Frequently asked questions

What's the best VW Bora tuning upgrade for more power?

The best VW Bora tuning upgrade is a remap paired with supporting hardware. For the 1.8T 20V, a Stage 1 software upgrade with an induction kit and uprated intercooler delivers strong gains. For the 1.9 TDI, a PD remap, and a Pipercams camshaft work brilliantly.

Are VW Bora parts still available for older models?

Yes, VW Bora parts are still widely available, covering everything from servicing items to performance upgrades. We stock kits for all engine variants, including the 1.4, 1.6, 1.8T 20V, 1.9 SDI/TDI, 2.0, 2.3 and 2.8 VR6.

Are VW Bora mods worth doing on a 1.9 TDI?

Yes, VW Bora mods are well worth doing on the 1.9 TDI. A remap, induction kit, and uprated clutch transform the driving experience without hammering fuel economy. The PD engines respond particularly well to camshaft upgrades, too.

Is the Bora 2.8 VR6 a good platform for tuning?

Yes, the Bora 2.8 VR6 is a fantastic tuning platform with a serious enthusiast following. The naturally aspirated VR6 responds well to intake, exhaust and ECU work, and there's a strong supply of supporting parts, including brakes, suspension and bodystyling.

Can I fit VW Bora parts at home?

Some VW Bora parts are easy DIY jobs, including badges, wind deflectors and basic accessories. Others, like camshafts, big brake kits, and air ride, are best handled by our fully equipped workshop staffed by experienced VAG technicians.
