Had my new turbo fitted and new DV valve fitted last weekend. I cannot believe I have been driving round in what felt like a 1.6 litre car for over a year. When I first bought it I was quite underwhelmed with my GTI. Didn't know what all the fuss was about.
Turned out I had a HUGE crack in the turbocharger and the DV valve was ripped to shreds! There was literally nothing left of it!
Alex at AKS tuning replaced everything for me and OMFG I can't believe the difference!! Now I see why people love the GTI so much!
Big smile on my face now when driving it and i'm also thinking of going to stage 1 at R-tech very soon! :)
