So I have decided I need to update my thread,

I have gone Stage 2 had her on the dyno 2 weeks ago. She is making 160.5KW's at the front wheels.
Have not yet done intake or HPFP.

I have installed a Alpine X100 - so far the power for Acc has been a nightmare got it some what sorted. But if the key is not turned all the way. The radio does not go on.

Installed a Parrot CK3000 Evo in the car. It works but no where as nicely as it did in my mk5 TDI.

Installed a Passat CC Euro lights switch (very plush with the rest of the aluminum look)

Ordered APR Rear anti-roll bar last friday. It turned up at my place around 2pm this afternoon. by 2:30pm it was already installed and put the old one in it's packaging. Will also be doing the full pump internals this weekend so Hopefully by Monday I can have Stage 2+ installed.

Have confirmed a Audi S3 front brake kit for the car today. Will finalize hopefully on Sunday at the latest. So should see them hopefully around the time for the next upgrade.

Next on the list will be Walk and intake.

Damn you RebRobin - lol just joking. I hated red mk5's now I have one and like it to much. But wanting end up similar look to your signature GTI. I like that look.

But seriously considering selling the gti and getting a CW or TR 5 door GTI DSG or maybe if I can find one an ED30. As I want to remove rear seats.

I have just fitted the PCV Stage 1 block off kit.  :grin:
Have not driven the car much yet. :driver:
Will update my findings on this one.

From Start to Finish

Showing the different Plates from BSH - They Sent one of each, all thou I was suppose to receive two of the left hand model.
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Frxi_rola%2FGolf%2FIMG_0342.jpg&hash=9e9ccdf731b98071ecc0e88739def11063884c8e)
Will hear what they have to say.

Showing Standard PCV system - Checked nothing actually wrong with it at all. Oh well rather be Safe.

Also jumped into the can gateway and disable the radio out. Getting annoyed with the radio warning when I VCDS the car. grrr. :happy2:
Will re-enable when I get a replacement radio.   :grin:
