Yep, also cupra_k1 also guessed right way back in Reply #4  :congrats:

I must say there's been so many quality replies in this thread - Too many good ones to pick out just one or two. I didn't really expect so much interest.  :happy2:

....Yes, it's being fitted @ JKM on Friday and I'll post a short review with pics subsequently.  

At the moment my boost gauge is fitted in the side air vent.

....I think that if I was an employer interviewing a prospective employee one of my first questions would be: "Do you drive a GTI and/or are you on any car forums?" If the answer was yes, they wouldn't get the job!

....The best way to be! Same as I was within a year of leaving college. Worked literally 24/7 sometimes but then could take 4 hours for lunch if I wanted and holidays abroad whenever I had time and wanted. Continual battles with the feckin taxman but we won most of them and that was extremely satisfying.

....Oooh yes, I was forgetting. I'm first job on at JKM, so around 9:00am and then off to Guildford area for rest of the day.

I'm driving A27/M27 Eastbound > Portchester for a long lunch on Sunday though... Sunday morning any good? PM me if you prefer.
