Frequently asked questions
What are the best mods to start with on an Audi TT Mk1 (8N)?
Start with what you actually want to change about the car. On a 1.8T, a remap is an obvious option if you want more performance, while suspension or brake upgrades can make a big difference to the way the TT feels on the road. The 3.2 V6 needs a different approach, so it's worth checking what suits your engine before buying parts.
Will performance parts fit both the 1.8T and 3.2 V6 versions of the TT Mk1?
Not always. Anything tied closely to the engine will usually be specific to the version of the TT you have, and fitment can vary elsewhere on the car too. Check the product listing against your exact model before ordering. If you're still not sure, give the Awesome GTI team a shout and we can help you work it out.
What does an induction kit actually do on a TT Mk1?
An induction kit changes the intake setup that feeds air into the engine. Depending on the design, it can reduce restriction and give the car more induction noise when you put your foot down. On the 1.8T, it's a popular modification, but it's still worth choosing one that suits the engine and the rest of your setup.
Is it worth fitting aftermarket suspension to a TT Mk1?
It can completely change the way an older TT feels. Lowering springs are a simpler option if you mainly want to change the ride height, while coilovers give you more adjustment. How firm you want to go depends on what the car is used for, so a daily-driven TT may need a different setup to something you mainly bring out for a weekend blast.
