Yeah one of the later ones, I think they do them up to 2002. I was considering one, then dug deeper to get the golf!

Id do exactly the same, well i'm planning to when I finally get some money coming in and some saved up! Both options i'd remap though, nothing agressive, just so they unleash a bit more poke for when your that way inclined.

the 306 needs it imo, its 92bhp without, 115ish with a none aggressive one, makes all the difference in normal driving. The golf's don't need it half as much although i'd still be inclined to do it.

yes..
dampened crank pullys give up breaking drive belt, which goes through a hole in the cam cover, totally fu(king things up.
dual mass flywheels give up.
injectors go out of tune...
just a few of the many faults.
VAG is sooo much more reliable.
