If you have a GTI, have you had your Diverter Valve replaced?

These are a common item to fail on the mk5, particularly the standard GTI due to its' placement right next to the turbo.

Nah I'm hoping with a decent map I'll get a lil more but will just be better Rev range with right fueling etc...mines a new South performance gauge with vent pod come with the car but I'm sure you can get them from awesome gti  :happy2:
