Definitely a touch of colour mate. I really liked it but I have more black hoses than blue.

Glad your happy with it  :happy2:

For the cost and the size it's a really good mod! I got a deal on mine but would of been happy to buy new for this difference!

I've seen the AKS bushes, not entirely sure what they do? Although now after doing the 42dd's I do know where they go  :signLOL:

Have you got yours fitted yet Danish?

No not, yet i'm afraid. They are for the bracket that holds the outer part of the gearcables onto the gearbox, you can see the bracket on your picture  :smiley:

Over the top mod list ;o)

Yep  :happy2:

I too have the 42 DD shifter bushes as well as the AKS bushes.

Nice cheap and cheerful mods that make a decent difference.

Intrigued now with the AKS bushes, might get some when I've got a few pence for a little mod laying around.

Would you say it was a noticeable difference Rich?

Had a speedy delivery off Cupra r yesterday so took advantage of the sun and got it fitted straight away, my Forge DV return pipe in blue.
Wanted to get abit of colour in the engine bay and this is my start, always liked the forge hoses so thought it would be a good place to start!



while i was in there aswell i cleaned and re-oiled my p-flo filter, so much crap came out! might have to keep and eye on that and service it abit more.

got a little sunshine so thought bugger this im getting my summer wheels on, so cleaned the car and fired them on!



also my Statllers visit has been and gone!! had a good day and met Hurdy (nice guy and evil car!  :drool: )

got there bright and early and the car got strapped down by Steve, ran through what i wanted from the car and he got on it



ran the car up on the settings it was on from when i was RDT and produced a figure, Steve plugged the laptop in and got busy running the car up while changing settings within the revo here and there. The more the car was run the better it started to sound, nice and crisp!
Steve asked what plugs were in it (NGK Iridiums) and said they could probs do with a change so i got some Nology Silver tipped plugs off him there and then! Made more power and more torque so happy with that for the money!!

Heres the graph from when we were done, broken lines being old power & torque, solid lines being new power & torque. Its meant to be abit of a heartbreaker dyno so im happy with that!



Originally when i drove into Statllers i was B6 T2 F8 and when i left i was B8 T5 F7, both times on a Stage 2 Revo Linear Throttle map.

The car now is so much better!! alot more low down pull as you can see from the graph and the car just keeps on pulling! All in all a happy lad and just wanna say thanks to Steve and Craig @ Statllers, nice genuine lads and good customer service!!
