The way I see it, the dyno might not be connected, but the performance box still works so get out testing lol

Oh yes. The 0-100mph should be the acid test. :happy2: Unfortunately snow is forecast up here for tomorrow.  :sad1:

it's like KITT in Pursuit Mode :rolleye: :driver:

You mean like this?



Would love to see the figures. I imagine with a few more mods, it might be like this:

 

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

The new series would have been more bearable had it not had the silly transformation crap.

APR (Oz) have got their turbos hybridized now. They reckon their car at stage 2 is currently making 150kw at the front wheels  which equates to around 205Hp at the wheels or 235Hp at the flywheel (ish).  They reckon software is sorted for hybrids now, just srting the ancillaries for release

The hybrid looks good, but it will still be finding someone to put a map on it and at the moment I'm happy with Revo.

Due to land at Chez Hurdy tomorrow....

New style Carbon Fibre paddle shifters.

Shouldn't lose those pesky small paddle shifters when turning the wheel anymore with the size of these beauties.  :grin:

A few more pics of the water meth install.

View from the front...."looks normal"

Hidden at the back is a "T" piece boost tap that goes to the sensor on the controller

And just to the side of the boost tap is the tap in to the intake manifold - best shot I could get as it is that well tucked away!

An early pic I took of where the water meth pipe and the boost tap pipe go through the bulkhead (before the silicone was added to protect the pipes)

Another pic I took to try and get a pic of the tap that didn't quite work, but shows the in-line non-return valve for the water/meth mix (just see the red bit at the right hand side)

This pic shows the wired in fuses for safety overload protection of the pump.

Pic of the wiring and pipework going up the side of the floor trim

Bottle!

Finished rear install - very neat and you can just make out the black custom bracket that was fitted and sprayed black to mount the bottle to.


The earth point and power for the controller were taken from under the gearbox section of the dash (unfortunately no pic)

 :happy2:

I was at Statllers yesterday, they were discussing this and trying to persuade me to fit a kit to the Golf...

I am thinking about it and will be interested to see how you get along!
