Tbh Dave's even harder to get hold of  :signLOL:

He's a very busy guy but Alex you need to call for sure his Pm's get lost in the pile  :P

eBay could be an option get a cheap set to refurb then you'd have colour choice too  :innocent:

Ok so I finally managed to get down to see Alex yesterday at AKS Tuning and get some more goodies fitted to my car



First up was to fit a full BCS zorst, as you can see below its a lovely looking system and a true 76mm all the way except for a cheeky 90mm down pipe and some sexy black tips  :innocent:



Quick shot of the old system still on the car



Was impressed with it as it sounded deeper than my GTI's standard exhaust and comes with a kind of powervalve flap that opened up when you floored it making it sound even better

Then the BCS system was fitted and was pretty much spot on alignment wise off the bat so no need for loads of tweaking just some fine tuning spacing the tips on the valance and poke was perfect





Think you'll agree it looks huge in comparison and didn't disappoint on startup with some light revving I was very happy  :love:

It's got a lovely deep burble and breaks up nicely as you raise the revs slightly with an addictive overrun  :evilgrin:

Once a slight adjustment was made this is how the tips ended up, nice and tucked with not too much poke





Then Alex fitted some red R8 coil packs, IGK spark plugs and RS4 FPRV before loading on the revo stage 2+ linear map file

After some logging on the road she was set up and ready for a test drive.... Wow is all I can say  :congrats:

Alex did a great job and I'm over the moon with how the car feels on the road, stunningly quick and has torque all over the place and just keeps on pulling hard till I run out of road  :signLOL:

Looking forward to getting down to santa pod and see what difference in time it's made as I ran a 13.2 at stage 1 so should see high 12s  :party:

Thanks for looking

Dave

Was setup and logged on the road not on rollers so will have to wait till the next surrey RR to get actual figures but should be between 340-360bhp as that seems the average  :happy2:
