Dear All,
Just treated my Mk5 to some new goodies and I'm delighted with them all. I've been running a GIAC phase one from Regal @ 250Bhp for 30K faultless miles and have now have complemented this with the DSG software and a rolling road run with new iridium plugs...... what a difference to the everyday driving this makes and I would recommend. Torque take up is more urgent and it's quicker through the gears. Basically commuting in 'D' mode is a pleasure as well as all the other advertised benefits of manual and 'S' mode operation.
Secondly, Monzas are a pain when they start 'worming' and I have researched many fora for a reliable diamond cut. I eventually concluded that the best option was to powder coat and A1 powder coating in Southampton have done a fantastic job on my Monzas. They look fantastic in a chrome powder coat, I'm over the moon! The charm's back with the old smoker!
