The noise is just awesome. Did you also go for the sports cat?

Finally mate, yes!!!
Amazing is the word. Actually I'm just as blown away with this as I am with the map. I keep looking for excuses to hit the bypass!
Yeah, went for the 200 cell cat after reading up and keeping close tabs on your progress. Even now just on the stage 1 it pulls so much harder. Turbo spools really aggressively. I'm down at R-Tech on 24th for that little bit extra...
Was showing it off to a couple of workmates after work on Thursday in the carpark, somehow managed to get a big anti-lag style noise out of it in 1st coming onto boost riding the clutch! Haha! Bit silly... but their jaws hit the floor!!!!
Possibly the best mod I've done.

Glad you are loving it mate - it only gets better after your visit to R-Tech. Bet you can't wait!
Really pleased you went with this option mate - probably the best grand or so you ever spent right?
PS - you still got your old bumper? I'm still humming and harring over that mod......

Oh definitely pal, can't wait to get the map tweaked. The number of times I've looked at your graphs and the extra torque you got after the map... I'm giddy just thinking about it! I'm just praying my clutch doesn't crap out, because even now I can tell it's holding much more torque for longer. If it does then I'll just get a helix and then a hybrid k03....!!!
Yeah the bumper is currently sat wrapped up and protected; the plan is to get round to selling it at some point. Tell you what - I'm not desperate to sell it, so what I'll do is hold off putting it up for sale, and if you do at some point decide to go for it, it's there for you.
There's a few cars with the painted rear, painted sides, and the standard GTI lip painted, and it looks damn good. Obviously the ed30 lip is great, but it did cost me a bomb.. so maybe that's an option? All painted up but with painted GTI lip rather than ed30 lip.
It helps to be on good terms with a good bodyshop. I still haven't paid for the R32 rear. Quite bizarre that I have to chase him to pay him...!
AJP:
And yes, best grand I've ever spent in one go!!!

I really appreciate that mate. What I might do if you don't mind, is pop up some time to see it in the flesh and then make a decision. I can then either take it off you straight away or let you know it's not for me, so you're not waiting around for me.
Let me know what day is good for you (preferably one weekend) and I'll nip up some time.
PS - my clutch is holding up fine for the time being. I don't really fancy forking out for a new clutch just yet!
