Finally got my sticky little mitts on the GTI today.
Only one pic though as it was chucking it down.
Just done the first 50 miles of driving based on the "run it hard" bedding in method
Handles pretty well as standard, but there is definitely room for improvement.
Sets off the line like a scalded cat with the supercharger.
Definitely needs more power up top.
Even though I say it myself, it is a lovely little motor and should be a great new project for me to mess about with.
No Nitrous this time though
