Few updates to the car done recently and some more planned for later in the week.

First off finally got the new brakes fitted, had a small issue when fitting in that they needed a 8mm spacer to clear the 18" pescara wheel. the spacers they used were cheapo ones and left the ride feeling terrible so Wheelman kindly provided us with 10mm hubcentric ones, decided to get all 4 wheels done so it looked right and now ride is back to normal. Brakes now bedded in and feeling very positive and alot firmer than stock one's in all situations.





all 4 wheels now with 10mm spacers







Had the APR high pressure fuel pump fitted too the same day and this has already had a noticeable improvement on mid range pull without having a new remap, but off to Superchips this friday to be re-tuned to take the pump in to account and they can turn up the fuel pressure to 130 bar  :evilgrin: - RESULTS of this to come..

also the new oem 'd' dv valve was put in, i know there has been some issues regarding whether this is the correct part for the tfsi, but so far fitted well and car has been running like normal can't tell if there has been any noticeable improvements as this seems to have come from the fuel pump.

Will update after Friday with the results of the re-tune with superchips.

WhiteGTI:
Sounds good James!

This car should be a serious weapon at the Pod if you make it on Saturday!!!

Looks a great list of mods. Be interested in the power and torque curve with the map adjusted to suit new pump.  :happy2:
