Per-cat delete... I know a few people have done this and got rid of the honey comb gauze stuff I don't know what kind of gains it would make but I guess it would make it less restrictive on the exhaust gases. it gotta help?
As for the map at R-Tec. Plan was in January but it might have to slip to february now due to a few mods I want done...before I go.

loving the car Deano.
Have you noticed any difference in throttle response having the induction kit fitted. I have read a lot about people saying that it makes the car lose torque low down the rev range. is it much noisier?
need to pull my finger out and start doing some more mods.
:happy2:

Cheers Graham...I appreciate the comments still lots too do as always..
As for the induction kit. I heard a lot of people saying about the loss of torque low down..but to be honest it's so low not even noticeable..i was always going to remap anyway.as for the noise you do get an increased intake noise e.g the turbo spoiling and you can also hear the dump valve when changing ..who does not like that...
Hope this helps....

hi all..just another update..well over the last 3 weeks or so I have been collecting all the parts needed for my R32 brake conversion and to be fair their has been a lot to collect. when I decided to upgrade the brakes I thought buying some used ones and then getting them refurbished would be a good money saving idea. How Wong I was. Anyway ended up buying a new caliper as the used one was not great so all in it has cost be £600 had a good deal on some brembo discs and pads.. got to say it has been one of the best mods so far...these and the standard GTI brakes are miles apart.. also had to run 10mm spacers up front to clear the brakes ive got some h&R ones on order at the mo...

Also gave her a bit of a clean today...
Also decided to get rid of the standard stereo/satnav MdF2 just fancied an upgrade something I can hook my iphone/iPod/ up too..I don't use sat nav much anyway so I am not going to miss it at all. So Managed to get hold of an ex demo AVH-3500DAB and and used the CT23VW01 fitting kit from car audio security which is totally adjustable. Also purchased some trim tools so glad I had those..
