Just ordered a couple of metal boost pipes to replace the standard plastic ones and an intake to tide me over till my full EVOMS intake I'm getting at Christmas.



Also snapped this while I was out today


Quality looks to have gone a bit sketchy when I've uploaded it though

Got the car mapped today  :grin: but one of my coil packs looks like its on it way out as I have an intermittent misfire but it's going to vw to get sorted at the weekend.

Here is the results after stage 1 and pre cat removal.

Went over to Pulman vw durham earlier to see the sales manager and he was very helpful. I had a few things I wasn't happy with after further inspection when I got it home, a piece of trim from where the rear view mirror met the headliner had broken and was hanging down, the refurb on the wheels was poor quality, two of the centre caps fell out in the first week I had it and there was some white worm on the rear badge and without any question he said he would replace all of the affected parts and get the wheels re done along with fixing the misfire. So it's booked in for next friday  :smiley:

What colour is yours jaffa? I'll keep an eye out for you
