Post by: Adam on 24 September 2009, 14:04
Got a call from Nick saying they will be outside in 10mins, I had just got up! So I was a mess  :embarassed:

After saying I ain't going to mod my mk4.........it happened  :evil: :evil: :evil:

Thanks to the lad I can't put my foot down in 2nd without all hell happening. :smiley:

I thought it was torquey as it was but now! I love it, different car to drive.

yes and no

1) Price of a new SFS hose new is well over £100!! I've never seen a 2nd hand for sale since I bought mine
2) the hose is a fair bit bigger then the EGR delete so you need a hefty clamp to tighten it down - not sure about longevity with this  :undecided:
3) shhhhhh  :tongue:

I wouldn't want to cut the original just in case something happened and you need to put the egr back on :lipsrsealed:

Still loving it, loving the smoke as well. No clutch slip and all my pipes are staying intact.......JKM next week

We tested the difference between mine and a Skoda Fabia VRs (130pd) and its unreal.

make sure the Skoda doesn't get a remap - I drove one and it feels faster in standard form than the Golf  :lipsrsealed:

There was no difference between them before the remap it was neck n neck.  He is getting a remap next year....so before then I need a hybrid.....  :grin:
