Stage 1 remap done! Impressive numbers, not just for me but also for the JBS guys. Scirocco hit 313 bhp which isn't unusual however this was done running 95 octane fuel! Honestly I wasn't expecting more than 300 bhp on 95 for stage 1 and was thinking 315 to 320 for stage 2 on 95. I'm very happy with the results!

After much deliberation and endless hours of researching, FINALLY found a set of wheels that would actually look decent inside the Scirocco arches. 

They are Bola B1's, 18x8.5 ET30 - they sit just right on the car, as flush as it can be. 

 

I'm really happy with my decision! 😄

 

Tyres are Uniroyal Rainsport 5's 235/40R18

Also did a resonator delete to try and improve a bit of the audio inside the cabin, which I'm not sure has worked to be honest even though it sounds WAAAY better from the outside...

OK they're Hellaflush, but they're still 6 spoke rims with 5 bolt hubs.

That they are, is THAT a problem?! 😂

I think the wheels look great 👍😎

 

Five studs and six spokes?! OMG that's like an...  an.... HP sauce bottle having four sides, but a round lid 😱
