So i bought this with 69k on the clock off an estate agent that i know.... never smoked in, well looked after with a full service history from vw!!! loads of reciepts including cambelt and clutch done within 6 months of me buyin it!!

Got no pics from when first bought!! Firstly i got some wheels, pipercross air filter, smoothed the air box and put a dsg intake in.

(http://i1092.photobucket.com/albums/i408/rioracer/DSC00642.jpg)

(http://i1092.photobucket.com/albums/i408/rioracer/Untitled-1.jpg)

but soon realised that if i wanted it to actually pull the skin off a rice puddin i'd have to get it mapped so off to r-tech i went, for a remap and a forge 007p

(http://i1092.photobucket.com/albums/i408/rioracer/101_1802.jpg)

it made 191bhp with 202 torque as there were some issues with the n75 valve and boost leaks

so agu charge pipe was put on and that helped massively!!!

a powerflex dog bone bush was also added, along with metal pressed plates from ultimate dubs.

had to get rid of the nasty wood so carbon fiber was stuck on, a gearknob to suite, some bora vents, clocks, along wiith the mint steering wheel i got out of it too!!

so i had to find some way to ruin the remap, so i got a 3" downpipe and decat, the forge 5 piece boost hose set, and the anniversary exhaust off a mate, also got the gen anni wheels off him too!!! and although with all these upgrades it is a much better drive, it has thrown the map out and occasionally feels a bit rough  :rolleyes:

decided also to wrap the front and rear badges, remove the golf letters and re-do the I in carbon as i prefer the black look

(http://i1092.photobucket.com/albums/i408/rioracer/0e5669a4.jpg)

done some polishing of the inlet manifold, tb, fitted a catch can and creation motorsport TIP

had to something with that awful rocker so out came the high temp paint

Cheers guys always happy to hear feedback  :smiley:

Can't do much at the mo as some pipes are out of stock but decided to trim the bumper down last night, as it would foul the intercooler pipes

Before
(http://i1092.photobucket.com/albums/i408/rioracer/F701796E-4DD0-4BC3-A348-4A397C67E7D1-2575-000001A0FDDA395F.jpg)

Bad pic I know!! Decided to cut a flat surface rather than a circle for the pipe work so I could still put the mesh in without it looking like I gave the bumper to a butcher to chop!!

Took 11 hours start to finish, including plenty of fags during... It went in and out 3 times cos of stupid things but eventually got it done!!!!

So since Saturday I've been getting the final bits sorted:
Raised the suspension for the rollers
Sorted all exhaust leaks
Got new o rings for injectors
New gaskets for inlet mani and tb (incase I swap them)
Just making sure I've covered all bases so there are no issues for mapping.
