Let's talk about Racechip GTS Black

Yeah the DTUK boxes have a lot of adjustment & weather changes will upset them, you gotta play with them & talk with DTUK's customer service till you get it right for your car. Of the haters I've questioned on FB ( & there have been a few) 95% of them had a 2nd hand box some of which weren't even for the same engine, all of these guys said they didn't get great customer service but, in truth they didn't go further than DTUK asking them their Reg No. But, they can all tell you what errors they had, gotta be careful of the fake news, get whichever you are happier with, cars always go wrong hence, if I find customer service I'm happy with, I tend to stick with it. -

Looks pricey, more people have used the DTUK boxes for less money, more power & great customer service -
I drove my 1.4 TSI DSG (140 perhaps tuned up a touch) like I just stole it for all 42 months I had it. I couldn't kill with my total and utter mechanical unsympathetic behaviour, couldn't recommend it any higher, even my vRS245 needed new brakes before 4k miles

You can say what you like, it's called freedom of speech, don't worry about others, it's only the snowflakes that sweat the small stuff. -

MY2019 vRS orders who's got what coming?

Glad to see you've got your car @Scotty72 it has twin exhausts & are happy with it. I'd agree with you about the folding wing mirrors, I've previously cancelled an order over it. Electric seats are a neccesserty for anyone with lumbar issues, that manual lumbar support adjuster had about 2 positions I could get it to stay in & neither was comfortable for me. Regards the 19"/18" debate, I've been there. I brought & refurbed a set of Gemini's before getting my MY17 vRS245 & I'd have probably run them too. However, due to family holiday I ran the 19" for 10 days before switching to the 18", the 18" only stayed on the car a week, to say I didn't like them was an understatement. Enjoy your car -
Yeah lots of difference in sound, it hisses & oh boy can you hear it spool but above all it sounds like a dump value when you lift for a gear change What Revo haven't made clear is that the tube is metal & therefore, adds a bit raunch to the sound.

Been there, done that & got the T shirt. I didn't want the additional cost of 19" tyres so, I brought pre-loved 18" Gemini's, forked out on having them refurbed, all before the brand new car arrived. Drove the new car on 19's for a week before changing to the 18's, oh boy did I hate those 18's, felt so bad (compared to the 19's) they were only on the car 4 days. If you shop around you can get R19/235/35 around £105 for Eagle F1A3 or Michelin PS4S at £156.58 (incl.) at Costco with £50 off a pair or £130 a corner for the very best tyres ATM I known what are being fitted to mine

Stage 2 is hardly tuned to death & if you think it is I'm afraid you are sorely mistaken I take it you're still running the factory fitted P zero's
