chip, as long as you get it re-tuned to suit the new turbo. However, if if you wanted to run a gt28 the Maf , injectors , exhaust , intercooling etc would have to increase to a similar percentage to what the extra power will be running at, or you would need a more powerful engine management system.

    Oh, and my dream mod is a car that is not STILL in the panel shop!!!!!!!!!!!!

    According to the cover story that Zoom ran a few years ago, it cost Hans Dahlback USD $300,000.

    Where do I start (been saving replying to this one untill I've had enough time).

    Atm I have got and fitted:

    -APR tuned
    -ABD turbo intake pipe
    -BMC pannel
    -3 inch piping for modified airbox
    -Eibach springs

    At home I have waiting to go on:

    -Rieger rear apron and skirts (not convinced about the skirts though...)

    In the mail at the moment I should have:

    -Boser extension
    -Badgeless grill
    -Whiteline front and rear sway bars

    Once that all arives, I'll get it all painted up and fitted.

    Things to get shortly in the near future:

    -Neuspeed intercooler pipe replacement
    -N75J
    -Boost gauge
    -Wheels - hopefully gold centre BBS LM's 18x8 front and 18x10 rear but it's still very much up in the air atm.
    -Short shifter
    -R32 interior (wheel and triming)

    Moving forward in good time

    -K04 upgrade with all associated bits n bobs
    -APR FMIC
    -APR re-tuned to match
    -KW V2's
    -Bora front end (BOLF)

    That's about all for now...

    I have the GIAC chip and although I never have, what you say is correct, it can be re-tuned..

    Mods on my car are:
    GIAC ECU chip (Max 1.2bar)
    GFB Hybrid Blow Off Valve
    BMC CDA (Carbon fibre cold air intake and air box)
    Scorpion 2.5" stainless steel exhause from the cat-back, with twin 2.5" tail piece (had to get the 4motion rear valace to suit). Well worth the effort, it sounds great, tail piece looks quite similar to the gen 5 gti's (I had it first
    R32 pedal covers.

    If I was keeping it, I'd add some slightly stiffer suspension and then it would be perfect..

    Unfortunately it's for sale as I'm relocating for work- see my new thread if you're keen.
