Post by: Scott-R on 02 June 2012, 08:28: Got my golf back last night! Been in the shop for 2 months and whats been done to car is..

- ko4-001
- forge recirc dump valve
- forge actuator
- custom exaust from turbo back
- black diamond clutch stage 2
- custom on road remap
- induction kit
- HID white light kit

And few more wee bits like boost gauge etc turns out its the AUQ engine model with the 6 speed box. Pulls very well but ordered some samco hoses and and alloy intercooler to replace standard one. (not a fan of front mounts). Its holding 1.3 bar of boost at the moment and feels quite nippy.

P.s. How do i post pics?

Post by: Scott-R on 12 August 2012, 15:39: Hope to have car back on road this week then dyno'd soon as possible. Anyone with similar mods had a dyno or a rough guess what bhp i should hope for?

260? Too much to ask of my ko4-001?
