hi fred, I write you from Milano (Italy) and I look at your site for a long time. I have a Golf III seriesGT Special2 TDI 110hp that I have tuned to be better....
Here are the modifications...
1st I changed the priginal springs and shock absorbers with new ones by Eibach and Bilstein Sprint; I added also an aluminium bar between the top of the suspensions by OMP
2nd I changed the front brakes with the TAR-OX G-88 and the Pads with Pagid Racing Blue plus the aeroquip tubes (teflon + steel) for the brake fluid
3rd I changed the original alloy wheels (BBS RS 6x15 ET45mm) with the Radius R2 (7x15 ET32mm)(www.radius-autotech.com) and used as tyres the S-02 PolePosition by Bridgestone
4th I gave my engine in the hands of Angelo Bonalume (www.bonalume.it) and the gain was sensible considering also the fact that i have run 65.000 km yet and the turbine id to be revised because it is common for the VTG turbo to suffer the blocking of the mobile parts...
the result was 143,5hp and 297Nm, but it should have been 150hp!!!!!! Believe me it's absolutely incredible!!!!!!
I hope you won't mind if i send you as an attach two photos, one is the power graph after Bonalume applied an other ECU in parallel with the original (remapped with engine turned on and with the car moving) and
the other how the car is now (the photo is taken on the paddock behind the boxes in Monza track...
My best wishes for your site and a big CIAO to you... If you want more infos or photos write me, because I stil haven't yet may personal homepage. Soon...

Davide, if you are out there... Tell us more!
