2 new boots on the front and tracking done  :happy2:

Carbon vinyl wrapped my steering wheel inserts to match the rest of my bits!

Tightened all the loose dash/trim screws to stop squeaking/rattling!

Shouldn't that be rev. N  for your engine?? . Isn't R for a much later engine??  :confused:

That's what vw gave me, I gave them the rev N part no and it wasn't showing on their system.

Will it be fine or should I remove it? It runs fine.

Wasn't exactly today but over the weekend I fitted this little pile of bits to my car..



New BBT hybrid with every nut, stud, gasket ect associated with the turbo was also replaced. Along with a bigger CTS discharge pipe, new plugs, follower and will be getting fresh oil tonight.



Heat wrapped my downpipe too while it was off.

Collecting a TTRS low pressure in tank pump and a new Rev G DV tonight, nearly all ready to go down to R Tech this weekend to be mapped, can't wait!

Front nearside spring snapped on Saturday morning.  :surprised:

Hadn't even started the engine, got in then hear a loud Twang noise.  Jacked it up and the top coil has snapped off and slid down the dust boot!

Car has done 65k (57 plate GTi)  Apparently according to my local garage a very common occurrance  in all makes of cars these days. still gutted, push bike to work for 4 days  :jumpmove:

Yesterday saw a full paint correction, highlighting I need to do a lot of stone chip filling, wet sanding, and get the dent man out!

On the plus side, its shiny!

After doing many logs on my forge twintake and taking the time to strip the filters down and realise there terrible I ordered these bad boys and made a hybrid as the flow rate was nowhere near for stage 2+
Extremely happy and the noise is epic, my friend owns the company so got them cheap too!!
