Golf GTI Edition 30 ..Stage 2+ journey has began
BigA91:
So I went over to Allumy Motorsport in Notts again yesterday as I had the RS4 valve to be installed and my downpipe 'banging' issues rectified.
Thanks to Rob, he spotted my drivebelt and realised it had bits missing lol.
and the rest of the belt was found later on the undertray :signLOL:
So I posted last time asking people about this PCV whistling noise I've been having and people said it was normal..which wasn't! On Friday last week, my idle became so erratic and kept fluctuating which was driving me F*CK*ng crazy! Rob at Allumy motorsport changed the PCV & gasket for a newer revision at WALA! My idle is now very smooth and it feels slightly quicker too as it's not losing any boost pressure because of the split diaphragm.
and new one installed
Now guys, if you buy an ebay downpipe, you will need to get the prongs shortened or else, you will get this loud banging and vibration from underneath which will make you hate the car! The prongs were long so they were touching the subframe and you can imagine the rest..
Also, the oem downpipe has a solid built in washer or a 'stop' to help the downpipe from moving forth and back underload which the aftermarket one didn't. This is what I mean...
So clever as Rob is lol, he welded me one on and this is how it looked..
All back to normal now! Thank god! I couldn't believe how much of a difference one small thing made.
R-Tech tomorrow, can't wait :driver:

My eBay decat doesn't move an inch. Probably because I have the revo torque arm and solid 034 motorsports bush. :laugh:
Surprised they didn't take the tyres off for the "refurb". :mad:

It doesn't move anymore. The reason why mine was vibrating like mad, is because it didn't have a 'stop' like the oem one does which then causes the mouting prongs to move freely. You have some balls lol to run a solid bush! I get small tiny weeny vibrations on idle from the superpro dogbone insert but i'm kinda learning to live with it.
The refurb job is amazing though! It really is very good and although they didn't remove the tyre, the deflated in completely and when finished, they put new valves in and re-balanced it. Maybe they were trying to save time but never the less, the finish is amazing!
I think maybe during the new year, I may go gloss black on the wheels, although not entirely sure yet.
