Go for a remap that will give you a nice chunk of power and torque. If you join the VWAUDIFORUM they have deals on remaps for roundabout £250 with before and after sessions on the rolling road. Also most people see an improvement in fuel consumption as well.

A chap i know got his 55 plate Bora done at Jabbasport and ended up with 190 bhp plus over 300 ft lbs of torque. He still gets 50 mpg plus on a run. Jabbasport are not cheap but as i previously mentioned there are deals on the other forum.

My mate had the saloon version of yours lowered nicely, not slammed and it handled really well but alas some toerag t boned him at a junction and that was the end of his Passat. I have a B5.5 Passat tdi and love it, big comfy and goes well plus it swallows the miles with very little wear and tear.


These produced up to 150 BHP as standard, and I bet it wont put the power down in the wet!

A mate of mine got over 200BHP out of his with meth injection, a bigger intercooler and a hybrid turbo

Well I'm off home next week, and considering the weather up there is the worst in the country, I figured I'd need these babies..

Slammage has occurred.

Also colour coded the bumpers, fitted GT front fog lights, and got rid of the tow bar. If anyone's wondering what the hell is going on with my bonnet,

someone sat on it. I managed to get most of the dent out, but decided to draw on it to hide what remained. Then I got a bit carried away..

Started like this..
