Went over to see @Matto to get some VCDS coding done. Got my Boot Poppin' sorted along with a few other bits. Good to meet a fellow forum member, he took me for a blast in his car too, new exhaust sounds awesome!


Full VCDS Hex + Can.

Productive day...

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.

The difference is unreal.  It picks up so much better, accelerates quicker and feels as though boost is held longer.  The noise is decent too.  You can hear the turbo spool and the air being sucked in too.  Im running a CAI and it has made that a lot more apparent too.

How are the weitecs mate got any pics?

They are good.  Lovely and smooth but a nice sporty feel to them.  Thay are a nice subtle 20mm drop which is more evident at the back



Ive used Eibach and H&R before and feel that they are better than the Eibach and not far off the H&R.

Bargain for £60 brand new lol.
