cheers m8. cars coming along nicely.

What day you booked in at rtech. am down there on the 8th of april.

[bbfb10]

Im not booked in yet. Going to get all my bits together then give them a ring. Cant wait!

[bbfb10]

Busy few weeks with work so have had the car in at the local garage to do a few bits, R-Tech PCV Delete and Autotech HPFP being fitted today.

Took my Milltek 200 Cell Sports Cat Downpipe I bought from @bluo to the local fabricators to have a look at a tiny crack in the turbo flange, they're welding it up and tidying up a few welds for me today too, pics to follow when I get to pick it up this afternoon.

Also had a delivery from Parcelforce today, new Milltek Jet exhaust tips to go on the cat back system I bought from @howie1987.

Got a big pile of parts now just waiting to go on, waiting on an intercooler then will book the car into R-Tech for a Stage 2+ tune and DSG map.

Going away to the Lakes on Thursday, car is going in to the garage whilst lm there to have new oil pick up fitted and the Milltek put on. Then its time for a really good clean and think about my next mods.

Im obviously going to get an intercooler ready for stage 2+ but not sure about if l should get other parts that may benefit the car before mapping. If anyone has any knowledge or experience of the following mods ld be interested to hear your opinions:

RS4 Fuel Pressure Return Valve
Runner Flap Delete
Uprated Engine and Transmission Mounts
Uprated Throttle and Discharge Pipes

I know these arent 'necessary' for Stage 2+ but would they help?

[Shoduchi]

Yes, they will help.

-The RS4 RFV is only needed when you fit an upgraded HPFP.

-Get the Creations Motorsport RFD kit from ebay. Cheap and easily done when cleaning the intake manifold, that our engines need anyway.

-Uprated engine and transmission top mounts only needed if you want to lock your engine tight. The OEM won't last as much but can do the job for enough time, I think. They're parts that I'm only going to replace when my OEM ones are busted. I'm considering from Vibratechnics or Revo.

-Whatever you can do to improve the engines airflow will help to achieve a better output.

Cheers @Shoduchi

Dropped the car off at the garage this afternoon to change the oil pick up pipe and fit the exhaust while lm away in the Lakes for a few days.

Looking into getting the Intake Manifold cleaned when lm back, then fitting the RFD from Creations Motorsport.

[bbfb10]

Excuse the dirt.



Full Milltek turbo back system fitted. Bonus no CEL on my dash!
Oil pick up pipe replaced.
VCDS Hex + Can purchased.

Looking at uprated engine/transmission and exhaust mounts now to hold everything in place.

[Mike58]

Nice. How is it? What system did you go for?

[bbfb10]

Hi @Mike58

I got a 200 Cell Milltek downpipe from @bluo and a Resonated Cat-Back from @howie1987

System sounds nice to my uneducated ears. Probably a placebo but the car seems to pick up speed faster too.

[bbfb10]

Powerflex Anti Lift Kit purchased today, plus had 2 new doors delivered to replace the damaged ones on my passenger side after some numpty reversed into me.

[driver rider]

Nice car you got here!

[bbfb10]

Thanks @driver rider

Came out of a clients house this morning to find this:



Not sure what happened, but as its opposite a school l can only assume its one of the little darlings from there.

[Shoduchi]

That's an expensive mirror to replace...

[bbfb10]

Second one in about 3 months. Fuming!
