you planning on running 8 injectors

I'm planning on a hep inlet with 4 additional water meth injectors and hopefully they'll be a better solution for the tfsi injectors.

Very nice indeed  :happy2:

With the performance mods you have done, may I suggest a diff (or did I miss that in this thread as already done?) and for handling I would consider these braces rather than bars unless you intend to fit a roll cage.

UNIbraces Review: http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,48722.0.html

Hi I haven't installed a diff as of yet as I wanted to see how it put the power down first but if I struggles I'll install a diff but hopefully the 4wd will hold it's own.
 
I've looked at the unibrace but I think I'll go directly down the roll cage route.

....Ah, I missed it being 4wd. Diff best on FWD.

Yep, roll-cage does more than UNIbraces but UNIbraces are probably the best solution if not caging.

That is the one I posted, hopefully if all goes well well I should get one in the summer and hopefully get that along with the water meth injectors and fuel Ecu installed September time.

Check out this manifold aswell. Garage midnight imports them. Personally I would prefer the look of this one.
