  #3 26-12-2011, 02:48 PM VW recommends the Castrol for its engines, and i stick to it as if you dont it voids any warranty (if your car is new enough to have one still). Mods that won't ruin fuel consumption are a ENGINEERED SRI or CAI (Short Ram or Cold Air Intake), exhaust, and a chip tune; I recommend APR if available (i dunno if they do tunes on the 1.6) On my 2.5L inline 5 golf this would see hp gains of around 25-35hp not sure on the torque figures though, and I'm unsure of the gains you will see on the 1.6. I mean these are really all the cheap easy performance mods you can do beyond this it becomes very expensive, next step would be stage 2 tune and a new downpipe which will greatly improve your top end. Edit: Just looked at my manual VW RECOMMENDS the Castrol but any 5w40 FS oil works so pick what you want sigpic Volkswagen Golf MK5 - Dubbin' Since 2010

  #5 28-12-2011, 01:18 PM If you use a boost controller, and up the boost w/out a reflash you'll get a CEL. So Reflash is a must for mods, I gained about 40-45HP w/my reflash (2.0 FSI) for about $550 The biggest gain in hp, and the best (arguably) mod you can do to a turbo VW is a reflash, also called a tune or a chip. You will gain tons of HP for very little money. I think the MK6 (the new one) Polo GTI gets 60BHP w/just the reflash. Revo is a big name in EU, I'd go for them. Theres probably one near you Welcome to REVO http://www.revotechnik.com/index.php?mod=volkswagen Revo was born from adrenaline-fuelled success in championship winning race teams. Inspired by the track and developed for the road, it’s the how and why we do what we do that makes us unique. Our ethos is simple; create products that truly perform and excite. By extensively testing throughout the design process we achieve unrivalled quality and performance that Only Revo can offer. Our drive is to deliver the thrill you expect, and the performance Only The Driven demand. We don’t create prod But if you can find a Unitronic tuner, go for them, you get the most power for the least amount of money Last edited by Heco94; 28-12-2011, 01:22 PM. sigpic
