All Things Mk5 > Performance Modifications
Best sounding intake

@gixerben I think it was fitted at 85K, it's now on 130K. If I had known back then about the TTRS pressure plate option, I wouldn't have gone Helix. Good to hear you have the revised version. It might work out a lot better than mine has!
Agreed on the anxiety and paranoia that must afflict Golf R owners these days. It's not worth the stress. The severely underfunded police certainly aren't going to do much, if anything. A well tuned MK5 offers most of the performance of a Golf R, but without it being a rolling theft invitation. I would never own a 7R anyway. Chances are some skinny legged, baggy arsed jean wearing baseball cap tw@t leased and ragged the f'ck out of it.
The 8V S3 is the wiser move, and give it the full TDI make over. Dull as dishwater to look at, but the performance is there, and better made than the Golf. And you can sleep soundly at night. Just put the key in a faraday box, just in case!

What a world we live in that we have to think about a Faraday pouch to protect angles of attack. Sweet Christmas.
I would suck off a dead leper for a mint, DSG, Steel Grey with wingbacks. I don't even think they fitted wingbacks to a ED30, but still, a man can dream right? :thinking: :grin:

I very nearly bought a MK7 Golf R a few Years ago until the Day before I was going to view one found out that 2 had been stolen the Night before, Both within a Mile Radius of where I live.
I went for a MK6 Golf R DSG instead.
Onto the Intake, I have only ever had 1 and went for the Revo on my MK6 Golf R. Lasted about 500 Miles, Totally did my head in so I refitted the Standard Air Box with a VWR Panel Filter.

It seems Golf Rs are being targeted for their wheels and brakes at the moment, and anything else of value that will sell on ebay. Brazen scumbags literally put cars on bricks on dealer forecourts and nick the rims and brakes, usually smashing a back window to get into the boot for the wheel bolt key and jack.
I wouldn't even own a MK6 R for that reason, let alone a 7. Edition 30s and Pirellis are probably targets for their wheels and model specific parts also.
What a world we live in? Well, that's completely f'cked as I keep saying. Nature will kick in at some point to deal with the over population.
But closer to home, the country we live in is mega f'cked. Whilst everyone in parliament is focused on the shambolic mess that is Brexit, the country is rapidly becoming lawless. People are being stabbed and being burgled and there are no police task forces to deal with it. The few police that remain would rather sit on motorways catching speeders as it's less effort and less paper work. It won't be long before gangs of vigilantes start roaming the streets.
Anyway, wingbacks, only the R32 got those as an option. Revo intake, or any intake, totally agree. Noisy, nasty peices of junk that only free up power in an rpm band we seldom drive at.
