I don't know what happened with my previous post.. it was just blank but when I went in to edit it, it had a full text body??
Anyway copied and pasted what I wrote
Nice dude.
You'll need a second compressor as the fill time with just one is horrible. So glad I went for 2! :drinking:
I presume it's been mapped for the 160bhp! I'd check the BHP on some other rollers and do some logging - because at 160bhp it would literally be pushing the turbo past safe limits. The PD105s got a piddly little turbo bless it and the injectors are petty small. At the limit of the stock injectors with the stock turbo you are right on the limit of the MAP sensor with about 1.3-1.4 bar of boost (18-19psi, it trips at 21) and could blow :ashamed: - This gives a realistic 145, maybe 150 on a push.
Andy - you know you want the GT front end it's the best Mk5 front end IMO.
Also be VERY careful with those rear bags - They have a tendancy to rub on the suspension arm and can go pop
Airlift brought out new double below rear bags - they're the ones I've gone for and they mount ABOVE the cup rather than in it.
Mine

I'd upgrade to those if I were you for safetys sake. This guy wants £100 - http://www.edition38.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=505491 - They look in as new condition.

Thanks dude :happy2:
I didn't get the the map done, it was already done when I bought it. It is pretty quick tbf, but I thought that was a bit much for a 1.9.
The gt front is the best front in my opinion also.
Yeah I've been told that they rub.. I'm trying to sell both bags so I can buy the new double below performance rear and performance front.
Saw your car at editon on Sunday and I love it! Great job :) is yours also a tdi?

The Slam struts are fine honestly I give mine a fair amount of stick in the corners and it's perfectly fine.
Unless you are making a proper race car, for fast road driving it's good as I explained in PM. :party:
Just buy those double below ones I linked to on Edition, it's really cheap. I'm sure if you offered him 80 quid he'd take it. Nah this one is a GTI, my old car was the diesel. :popcornsoda:
George10:
I just don't wanna cut my anti roll bar mate.
What did you link me to? That's confused me haha!
Ahhh I thought it was still your diesel.
xjay1337:
Wtf? Something is wrong with this forum. Like seriously wrong.
I had to go BACK into my post (as in Edit) not make any changes and click save and the links appeared in the body of the post.
