White MK6 GTI Edition 35

Not sure if I should build it up for Stage 2 or 2+ and get it mapped eventually. What's people's opinions on this?
Anyway ... Been thinking about an intake for a while - Went for a Revo Camcoat intake.
Started to install it.. Took the old air box off.
Quite surprised at how hard it is to pull the engine cover off! I mean it wasn't 'hard' but quite some force!
Lent over the back to get a shot of the downpipe - Titanium wrapped - Really looks the business.
Got the surround in place.
Just the sensor missing here. This area was quite fiddly trying to get the clamp down the back of the engine in the correct position. Anyone got any tips to make this easier in future?
And the finished article.
The car sounds like darth-vadar. It's sounds nice, still on the fence whether it suits what I feel the car is - But at the end of the day. I can take it off whenever! :happy2: I'm pleased with it though.
Thanks for reading :happy2:

No really a good point, besides the different noise, of getting such great intake and exhaust and not going at least stage 2. :wink:
You can also consider getting the R-Tech dual layer exhaust manifold heat shield. :smiley:

Yeah - I'm thinking about upgrading the brakes at some point - Id love some R8 big stoppers but slight overkill and the money puts me off.
TTRS brakes up front - But the rears will look tiny. What do people suggest as rear conversions to keep things looking equal :innocent:

I went for the R32 rear brakes. They're 310 mm vented discs. You can get them new "cheap" if you buy the TRW branded, instead of the VW branded. Search the forum, you'll find the references you need.
In the front I went for the Touareg/Q7/Cayenne brakes with 350 mm MB ML450 discs. My mechanic liked the setup. :wink:
I didn't need wheel spacers with my OZ Ultraleggeras, while with the TTRS calipers I would. Wheel spacers aren't road legal in my country, that was my main concern. :innocent:
