BCS (another Thumbs Up!!)
gigolo456:
Get a BCS Powervalve (budget permitting) Sport version, you won't be disappointed, BELIEVE ME!! :evilgrin:
driver rider:
Im assuming you have this fitted to your car? I don't want the car to be too loud as its a daily drive only when at full tilt do I really want it to sing. I could do with more "pops" from the exhaust though!
Just seen that you were the OP! ignore first question. How you getting on with the exhaust now. Any regrets. I couldn't find any info on cost on the website?
gigolo456:
Well i've only had the exhaust (and Twintake) for 5 days and i swear the sound is getting sweeter every day!! When i opted for the Powervalve (Sport) and Twintake, i thought 'sh*t, what have i done, i can't get out of this now', as i was beginning to think the din in the cabin would be unbearable, but i'm SOOOOO glad i chose both these mods, in particular the Powervalve!! At cruising, the noise is really not that much more noisey than the stock exhaust, but floor it and it comes alive, but isnt that why we got our GTi's!!? I won't kid you, both mods together and fitted aren't cheap, but i do feel like i have a new car again, and for the money i spent getting these (and the R Tech remap) on Tuesday, plus my car as part-ex, if i were selling, i do not believe for 1 minute that i could buy a car that would give me anywhere near the amount of exhilerating fun i'm having right now!! I feel it would be unfair to tell you what i paid for my 2 mods with BCS, as it might be less, or, indeed, more than what others paid, or will pay, but speaking purely about the Powervalve, and to quote Jez Clarkson when he was promoting the GTi Mk V, 'Get one of these!!' :jumpmove:

You did a DSG map on an ED30 with the Powervalve TBE 4 weeks ago (Mine :happy2:), however 3 days later I found that the pipe had come off and was not opening the valve when I was there (Might have something to do with the paltry 297bhp it showed on your rollers, although im sure the 82f day we had when I was there will have reduced it a fair bit (Twas only 63f when run at Jabba), the pipe has been rectified and it wont come off again (Belt n braces approach!) :happy2:

Jeez, I write a review on the BCS Powervalve and everyone is getting them :grin:, I was the first! :booty: ner ner ner ner ner :grin:
Well having seen a Milltek system and comparing it to the BCS Powervalve there really is no comparison, It's about time Milltek was put in its place :popcornsoda:
