It looks great! :jumping: Maybe you can make a small video with sound.
BCS is a quality product, full 3" i think.

It's the Powervalve Prestige System, so it's quieter than the Powervalve Sport System. The idling noise is better than OEM but off boost is very civilized. :grin: Yeah, it's 3" all the way. :happy2:
I don't have a GoPro but the sound is the same as this example: :evilgrin:
Very happy about it, although it wasn't cheap. Just think how the Euro has lost it's value in the last couple of months... I had to pay an extra 200 € because of the decreased value compared to the time I entered the Group Buy plus the exchange taxes. :scared:

I hope my list is starting to decrease, finally. :laugh:
I still have another new bit to share that I finished fitting today. :innocent:

Not necessarily that you'll still own it, but in about 15 years you'll probably get someone give you ridiculous money for it from Britain somewhere when they're in the early days of becoming a classic :grin: :laugh: :wink:

Well, mine might be the only Candy White in Portugal. I know there's a 5 doors Tornado Red with manual gearbox near my location but I've never seen it, just photos from a common acquaintance that shared them on Facebook.
There's another 3 doors Silver Reflex with manual gearbox in the North of the country. Those I are the only I know of.
I'm glad it showed up for sale when it did or I'd have to get one in Germany. My alternative was also a Candy White, 5 doors, from 2007, with 50.000 miles and already stage 2 tuned. With import taxes it would have been more expensive.
I plan on keeping this Eddie for a long time, not sure if until it's last days, but it's just like the GT Sport. I can't fault them for what they can do. When I need more boot space I borrow my dad's Passat Variant. :laugh:
Shoduchi:
To finish the update for now, I had to return the RNS-510 P because it had a problem in the rear Quad-Lock connector. Got the refund and PayPal also refunded almost all the return shipping cost, using their return insurance. :smiley:
Coded it, activated the secret menu and VIM, and got it configured just the way I like it. :smiley:
Shoduchi:
Delivered the Eddie today to get all the remaining bits at my mechanic (200 miles away).
Not easy to fit all the boxes with all the parts in the boot and back of the car (and front passenger floor space)... :laugh:
Still waiting for the brake calipers, UPS says they arrive tomorrow, and for a Vibra-Technics Bottom engine mount/Subframe mount (VAG520M) that I've just bought from the For Sale section. :smiley:
Can't wait to get the Eddie back and get it remapped. :party:
