Default upgrading my tt

I want to run a mid to high 13 1/4 mile but I dont want to upgrade the turbo. What mods do I need to do, or what will get me close?

Default back seats, spare tire, tools....

passenger seat, HVAC, stereo, side windows, headliner and carpet, and sound deadening material you find. Your car will be faster and this will cost you nothing

I think the others point is that those numbers are tough to get out a 180 w/o turbo upgrade

Default okay, catback, CAI (TTDA), Chip (Revo appears to be an aggressive chip according...

to other posts i've read about Revo. APR is possibly one on the more tame chips of the chips available.

Some are even running custom exhaust from turbo back. exhaust manifold. I don't know for sure on the 225. But plan on some extensive modding for those numbers. Most here will agree that the TT is not (stock) a stop light (1/4 mile runner).

Weight is the TT's biggest problem to overcome. Sure the TT can handle it's own and with the proper mods it can perform. Catch is, you will have to mod it and at some point, you may want to consider upgrading to turbo.
