So there I was talking to a guy about booking my other car in for its service and he says to me ''do you still have your mk6 Golf?''
Turns out that there's a guy reasonably local to me ( I've never seen the car around and don't know who it is) who's got the full VWR conversion and is stripping it off before selling up. The brakes have already got a buyer but he's also selling the turbo back exhaust.
I asked how much the guy is going to let it go for and he said £600 as that's about half price so long as it's a cash sale and it get's collected from the workshop without the guy getting his hands dirty.
So, I'm very tempted.
What I need to know is can I just go straight to Stage 2 software with the exhaust and not have an intake and uprated intercooler?
And how much difference in general road driving (I don't hoon around like a 17 year old) does it make? I've only ever gone as far as stage 1 before on any car (apart from an old Ibiza that I went mental on) as I appreciate the better low end torque with the re-map. I hardly ever use high revs (so a K04 would be wasted on me) and the car is used pretty much only for dual carriageway and motorway work.
Is it going to be worth if for me or not?
Quick edit: And how noisy is the turbo back?
