New n revision pcv put on. The old one an 'f' had failed as they commonly do, maybe that's what the f stands for.

Hoping oil consumption will drop and power will be back. Find out on the way to work tomorrow :driver:

Replaced old kicker 12" sub (damaged during my house move) and took out the 250w kicker amp.

Replace with an infinity 2400w 12" with a carbon cone - and a black widow 1200w digital mono amp. Had to reset everything on the headunit, first it wouldn't hardly work, then I played about with the gain and the amp settings. So it's all good now - also moved the box over an back a little to mount the amp on the back of the box.

I know its my mk6 but I ordered my BCS exhaust for my GTD today.
Looking forward to the dual output look.

I'd be keen to see how this looks & sounds  :drool:
My exhaust is due to be delivered tomorrow.
