What did you and your MKV do today?

[Rigsby]

Niki @ R-Tech advised me that the KO4 conversion is complete, so booked my train tickets for tomorrow. Can't wait to drive it[emoji592][emoji95][emoji95]
What do they charge mate for the conversion?

To do just the Turbo conversion is £450+vat. I also supplied ALL the required parts inc Turbo.
I've had that done, new ac rad, new ic, new injectors, inlet/valve walnut blast, new thermostat, new o/s wheel bearing and fitting and re fabrication of milly R32 exhaust. On top of that the STG2+ mapping. Now running 352hp/379tq[emoji592][emoji95]

So I got a twintake installed today, and I need some answers from someone who knows... The car is stage 1 and was mapped on original airbox. I cant help but feel its slower with the twintake fitted? [emoji23]

That'll be the Bernoulli effect in action. Lower gas speed in larger diameter tubing causing low speed torque / response to drop off.

Surely this would occur for any intake though?

Picked these up today from @Stig_gti 
Going black for winter look

Bought a 55' GTI few weeks ago and done maintenance slowly: oil, oil filter, front brake discs, pads, shields and caliper carrier bolts. Today I replaced my Cam follower and the condition looked brand new which was a huge relief due to no receipt or mention of it being replaced; replaced it with a brand new one anyway for complete peace of mind.

Welcome to the forum @AMouldyLemon
I hope your username isn't a reflection of your car

HUGE update!

Fitted a dog guard so I can throw the hound in the boot 

Starting to stockpile a few bits on my massive list on the previous page as well...

Enjoy nice to meet you @MIJ_JAGGER

Changed the pollen filter. Thing was pretty filthy. New rear wiper blade on too.

Now to find out what the squeal is under full load...

Make a build thread?

It does.  It's not just the pipe diameter that affects throttle response/torque, it's also the length of the intake path.  The OEM intake is very short.  At least 30% shorter than most of the bath sponge on a drain pipe kits out there.

Most people only care about peak gains on the dyno and whooshing / sucking noises, so don't care about a loss of bottom end response.

I thought if I bought a forge intake it would have had that taken into consideration [emoji23][emoji23] anyone wanna buy a twintake [emoji854]
