Been to Revo Gloucestershire today for Revp 3" decat downpipe and stage 2 software  :driver: :driver: :driver:

Great upgrade, sounds amazing now and turbo spooling up much quicker.

Now what do i need for stage 2+ or 3  :signLOL:

Stage 2+: Loba HPFP and RS4 return fuel pressure valve.

Upgraded brakes and suspension?

Better tyres?

More money? :laugh:

New cam follower and revision g diverter valve fitted. Car feels a lot more responsive now but could just be in my mind.

Gave it a wash and polish too

Few little jobs done over the last few days, fitted the drivers side folding wing mirror, and chrome tipped fuel flap switch before rain stopped play. Passenger side to be done (hopefully) on Monday. Also fitted LED sidelight bulbs.


Full VCDS Hex + Can.

Wow - they look fantastic! Do you get the needle sweep when ignition is turned on?
Any details of cost and which bits are required for this? pm me if you like

Oh, and popped in a LED kit - all interior bulbs changed, its like daylight in there now haha.  Also did the glovebox, boot, sidelights and changed the rear number plate lights for the units with 16 SMD LED's in per unit.

Popped in a set of Philips Extreme headlight bulbs too.

Interested to know the difference the pre  cat removal made mate.  I have a Milltek non resonated cat back exhaust and tempted to do it to mine for a bit more noise.
