Martin's Tornado Red DSG Edition 30

Let me know when you're free sometime, wouldn't mind another listen to it. Is the rumble/burble still loud on idle too?

I had @RetroRaz help with the intake on the weekend. Here's how it looks now with the engine cover modified too:

Yeah I'd be up for meeting up mate, will have a look when I'm free! Yeah it still has a nice rumble on tick over it has toned it down a little but you know it's there :)

Intake looks sweet mate! Really like the modified engine cover too, did you do the trimming yourselves or did you buy it already done? How does the ram air sound compared to the revo on mine is it as load?

My mate Raz actually did the cutting of the engine cover the same day, as I didn't want to fit the intake without fitting the engine cover.

To be honest, it's not as loud as I expected it to be (kinda expected mad whooshing noises like yours!). Again, you may like mine, as it has a civilised whooshing/suction noise when you put your foot down.

We'll need to compare them again. Just let us know when you are free sometime.

By the way what did you do with your decat pipe?

Sounds like he was a big help then mate, I was tempted to do mine but wanted the option to put it back on for whatever reason!

Oh really, I thought the ram air was louder than the revo tbh, I'll definitely have to have a listen then, I do love the revo intake ticks all the boxes for me!

I'll drop you a pm to sort something out then mate, and regarding the decat pipe I still have it, I've put it up on the for sale section on here but not sold it yet so spread the word if you know of anyone after one!

Hi Dan, I was wondering if you had noticed my build thread, don't know whether you remember I spoke to you regarding the car when I bought it back in April?

Cheers mate, still loving the car now, decided to get her back to stage 2+ as she was when you were the owner :) have you still got your Golf R?

I've stopped modding the 6R for now...
Last time I went up the strip I got a 11.95
I think my terminal speed was 115mph

Been meaning to do an update on here for a while, done a few things to the car in the last couple of months..

The biggest update being the BCS turbo back sports exhaust with 200 cell sports cat, originally I went for decat which was a little too loud for me but did sound mental, now I've swapped to a sports cat it's perfect! Nice and quiet just a slightly deeper tone over standard but when you put your foot down and boost kicks in WOW what a sound! Anyone thinking of buying one just do it :)


Changed the cam follower for piece of mind, it didn't look too bad at all (old one on the right) but I changed it anyway, nice easy job too!


Had two new tyres on the front went for Michelin PS4's, very impressed with these tyres for the price would definitely recommend them!

Fitted white led number plate lights to freshen up the rear end, I got the genuine vw ones from eBay part num 1K8943021C for anyone that might want some.


That's about it up too now, next job will be to book in at VW to do a DSG service as it's due soon, was going to do it myself but after pricing up for genuine oil/filter VW don't actually charge much more to have it done with them plus I haven't got to get my hands dirty :)

And just a few recent pics after a New Year's Day clean!

Present from the Mrs for Christmas..

Nice little update fella 

Looks all nice and clean.

Not sure if I told you but I finally fitted the rear bumper on mine the other week. The exterior is finally finished. Will send you some pics.

Hope you're keeping well otherwise. We are hoping to arrange a mini meet next month if you wanna come to that you're more than welcome. I'm sure some of the other lads would love to see your car.

Thanks for the kind words rash!

No you didn't, that's awesome though :) bet it's nice to tick that off the list isn't it? Yeah send some pics, bet it looks miles better now doesn't it? You should make a build thread on here!
