You ain't drivin it hard enough looking at your mpg  :P

Nah that's what you get when you have a decent map Steve :P
You'll find out soon! Only teasing... I never drive the car hard on it's daily drive to work... on the way home it gets a bit more stick, can't wonder why...

 Would have been more, but as you can see I was late lol, I've seen up to 43mpg on my run to work on a hot day/hypermiling before... :)

I had 4 wheel alignment on my GTI at VAG Tech. I got a printout of before and after and there was quite a few red figures. Now all green.  I think I have now got more confidence in the car now. 

Next on the list is the brakes - I want to stop, rather than slow down!

Hi. Can I ask how much a four wheel alignment costs? I've never had it done.

Got my De-cat downpipe fitted today and had a Stage 2 custom map done by the guys at PD Tuning in Sunderland.

The boost is maxed out, and the intercooler is at the limit.



Very happy with the results, and the noise! can scare many more people driving along the road now  :evilgrin:

Big thanks to the guys there, top job!

Very odd that they do not cross at 5200rpm...I wonder if 5200rpm crossing is only related to a certain type of dyno??

the plots of BHP and Torque will only cross at 5252rpm if the scales on the left/right hand side are the same.

Just found out that my left front is well worn, the right looks better.  Im not happy as I wanted to burn my tyres on a track day  not on the road....need to get the car looked at.
