There were some moments before some turns where I was hitting the limiter and just couldnt be bothered to change up a gear, as it was so close to the next corner. For example, the main straight I could get into 5th, but only for a short while, so just let off until breaking time. My gear changes in my car arnt the smoothest so thats why :smiley:

Awesome vid too Dan. Liking the commitment on some of those turns. :driver:

For my car its 100% better. now you can use ALL the power, as before, coming out of turns, it would wheelspin in the lower gears, even with the Peloquin diff installed.
Im not a good enough driver to judge other factors yet.

Well, cars been off the road for ages since a track session at btands hatch 3 months ago.
Had an elusive oil leak, then an elusive boost leak.
Boost leak turned out to be the wastegate rod had disconnected from the watsegate. Impossible to see without the subframe off.
Was at 30-130 yesterday and had the car weighed. A good result of 1400kg without driver and 5/8 full tank of fuel.
Thought that was pretty good considerinf its standard wheels and road trim inside.

Hi. I'm majorly impressed with this. I'm currently building my golf into the same as yours. Got a few questions. Can you tell me where you got you centre bracket mounts from and could you put me in touch with the guy who wired your 4wd ?
Thank craig

Hi Craig,
the parts were bought as a package (im not sure of the origin though).
By centre bracket mount, do you mean the propshaft mount half way long the transmssion tunnel? This is a standard part so you can buy this or poick it from a scrappy. The mounts are also standard I beleive and were welded on.
The install was done by a couple of greek guys that came over, who were knwn to APR, but I dont have there contact details, and they didnt speak much english.
What information are you after?
