It's awesome with the remap, makes a big difference to the little car  :driver:

Low down it seams more urgent and it now pulls much better up top too where it felt lacking before.

They also found my car was running an earlier version of the factory code so that go updated too.

I need to order the plugs, the ones Revo recommend for the 1.4TSI are NGK BKR7EIX's

Not sure, I am just going to order the NGK ones rather that searching out the nearest VW ones as it will be cheaper that way.

Yep, with the exception of the voice/phone buttons (as I haven't got bluetooth or RNS with VC yet) all buttons work

She's coming along nicely Mr P, I think I may have to visit Daventry myself soon as my map doesn't feel quite right!

Cheers Mark, It's worth seeing the guys down there, the magic they worked on the Red one last Friday was superb  :driver: :driver:

Time for some updates  :party:

First up the prototype/development ITG filter was installed on Friday



Has made a noticeable difference and a surprising amount of induction noise for a closed filter  :smiley:

Then off to KPM for a brew and some H&R Springs, went for the version with the extra drop (better pics to follow)







More parts are also on the way to sharpen up the handling some more :driver: :driver:

The 1.4TSI is fantastic engine I think.  These are in dier  need of an intercooler upgrade.  3 runs on the dyno and my peak power was 9hp down from the first run.  I might speak to andy @ITG and get one of those right angled hoses.  I reckon my forge intake could be rotated like yours. 

What's the plans with this one steve. Guess you don't need to hunt big power or crazy handling with the golf parked there

Despite the reports of issues with the 1.4TSI I genuinely believe with a good map it's a great little engine, it's doing 42mpg+ on the way to work (when I am sensible).

Remaining plans are stage 2, Turbo Back Exhaust, Front brakes, Rear ARB, a few poly bushes, RNS-510 and a rear camera kit  :smiley:
