Gt sport owner
« on: January 27, 2013, 03:14:15 am »
Hi guys its been a while i thaught i would try and start a build thread first attempt :)
I just purchased a golf mk5 gt sport 140 bhp version well its been a few months of ownership this was to replace my mk4 gti anni


 




The first modification had to be to replace the standard rcd300
 I got a rcd510 so fitted that


But then i found a rns510  so fitted that and also found a armrest in leather

Also fitted media-in to go into the armrest and also genuine phone prep which is very handy.

I then needed to give the car a full clean
Wash, clay , polish then waxed with AG hd wax


Then i finally got my private plate transferred over to the gt

Then the turbo started to whistle so i renewed the turbo for a brand new genuine vw turbo

After having the turbo replaced i thaught it was time to get the car remapped which makes the car more fun to drive

any reason why your photos aren't the right way round???  :stupid:

You should replace the intercooler too, I replaced just the turbo, 9 months later I had to replace it again because there was sh*t in the intercooler pipes.
