Right here goes first M.O.D to the leon. I ordered a DV+ valve from AMD on the Monday this week as when on boost i felt it wasn't holding strong so thought i would upgrade the DV and read up on the DV + from go fast bits and thought I would give it a go. It arrived first thing this morning and i wasn't going to wait to fit the part so did it straight away. It only took me about 5-10 minutes to fit and once fitted i took it out for a test run. I haven't been on a long drive to test it out fully plus it is very wet conditions out, but i can tell you i wasn't disappointed in the result. Pulls nice and strong all the way through out the rev-range very pleased with this product i would defiantly recommend to anyone wanting to upgrade there DV but not pay to much.

Congratulations on the purchase Jordan! Welcome to the fold!

Hope you come to enjoy it as much as I do mine & it will be easy to see why I found it hard to sell haha.

There's a wealth of knowledge on here to help you with mods & maintenance

Thanks mate.

There are a couple more things I'd like to do; finish the water meth install, fit Hybrid turbo, custom mapping.

Lexan rear door & tailgate windows & carbon tailgate are on the wish list but maybe a step too far haha

The Seat Leon is the more logical choice when compared to a Golf. They usually have more power, more toys, better trim levels and cost less to buy and insure. And they look better too.

There, I said it...

Ban me now.

 :smiley: that is true I was looking at a mk5 gti ed30 but in the end went for the leon because of this reason.

Can people give me some opinions, would you go for a set of Coilovers or shock and spring kit. I am looking at either Bilstein b12 shock kit or set of decent Coilovers ?

I can't comment on the spring / shock setup but my Bilstein PSS10 coilovers are amazing.

Very civilised and comfy but still great handling on the softer settings and easily adjustable for Trackdays etc
