Reflex silver TDI - Darkside remap

[xjay1337]

Blanks out numberplate in signature but has it in full view in pictures?

Stuart logic there

Haha been meaning to change it back thanks for pointing that out.

Buys diesel to drive fast, petrol to go low and slow. Jay's logic there

So I took a trip up to darkside over a month ago. It made 114hp standard which was pretty cool. Had it remapped and it made 143hp. Made such a big difference but I got pretty used to it very quickly unfortunately! Now in the process of saving to go for a gtb1756vk turbo kit. I would go bigger but budget wise it's much cheaper to just go for the ARL injectors. Any bigger turbo and I'll be needing bigger nozzles. I've already got some ARL inectors and hopefully within the next month I'll be ordering an S3 intercooler and hard pipe boost kit.
 
I fitted 312mm GTI brakes/hubs a couple of weeks ago thanks to xjay1337's help of sourcing some! They were desperately needed!

Totally agree, what was needed for the break conversion mate?

[xjay1337]

55mm hubs, calipers/carriers/discs/pads/lines.

Thanks man. I'll start looking around for some stuff :)

Thanks for the comments :-).

All what Jay said, plus you'll need 50-55mm hub adapters, you can buy from dpm performance for about £30 made by JOM.

Looks good in reflex silver, what colour did you paint the new calipers?

[stuart-88]

Thanks 

I went with blue. Sticking with red would have been a bit racey for my chugger!

How did you fit the boost gauge and wire it? I want one lol

You still got the roof bars and deflector?

[stuart-88]

Boost gauge was pretty simple, boost pipe came from my EGR delete pipe (will differ on your petrol). Then a wire to go to you dash cluster dimmer feed, another to an earth. What ever you do don't go for the steering cowling mount like mine, the squeaking from the steering wheel when turning literally makes me want to set fire to the car  !! There's one you can buy for the O/S heater vent.

Yeah I still have the wind deflector and bars. Keeping hold of them for now, I was thinking of breaking the car when I tried selling them but changed my mind!

[stuart-88]

Car has been mostly sat up gathering dust and pollen particles as always. Fitted an ASH filter and pipework a month or so ago, and a new headunit as I wanted to move away from the OEM+ car specific one for future reasons.

Like the engine bay shot mate!
