 Had to change my original a few months ago and went for a milltek cat back non res. More than happy with the choice, just over 500 fitted, sounds great under load but not too intrusive pootling around. Much better than stock without question.

I have also been looking for a  dsg, low mileage fairly standard car   for a few months now. Seems all the best ones are being kept hold of by their  owners, I think I may have missed the boat in finding one.

Cone Filter on stock airbox, Stage 1
Last Poster: ItsFluffyHere in Performance Modifications on Yesterday at 02:57:09 PM

I’ve been searching for like 2 day but I haven't seen any threads discussing this, only ones where it’s just mentioned.

I’m currently stage 1 and my air filter is due to be replaced soon. So I thought I’d just do a DIY short ram intake with a bit of pipe and a cone filter over the stock airbox. Ik for real power I should look for a real intake, but I just want a bit of s

Got myself a MK5 Golf GTI, long term owner of a MK2 16v, certainly one of the more modern golfs ive driven that give an oldschool vibe, its a bit tatty but I got it cheap.

As usual boost leak issues, sent it to mechanic to swap out the diverter valve, seems like my diverter valve is different to all others, unless the mechanic has removed something else?

Before you do that, take the air box and battery out, access the actuator rod and see if it moves freely...most likely not. Move it, use a pry bar to help if needed, spray some WD40 on the rod and push it in and let it return repeatedly this should free it up.

After that, take it for a good

You need additional bits to make H7 and D2S bulbs fit because even though they are similar, these are two types of Depo Chrome Ecodes. The main difference is bulb type and the D2S headlights have a hole for the HID wiring.
