All Things Mk5 > Performance Modifications
Stage2+ worry it ?

Decided that it’s fast enough as it is and to put my money into another car .... I have the revo intake and not a fan of the noises it makes . I also have the polar fis thing that gives me all sorts of read outs . Going from the standard intake to the revo one , the intake temps dramatically dropped , so the induction kit will be stay on ... also I think they are good for a genuine 15bhp gain .

At part throttle or in boost? I can see the former happening, but not the latter. Haven't noticed much difference with my IATs in boost with the Revo intake. It does make a difference to performance, but enough of a difference to make the noises worth living with? Hmmmmm, I'm not sure tbh.
What car you getting next?

On normal driving and in boost .... it may well be to do with the fact that since I’ve had it installed ( revo intake that is ) that the weathers got a lot colder ... intake temps never seems to get above 10 degrees over ambient , usually only 5 degrees over .
Looking out for a nice mk1 golf ...more of a show and shine type thing , low ,bbs Wheels ect . Probably never find one to be honest , as all the good ones just seem to get sold to friends /club members . If one does come along I’ll end up selling the Pirelli and buying something cheap . The S2k won’t be going anywhere though :ashamed:

Ah OK. My intake temps are low with the Revo and the stock intake. I would only pay attention to them in boost tbh. The sensor is very close to the head, so the readings are skewed at idle and urban driving. Once you crack the throttle open the temps drop right down again.
Nice! I've had a few MK1s. I don't know how far back you go into the scene, but in the mid 90s my MK1 inspiration was Simon Faier's (or could be Fayres) Candy Apple blue MK1 with a polished 16V in it, sitting on 17" Stil Auto sigma alloys. It was my poster car. And from an engineering perspective, Jereon Dik's G60 MK1 tore up the 1/4 mile every year. Do you remember Awesome's MK1 VR6? That was before they turned into a mailorder company :happy2:

Was more into the dub scene when i had my g40 .... so I guess that was around 99 , when I was 18/19 ... seems like a life time ago !!
Always loved the mk1..... but also have a really soft spot for the mk2/3 polo .. so if one of those came up I’d have that also ( also about a 3rd of the cost of a nice mk1 golf !! )
.... actually thinking about it a polo would be better ( financial) as then I’d keep the Pirelli :rolleye:
