Louis Hitimana initially purchased the 2006 Volkswagen GTI because of his long history of being a VW/Audi enthusiast. It’s the GTI’s looks and tuning ability, however, that sealed the deal as his platform. Since making the purchase, Hitimana has equipped the GTI with a Forge Twintake air intake, Unitronic Stage 1+ ECU and an AutoPilot V2 Digital Air Management. Hitimana also has plans for a customization of the interior.
