I've got two passenger rides booked already  :grin: (yours & Robins!)

Looking forward to getting some ideas for an intake  :drool:

Itg and powerflow cat back,was the highest stage 1 nick had remapped from what he said. The second cat is still in place and hasn't been touched which seen for myself on Rtech ramp.just pre cat cut out and pipe welded back together.wasn't expecting it to be done this way but my mechanic said a lot easier for him. Didn't question him as he knows all about vag cars and done many complete rebuilds. He's done his own car from scratch with a mint Volkswagen carrodo with a r32 lump in running front wheel drive

Air filter makes a huge difference then  :drool:

I got 248.3bhp from R-tech with just a panel filter in the air box and the pre-cat removed
Is that stock map? :surprised:  just a filter & pre cat delete?

No it was R-Tech stage 1  remap also.

I'd be over the moon with an increase like that from a couple of cheap mods. . . Unfortunately not possible  :grin:
