Re: Aftermarket Headunit

Why get a 315 off eBay.

It's oem and fully integrated.

I'm not sure on sound quality of the cheaper stuff tbh,

Re: Revo? Forge? VWR?

My 2010 R came with a Revo intake, it made 276BHP with no other mods.
I like it, you can hear the turbo more and when you let off the throttle you get a shoooopp sound, its not overly loud like a after market blow-off valve.

It's a good mod and I would buy one

Re: My 2009 Rocco

Check video above. 215hp and a world of difference compared to the stock 160hp. 55 bhp won't make much difference in the real world , although I'm sure it will feel a lot different, but if you were to time your in-gear or 0-100 times it would probably be less than half a second difference. What do ...

Re: My 2009 Rocco

I don't see much point or potential in tuning a 1.4, it would be better upgrade to a R or to 2.0 tsi

Re: 2017 R remapped

Only issue now is trying to put the power down. 2nd starts spinning at higher revs, 3rd onwards is fine. In the wet ive had it spinning at 80+ in 4th :cry: Same J...

Re: Alignment woes

Thanks xjay I've been looking at my options, I will probably just replace the bushes, I have the bolts already. Then Im going for the powerflex anti lift at the front with an alignment. The anti lift kit looks pretty easy to fit, so I'll give it a try. I must admit I was thinking of swapping to a Go...

Re: Facelift dyno + results

Sounds like you have a tuning box somewhere on car. Something like a TMC tuning box.
