Title: New Mk7 GTD owner
Post by: chrismc on 06 May 2016, 09:04: Hello all

Back in a VW after a few years away- when the missus lets me near it!

Mk7 GTD in Tornado Red with a DTUK tweak. Very impressed so far!

Have owned several hot VW's in the past. Started out with an 8v mk2 GTi- later modded to 2L with big valve head & Schrick cam. Moved onto a throttle bodied mk2 2L 16v before a Jetta GTi (2L 16v), Integra R, another Mk2 16v Golf (2L)- can you see a theme? :grin:

Now drive a mildly tweaked Accord R as my daily & have a stripped BB1 Prelude VTEC as my track toy....

The mk7 has reinvigorated my VW interest after I became very disenchanted with the whole Club GTi scene. Maybe I need another mk2? :shocked:

Site looks good with lots of info

Cheers

That looks the mutts nuts, though is there not room for a proper filter for all the trumpets? I had to have socks on my old Ford engined shuvit but they're not I'd, they slow down the air as they have such a small surface area and create extra turbulence being so close to the trumpet the air can't settle down in the short distance, looks amazing though

The DTH ITBs combined with the longest (good for torque) air horns didn't give a favourable angle to allow a big foam filter to be fitted.

The individual socks seemed to work tbh
