Reflex silver Tdi with a hint of .:R
Gtiain:
Very nice :congrats:
Although is that an 'R' badge on the back? You should change it to GTD! :happy2:
Unless you want a 'R' copy offcourse :signLOL:
JulioTDI:
What are your opinions on the intakes over stock? Any differences/gains?

If you have a look at this thread http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,28829.0.html
That should answer your queries regarding fitment of the r32 style exhaust, I have a custom setup on mine – it's not made from adapting an R32 backbox.
Gtiain:
The badge - haha well before I got it it was badged up front&rear as an R32...the wannabee copycat guilt trip set in quickly so debadged it to just the .:R at the rear. Have toyed about with a few badge ideas like .:R20 as it’s a 2.0 or putting the Rline badge. When I was debadging it it became a .:R23… :wink:
I like the idea of the GTD but I see that suiting a GTI kitted up TDI better.
JulioTDI:
With the both intakes I didn’t expect any gains/better response…it was an experiment to see if we could increase the noise you get when you back off the throttle on the TDI which I’m led to believe is from the pitch change of the VNT (then again I could be speaking crap!) and yes it did increase that noise noticeably.
I’d say the K&N enclosed filter box gives slightly better response which I guess is due to the Neuspeed being an open to engine heat.
I've no pictures of the K&N box fitted as yet (currently 3000miles away from car!) but will get up soon, its a nice fitting piece of kit but quite expensive as far as I'm aware. I borrowed it from a friend who had it on his tiguan rline so no idea what he paid for it.
Gtiain:
Whatever you do it looks great mate. :happy2:
rex:
Nice car!
If I may, there is one thing (only one :innocent:) that is not for my taste: the front mud flaps. I am not a big fan of those but it's you taste that matters.
Drive safe and keep up the good work!
