So actually got the car back tonight, bit later than i expected but nevermind.

Took her out for a 2 hour test drive. what a difference. i can actually pull away without looking like a twat stalling my car.

Gear changes seem to be smoother aswell and it comes down the gears quicker but this is maybe just me lol.

Big thanks to slaters garage in nottingham they have been great and must of been fed up with me on the phone constantly.

Now got another dilema....

I need the dsg mapped again and am booked in at rtech on the 18th of march. but there is a place 20min from me that does the revo maps and as much as rtech are the best from what i read. am talking myself out of the 6hour drive to rtech at 3am. not sure what to do. 

I was reading about the revo sps controller aswell, and that sounds appealing with the map changes. as i do some motorway miles. also the anti theft thing aswell sounds good.

Got a peron intercooler on its way and a new milltek backbox to go on. it already has a milltek but i lost a tailpipe and it being a bit old my impulse buying took over.


EDIT... Ditched the revo idea rtech here we come on the 1st of april at 12 oclock.

Finally no rain so got the polish and the wax out and gave her a good polish then a good waxing. then took her up loch lomond for a few pictures.



I'm brutal with a camera but i think the pictures are not bad.

car looks great mate!
open fog grills would be a nice addition!
how much was the peron? ive seen posts about a revised peron intercooler? did they have issues to begin with or just improved on the original design?

Hi mate. i got it from jussa on here. i wasn't aware of revised ic but from what i've heard seen these are better than ths which i had before and was happy so aslong as its good for what i need it for.

jussa sounds like he has a mega build on the go hence him selling but his was good for over 400bhp. so not sure what hes going for now.

I take it your looking for an intercooler lol?

Yeah i have thought about the open fog grills. its on my list of impulse buys haha.

either of them are great ic's so can't go wrong.

I try and tell myself am not buying anything else. before i know it an intercooler is turning up

With the bumper coming off it could be perfect timing for they open fog grills aswell lol.

Good luck with stage 2/2+

Another update...

Thought the thermostat was done but it turned out to be the fans.

Things i fitted.
front two vw radiator fans.
peron intercooler. (finally got it on)
vw main thermostat.
vw coolant temp sensor.
Front open fog inserts "thanks to Mitch h puting it in my head haha"

Moved R-tech back to the 8th of april for some tweeks, due to the fans packing in.

Anyone need an s3 alloy intercooler give me a shout. or a used vw condesner.
