panel filter = wouldnt bother , maybe fit a new OE element if it hasnt been changed for a long time.
best save your money for a proper intake which will give you gains  :happy2:

Good idea to change your oem paper panel filter every time you do an oil service.

I am hoping to sort out a Revo Stage 1 at the end of the month (2005 GTI), just curious as to whether others would reccomend a replacement panel filter at the same time? Does it make a difference? I presume that the Stage 1 is a standard map and whoever applies it (i'm in Surrey if people can reccomend anyone) won't be tweaking it?

Only experience I've had around this was with my old Leon where F1 in Brighton fitted a Custom Code map and chucked in a K&N filter as part of the deal. No idea if it made a difference or is recommended.  :confused:

Thanks in advance
Ian

I had a pipercross panel filter fitted at the same time as I had my car AMD stage 1 remapped. I did not have a dyno run with/without panel filter so cannot say if it makes much difference but I thought for the cost of it and the free fitting why not plus I am sure it feels better for it(probably psychological only). The car was so much better after the remap anyway. Stage 2 is a huge improvement again!

I have used AMD in Essex who always seem to do a good job. They do revo and their own remapping with before and after dyno runs. Where abouts are you in Surrey.?

ianjmclean:
Thanks guys,

I am just outside Horsham in Surrey. Have had quotes from TC Garage in Sussex and Tutts (VW Specialist) in Dorking for a Revo Stage 1, 4 new Eagle F1 tyres and new pads all round. Will look up JKM.

What is a divertor valve, and what benefits will replacing it have?

vRS Carl:
Just get the new OEM diverter valve (it's a electrically controlled valve that is attached to the Turbo)

The old ones had a rubber diaphragm that was prone to splitting. The new one is a piston type so it wont split :happy2:

Richn83:
The advantage is that it will either leak loosing you boost pressure and power, or the addition of a map that requests extra boost will cause the old one to fail, so if you want extra power then its a small cost but very worthwhile as you will loose any benefit from a map if you have a boost leak.
