That is one stunning TDI. I've got a GT TDi but your's is in another league! Loving the factory options and your OEM+ additions. That remap is pushing out good numbers. How is you clutch holding up? Any other plans in the works? Gti sideskirts? Exhaust?

P.s. nowt wrong with iPhone photos. :happy2:

Sent from my iPhone

Thanks for the kind comments,the clutch seems fine to me no problems with the 205 horses plus I still get easily 40+ mpg figures even with a heavy right foot,55mpg is attainable if you go softly though.

I have the GTi sideskirts painted and fitted already in the pics but the exhaust is still factory spec.

Plans at the moment probably fit Eibach pro kit and later when funds allow RVC. :happy2:



My bad. Didn't see the sideskirts when I viewed the pictures on my iPhone.  :ashamed: The irony, lol.

I have the Eibach Pro Springs on my car with 18" x 7.5" Alloys same as yours. Will need to post up a picture how it sits to give you an idea. I have also fitted the Milltek Turbo Back Exhaust. It's got a nice subtle note to it, not far off standard but definitely more freer flowing. I presume your car has a DPF tho, which you would need to get mapped out. I'm sure you car get this done on your ST3.  :happy2:

I see that your car sits very nice indeed from your sig,what sort of bhp advantage would I gain by removing and mapping out the DPF?

I had the ST3 from ChippedUK I read that the maps on the ST3 are locked to company that produced them might give them a ring to access the situation.

The map itself is 350. But with the dpf removal they said they need the car for a day and would cost 670 all in. I have a few questions for them tomorrow and going to find out exactly what's involved. They are based in Mansfield which is only 40 mins of so from me and have heard they are good.

Car looks lovely! Have always liked grey even though I love my tornado red

Can I ask how much your rear bumper and side skirts cost to paint, it is the one thing on my car I really want done - too much black plastic. Would love the ed30 rear but a bit pricey at the mo

I remember it was about £150 for the lot including the front splitter.

Lee...I asked Ben at Shark Performance today about your st3 device and said you won't be able to use it. Although its the same device they use, it is locked to the previous tuner.

I would like to add whilst I was there I had my arm twisted up my back and bought a remap and dpf removal  :happy2:

Cheers for asking at Sharks about the St3,knew it wouldnt be usable but needed to 100% certain. :happy2:

When are you having the remap and DPF done would like to know the results bet it'll be very torquey right upto the higher parts of the rev range. :congrats:
