Your speedlines, what offset did you go for to get your RS3 calipers with Vagbremtechnic mounts behind? I’ve got the same colour car as you and those wheels in that colour looks the dogs danglies.

325lbft at 3000rpm, and still holding it to 7000rpm.  I guess that answers any questions about how it spools!  Impressive  :happy2:

And yes, my TTE420 is still gathering dust in the cupboard  :grin:

That graph is so smooth. Lots of area under the curve!

And yes, my TTE420 is still gathering dust in the cupboard  :grin:

Is it close to finding it's way out? Or is there no immediate plans to liberate it?

I'll see if there's time to stick it on this summer, but to do it justice I will need a better intercooler and  lift pump, + mapping.   Spiraling costs as always with these cars!

I've also been giving thought to a MK7 R.  Values of these are dropping by the day.  My plan is to restyle and badge it as a GTD to keep thieves away from my house.  Definitely no Lapiz blue action, or 4 stupid tailpipes.  No one has done it that I'm aware of, and makes complete sense to me these days!
