    Race Blue MK3 FL VRS

    Nice! Get a turbo muffler delete - £55 off ebay for a simple one (looks the same) - Fantastic noises form all this induction!

    Exhaust - Only needs a res delete to get some nice noise.

     

    Rieger diffuser is about £180 and a great OEM looking piece of kit. Easy to swap over too.

     

    I have the Maxton splitter which I think looks awesome - So does the Rieger but it's a lot more expensive!

    That's perfect, thanks @creamvRS.  MRC recommend the R600 intake but suggest the Turbo Technics intake pipe and don't bother with the muffler.  Tempted to go for the full VWR kit as you have - it's quality kit with OEM looks, and they'll fetch good money when the time comes to sell up.  Hard to come by second hand at the moment though!

     

    Yeah, I really want to attend a meet but we're away this weekend - at a toddler festival :o  Don't ask!

     


    I shopped round FB marketplace and ebay - Got the hose in blue brand new from Awesome gti for £90 posted next day. R600 was £220 ish, elbow was ebay used £75 and muffler delete (which is wicked and makes a wicked woosh when letting off acceleration) £65 off FB.

    Yeah I cannot wait for the gains!

    So far I've purchased new/used VW R600 induction kit which is the full box and filter, racing line hose, racing line elbow and racing line turbo muffler delete - Suction noise is wicked

     

    Exhaust I'm a bit frankenstein - Had smaller back boxes put on which made no difference, then had a mid res delete which gave the noise to the exhaust. Then I've purchased a 3" milltek downpipe with 200cell sport cat (used off a Golf GTI) but I still have stock Y joint which I really should change.

     

    I've also upgraded to like £120 NGK racing spark plugs in prep for stage 2.

     

    DSG too so is quick already but I know Stage 1 and beyond just transforms it.

     

    I booked my map session with Shark off a charity day and they were doing discounts so it was £325 :)

     

    I wanna slay some Golf R boys :D

    Thought about Skodafest this Sunday?

    Cheers creamvrs :thumbup: The build quality of the Russian strut does actually look better now comparing the 2 especially the ends of the strut on the Russian version looks more triangle'd, tougher, & I see there is a bit of the strut that is thinner? do you know if the Russian strut comes as red or blue, I will probably get it powder coated (Black, pearl white, yellow, lime green loads of other colours) :giggle: :D can't decide B) but would cope with either colour of whats delivered.


    Mine and Ant's came like a flat blue. Nice finish. I went for Porsche Acid Green and powder coaters came back with like Skoda Metallic Green - I then couldn't be arsed to do my calipers too so re-did strut in post box red.

    Ant fit mine at the weekend - Caps of wipes, bolts off wipes, boiling water poured on then pull wipers off. Scuttle out.

     

    then 3 top mount bolts off but might be best on a flat surface as we did it on sloping drive and the top mount moved out of line.

     

    fit it, it's snug - Thne bolt up, and reverse - scuttle back, wipers on etc.

     

    We have the russian one - Cost about £35 item, £35 postage, £25 customers

     

    Then got powder coated here for £10-20

    did you have any issues with the reps as the pretorias dont have a lot of metal and a pal was trying to talk me out of pret reps as a winter wheel. any buckling etc?

     

    Only been on 2 days! Lots of Golf R boys stating a lot stronger than legit prets (despite a bit heavier) and getting good reviews.
