Just followed one of these home (In my Tranny Connect, so couldn't play games) and I was amazed at just how lush it looked in it's electric blue paintwork. :drool:
When I grow up I might get one of these. :grin:
Is it the Mk5 or Mk6 engine in these?
-
Don't tell Carl this
:grin:
-
Just for info it's Race Blue..... :P.
The mk2 vRS has the Tfsi engine (mk5), very late models have the Tsi (mk6) as does the FL mk2 ( like Carl and Ian's) :sad1:.
I think they are rather nice! :happy2:

Race blue then, but electric blue describes it better :P I love those sort of blues, a bit like the Mk4 R32.
I have to say, I'm a convert, I used to mock the Edna Everidge front end, but it all comes together to make a cracking looking motor.
If I ever hear 'the pitter patter of tiny feet'.......

I really considered getting the latest octy saloon in race blue if I did get rid of my car after the break in. I they are stunning and for what you get for the money definitely will be a contender if I can't afford a golf R for my next car

I hope my next car willbe an R in a couple of years. Better stay away from the Mrs, don't want to land up in a wagon just yet!
-
Well I want an R but SWMBO wants a RR evoque. so it's either keep the gti or get a gtd/octy and an evoque unless we can afford both
-

Depends on the model year. I think prefacelift were EA113 (Mk5) engined, later ones EA888 (Mk6)
I agree with you I really like them. If I was a family man I'd be in a vRS estate :happy2:

These ones look better :wink:

This is the FL version with the TSi engine in which is the same as in the MK6 Golf GTi
The Pre-FL had the TFSi engine same as the MK5 GTi. However some of the Limited Edition vRS petrol had the TSi engine in.
I love mine and having just spent 8hrs travelling oop norf (fcuking traffic :fighting:) with a full boot, two week old baby, two dogs and a full roof box (oh and the wife :grin:) I can safely say I made the right decision.
They get even better with a map too :wink:

I hate them! :signLOL:

Is the Staging the same for remapping as it is for the Golf then, i.e. same principles re required upgrades? I really like them, didn't realise they looked so good. Just had a look on Autotrader, don't fancy the pre-FL TBH. The one I saw yesterday was a 61 plate FL. Nice. :drool:

You don't need a pump for the TSi as its OEM pump is rated to at least 150bar. I don't think you need to change injectors either for KO4. But I'm sure someone will confirm.
At the moment you can only go to Stg 2 before changing the Turbo. You can KO4 them but the Turbo needs machining to add a DV. APR do a kit which is approx £1600 plus fitting. Jim at JKM has this on his car and it pulls 350bhp/387lb/ft with REVO mapping and is definitely the fastest VAG car I've been in after an RS6.
Jim is planning to put a hooooge turbo on it though (GT3071 iirc) so that will be interesting.
You only need map, intake and DP to maximise Stg 2

Thanks Carl,
That's good to know for the future, I'mpretty sure now I'll end up in one of these, and that's no bad thing. Is DP the downpipe?
-
Yup.
The DP off any K04 car is a straight fit as well. You would need a reducer though to mate to the OEM back box.
-
Interesting thread. I really wouldnt have guessed. Certainly throws a few options about. Did they ever do a 4wd variant?
-
Yup.
The DP off any K04 car is a straight fit as well. You would need a reducer though to mate to the OEM back box.
The ihi turbo on the tsi requires a slightly different flange on the downpipe as the studs are not spaced the same as the Borg warner turbos on the fsi.
-

Are you sure?
I know a few people that have bolted S3 Miltek DP's straight onto the IHI and I don't think they modified them in any way :confused:

I am :)
They will fit but the flange needs modding slightly.

I love mine and having just spent 8hrs travelling oop norf (fcuking traffic :fighting:) with a full boot, two week old baby, two dogs and a full roof box (oh and the wife :grin:)
Jesus, is that including having to stop every two hours?
-
It's because Carl is such a slow, careful and conscientious driver. :wink:

Yes. We ended up stopping 5 times as he is cluster feeding at the moment. The journey normally takes 2.5-3hrs as its only 197 miles and virtually all M'Way / dual carriageway.

Got to eek out the MPG as that's more important especially with stage 1 :grin:

Even when he stops cluster feeding you're only supposed to leave them in the car seat for two hours maximum, to avoid damaging their back.
-
I know I was just saying we stopped 5 times due to the cluster feeding.
I can't complain about the traffic. They shut the M6 at jct 18 for the Air Ambulance and it cause a tailback from 18 down to 10. Just hope whoever needed it pulled through ok.
