Haha ive been planning already. Im booking it in for a DSG service tomorrow then if funds allow a stage 1 remap, DSG remap and ill do a EGR delete and DPF removal. I work in a bodyshop and used to work at a VAG repairer so ill do most stuff myself. I wanted coilovers but i cant go lower than standard because of my driveway is on a slant and it'd scrape over the raised path lol so ill just look for some smart rims that fit the arches right. Anyone recommend an exhaust for a TDI? Fancy a Milltek but open to others

I took mine to Darkside who made a 3" cat-back. They also did my EGR delete and maps  :party:
