Neither. Back to standard air box set up. Both of them made the car feel less responsive low down, confirmed with a dyne run which showed it actually reduced the torque. It added a little bit top end but I prefer the early surge of the torque.

Also both were way too noisy for what I wanted.

ah right i see, thanks for the information as i was thinking of changing to an induction kit and I've got a stage 1 remap by niki at r-tec but think i won't bother then and keep the standard air box.

Cheers for advice mate.

Talk to R-Tech again and see if they concur. But OEM airbag for stage 1 was the decision we arrived at when I spoke to them last and ran a couple of different set ups before.

Quite excited. Just bought these..



2015 Mk7 Golf R Brakes. 340mm. Apparently 3kg lighter than the R32/S3 345mm options.

Been wanting to upgrade the brakes for ages so quite happy its finally happening :)
