Ryans tornado red GTI
RyanGTI:
Finally got round to spending a bit of money and forked out for a forge Twintake from a fellow user on here, very exciting.
I'm guessing this might be a good time to change my diverter valve to an uprated one?
Also looking to get it remapped to revo or Apr stage 1 after fitting the twintake, does anybody know of anywhere in the Bournemouth / Poole area that come recommended in this?
Other than that not much to report but some hard driving and lots of cleaning :) but hopefully be doing a few bits up to Christmas.
On the agenda..
Bbs Vz 18 x 8s
Head unit
Remap
Drive like mad.

Not wanting to burst your bubble but I tried a couple of intakes on mine and found the OEM set up was better with stage 1.

In what way is that? :( did you get mapped to stage 1 with OEM set up or with an induction fitted? Thanks

I had mine stage 1 mapped at R-tech. Then i played with the ITG intake with different filters supplied by ITG and they all produced less torque so the car felt slower. Chatted to R-tech and they said the same and recommended going back to the OEM airbox with just a panel filter. My dyno figures are with the OEM airbox.

So I got my new Forge Twintake and quickly installed it. Wasn't to sure If I liked it at first it's louder than I thought but have since changed my mind after going for a hoon.
Finally got round to getting some little bits.
New mats from awesome gti as I hated my cheap ones.
Rev g DV
Cam follower
3m headlight restoration kit
Probably be trying to get a few bits for the car every week from now on or else I'll just keep looking and never get stuff done!
Quick pic of the intake, this is before I installed the bung for the DV port so no there isn't a hole in it!
