Another update ....New intake time but this is one of these things i was not going to do and put it off a couple of times telling myself i will hate it but how wrong was i. i'm over the moon with this intake as we all know their are loads of intakes on the market i narrowed it down to two MST/REVO I've already had a REVO on a previous car and the MST had Excellent reviews and the build quality is second to none with the added benefit of a full heat shield round the filter i still need to get a heat shield for over the turbo but thats on it's way. Also removed the bonnet sound deadening as this was full of dirt and dead insects and looks so much better for a cleaner look.

Also received a parcel from awesome gti with some new NGK Iridium plugs and also decided to replace the coil packs for some red R8 items nothing wrong with the old plugs or coil packs but thought some new stuff was in order considering the age of the car and the coil packs seem to be original wow.  last of all i decided to remove the oil filler neck because it looked out of place in the engine bay without the original airbox fitted so much better now  nice and flush ,,

Thanks guys ,,, that’s the same thing I thought when I saw this intake MST PERFORMANCE really got this intake right with the crinkle black finish to the paintwork Which looks oem nice two tone silicone hoses and the enclosed heat shield around the filter They even throw in an air freshener and key ring

Another small update ....received the rear heat shield from creations Motorsport which was spot on perfect fitment and also ties in nicely with the intake and also cleans the rear of the engine bay  ..also decided to get a hpfp guard to protect that delicate sensor but even better than that it looks great in the engine bay.

Top one like in the caliper photo has the GTI pointing towards the hub which is correct.....the other one will not be if that makes sense.......my OCD LOL

Mini update ......as i have just brought something else new for the car as it was crying out for a new stereo ..The rdc300 it has replaced needed to go even in 2008 when the car was made it was basic mine did come with a mp3 dock under the arm rest but thats it . also aux port compatible.

Anyway onto the the new stereo. First of all its not original but a Chinese copy of a VW RNS 510 not only was it a great price but also brings the interior upto date plus it has everything.  The company i brought it from had excellent reviews and super fast delivery,,
