Finally had my APR TBE fitted and wow what a difference it makes to the car! Cant believe it has taken me 3 years to get a new exhaust fitted can certainly see my fuel bills going up! :laugh:
Big thanks to AndyWard from the forum for selling me his old exhaust great guy and great price!
Thought would be rude to not go stage 2 with Revo while it was in the shop as only cost £60 (all ready had stage 1) Low end grunt has certainly improved pick up from low revs is much better and certainly a lot smoother!
All in all a very good day and one very happy Gti! :)
Did a quick vid of new exhaust sound for anyone interested (best listened too on proper speakers rather than phone speakers as wont do it justice)

I'll second that as i've got revo stage 2 but havent had it on a dyno! Also, is anyone upgrading their intercooler now that you're on stage 2? Or will the standard one be fine?
-
Mine ran 290bhp on stage 2 revo on standerd cooler not sure if would get much gain on intercooler anyone no if its worth buying?

Hi mate, the clutch was something like £580 all in i think from regal autosport, and i kept the OE dmf.Did you get 290bhp? Thats pretty impressive, if i get that much i'll be over the moon! How come you've had a stage 2 revo with just a panel filter? Thought you has to have a full induction kit? Oh and the only reason i put the sachs clutch on as it was slightly slipping in 5th gear at stage 1 nevermind 2.
-
I bought the car like this and the guy said he dint put an induction on as it would use a fair bit more fuel he said. when he had stage 2 done it slipped a few times the clutch the day he had it done then since then it has never slipped the clutch has done 15k miles on the stage 2 and is still not slipping but carnt imagine its going to last much longer so waying up a race clucth i also get the release bearing grind when car is cold which is annoying but he told me this would not affect anything do anyone no if thats true as the noise when cold does not sound nice at all

I had that annoying release bearing noise from when I bought my car used to hate it. When I took my car to stage 1 last year after a few weeks my clutch started slipping pretty bad original clutch was on about 68k miles by then. So I had the sachs uprated clutch fitted and at same time a brand new OEM duel mass fly wheel. Total parts and labour was around £700. Clutch was slightly heavier but after a week didnt even notice it but gear changes felt a lot better, and best of all it got rid of the annoying release bearing noise (as a new one comes with the sachs clutch.)
Had a VW up as a courtesy car not long ago and I thought the clutch had gone on it when I went to drive off as my foot was so used to the sachs clutch that I just kept putting it to the floor :laugh:
Hope this helps :)

Just out of curiousity, how do you find the forge blow off valve on your golf? Do you like it? I'm very tempted to get one but dont wan it to sound too chavvy if that's what its like.
-
Its okay is quite loud not as good as an actual dump valve the noise is the same most way frew the rev range were on a dump valve makes more noise off the more u boost it they are noy expensive can pick cheap ones up for £30 off ebay and easy fit worth a try but ye they are quite loud mate

That's what mine looks like with the H&R springs mate, at Gti inters, i think the back sits perfect woth 12mm spacers aswell but the front might need to be a tad lower for perfection, but i like it the way it is! :drool:
