£200 ... if you think that an exhaust will cost more , for much less of a gain then its a proper bargain ,

The difference is not just the extra bit of power but it actually feels like the turbo is working as it should do !

what mk Ashtray did you have and what made you get the Golf? Only asking as we were looking at them before the Golf came up for sale but they were too much money at the time...

Anyways the Golf feels crap standard, get a stage 1 remap and go from there. Oh and Matt means you will just want more and more power  :grin:
