The first modification had to be to replace the standard rcd300
 I got a rcd510 so fitted that

But then i found a rns510  so fitted that and also found a armrest in leather

Also fitted media-in to go into the armrest and also genuine phone prep which is very handy.

I then needed to give the car a full clean
Wash, clay , polish then waxed with AG hd wax

After having the turbo replaced i thaught it was time to get the car remapped which makes the car more fun to drive

any reason why your photos aren't the right way round???  :stupid:

You should replace the intercooler too, I replaced just the turbo, 9 months later I had to replace it again because there was sh*t in the intercooler pipes.

My turbo didnt blow it just got noisey and managed to get it changed under vw goodwill  so didnt have to change the intercooler thankfully
