so you have alot of money int it haha. Idk how extreme I want to get. Right now I believe it has a rocketchip tune, and straight pipe exhaust. Maybe some injectors and a larger turbo and clutch one day. but for now I am happy with the economy I am getting. Plus my 2006 is heavier than your 2000.

Nozzles would def help your mileage better. I love the mk5 body style!

I absolutly love the car. I dont spend much time in the city, most of my driving is on country roads or highways. I was pretty excited about my 50mpg tank, and I am still learning to drive the car, my economy gets better with each tank i run through it. I am trying to contact the previous owner to see if it was actually a rocketchip tune that was done.

You can pull the tune up with vcds.. it will tell you what its running.

The more you learn you car, the better mileage will get, believe me.

It's a good investment. VCDS will tell you anything and everything about your beautiful Volkswagen.

Idk which one I need or anything about them really. I just looked at prices. Maybe later this year when I can afford it I will look into it more. BUt it would be nice to be able to check out my car without needing someone else.
