First time since ownership I gave the Titty a full detail. Took 2 days which include fitting a V6 bumper but I think was well worth it. Interior took a few hours but now smelling fresh. I can't stop sneaking out the house for a peek as it's never looked better.

The unit would be plug and play but if you add the bluetooth and mic you would need it coding. I think (can't remember) if you have the maxi dot display vcds would be needed to get the directions showing. As said coding is quick so find a member to help out. I tried the cheepish ebay ones but there really not as good compared plus they gave little integration with the rest of the car.

Yes

Dyno graph. The rollers apparently read low at midland vw but. Dark blue line was when the stage 2 was first put on. I had a duff n249 valve so leaking boost. Pink line was this mornings first run. Light Blue line today's last run with the revo map given more timing and a bit more boost.

Source of the noise was from me removing the rubber seal from the scuttle panel. Nice and quiet again now it's back on. The coil packs made a huge difference in the power delivery and all round smoothness of the engine. Look sweet too. The rocker cover needed a repainting to so gone for black high temp this time. A quick snap from today's visit to midland vw for Chris to tweek the revo map and new cv boots.

Most of the money is spent on refinement and noise reduction and ease of assembly. 90% of engine components will be a compromise because of this.

The webbing/baffle is more likely there to reduce the noise from the turbo Imo. The audi tt has a baffled charge pipe too for this reason. The air flowing through the pipes would be turbulent anyway and the ribs would probly aid in generating laminar flow - think of the mesh in a maf sensor.

just received some goodies from Awesome GTI. ECS R8 coil packs and holder plate. Real nice bit of kit and compared to the price for just the OEM coil packs of £134 the upgraded ones and mount plate came to £147 with next day delivery. Will post some pics up later on today. Also got a new noise - sounds like tappet rattle or something wondering if its only appeared since i replaced the oil cooler. Doesn't sound nice at all so think ill replace the breather prv check valves and inspect the hoses. hopefully nothing to worry about but it wasnt there a few weeks ago.

New oil cooler fitted along with thermostat. I noticed the expansion tank was going a bit yellow even tho it was new a few months ago. I thought this oil coolant heat exchanger could be the culprit. Not exacly interesting but some pics anyway. Draining coolent Expansion tank removed And cleaned Thermostat buried away. Oil drained then filter removed exposes the oil cooler. Oil cooler off. And new cooler in. Re attached all pipes and filled with fluids and she's away again. Peace of mind job more than anything.

Make a difference on number 9 then? More top end? With that 7 speed it does fly through the gears Still impressed on the comfort with the air ride!

Yea it's my daily. Iv a soft spot for this motor. Any thought on these logs? I think I'm a bit down on power for a stage 2 revo. A quick maf reading is showing 213 so roughly 255bhp.

Ramair filter fitted today. Needed a bit trimming off the inlet pipe to fit but nice piece of kit for the price.

reduced price

Plus a random on of the boost gauge reading at idle.it's raining and I'm bored. (Inhg)

Also working on a diy filter and heatshield setup. Step 1 complete but will take it from here. I want something that looks good but works. I think I want something similar to the velocity stack that draft42 do but with a foam filter not a k&n
