Sorry for going off topic but is it a big job to change rods??.

What power are the standard rods rated for??. I thought they'd handle high 3 hundred's no bother.

I'll have a similiarish set up to this is why I'm asking.

They using ur car as guinea pig tho ?? Didn't Awesome GTIs grey Mk5 run this kit? Remember Regal taking the micky with them when Regal ran the GIAC/VF kit!

Would have thought with that car and Dan's Leon a uk map would have been sorted by now!

No the base Stage 3 kit is the "off shelf" setup, it's some follow up work with changes to the low pressure fuelling that will need a new calibration in the UK.

As Wigit says APR are based in the same offices/workshop as VWR/Racing Line.

KPM is still my preferred workshop of choice  :happy2:

Didn't realise that. Is the JKM RR full or do you think they could make an exception for you Steve?
