ive owned my 2.0tfsi vrs for a year since new and absolutely love it, however i found it frustratingly lacking in the midrange when chasing the slightly more powerful meganes and focus STs.

So after reading your articles on chipping i have just ordered a bluefin remap module for it, and hopefully it will make a very good car an awesome car. looking forward to returning from iraq in a month and giving it a good belting down the autobahn.

however my query is that will the brakes be up for the extra 40 bhp, maybe perfomance disc and pad change with braided brake pipes, or revo can do a brembo 4 pot brake kit for 1100 queen quids incl fiting, im just not sure if that might play havoc with the ABS.

also has anyone trialled suspension, and exhaust upgardes who fancys passing on the knowledge.

your help would be great, cheers

Brakes are mostly rated as being up to the job, even by those with more power; no need to spend your hard earned Queen's Shillings on Brembos.

Personally though I would recommend uprated front pads. I use Ferodo DS2500s but EBC Red Stuff are used by others (they're a bit cheaper). Do a search for more info.

Suspension; most frequently applied are eibach lowered springs with Koni FSD shocks, followed perhaps by uprated anti-roll bars (again plenty of info if you 'search').

Good luck, and enjoy the Autobahns.
