Hi Alex

Welcome to the forum!  Glad you are enjoying your Mk5 and as a forum user things can only get better now!
OEM+ 2005 GTI DSG (high factory standard spec and upgraded with S3 alloy hubs, S3 alloy wishbones, Bilstein B8s and VWR springs by my own hands) owned since 2008 and still loving it!

Great choice or mods. I got nearly identical figures for my setup - K&N panel, pre-cat removed & R-Tech map  :happy2:
