Title: Edition30 #0151
Post by: Hxrry96 on December 11, 2017, 11:51:44 am
Here's a thread to keep tracks with my Silver Edition30 DSG, build number #0151 :evilgrin:

The car was purchased completely standard on January 2nd 2017 and this is a thread compiled from then until now. I'll also add that it's booked in for Stage 2+ at R-Tech on January 5th 2018 :laugh:

My full spec list is;


This was my first ever picture of the car up near Newcastle when I purchased it;

After stage 2+ in January, going for some aesthetics like splitters and side skirt extenions. Then I'll do stuff like Anti-Lift kits and some polybushing  :happy2:

I wasn't smitten with Silver before owning this, I didn't really like the idea of a Silver car all the way to have a look at this one... I saw it and fell in love straight away!!

Well I had it mapped on the 5th and with a boost leak, I was capped at 368bhp and 403 ft/lb... with more power possible I’ll be sorting it ASAP and booking in for a tweak.

368 is already good. Did you sort the leak? What was it?
