Hi everyone

I have been a member of this site for a while now and have thoroughly enjoyed reading everyone's knowledge and insight.
Back in January I became the proud owner of a black mk v golf gti 2007 model.
I have caught the modding bug and have already started on the slippery slope.
I would just like to introduce myself everyone and say hello!!

Thanks guys.

Mods so far are

Forge twintake
Garage midnight pcv king
R32 rear (bought but not on car yet)
Rcd 510 with bluetooth kit.

A few revision parts
Rev d dv
Cam follower



Exhaust undecided was thinking of getting a full turbo back either miltek scorpion or bcs.
Spoke to Nigel at bcs today to get some quotes, really nice guy and certainly knows his stuff.
Credit has to go to my mate deago ( Ali ) for fitting the mods for me.

Sounds like you've got good plans already, make sure you post some pictures up if you go BCS for your R32 style system. :popcornsoda:

Haha thanks mate. Yep certainly have already done way more than I planned and as I'm writing this I've realised I've posted this in the wrong section  :fighting2: sorry chaps.

It's been a while but I've finally managed to get my r32 bcs style sports system on along with the rear valance.
LOVING this exhaust, working nicely with the twintake and car is definitely pulling harder now.
Big thanks to nige and his boys for getting it sent out so quickly. Also thanks to Regal Autosport in southampton for fitting it so quickly and waiting for me to collect the car after hours.
Also got some pressed plates too!
Have bought some xenons which are going in next week!!
