i know its sick, i live in the boy racer town of mansfield aswell, im not a boy racer but every once in a blue moon il like the odd sprint of the lights, im even weary of cars at the lights such as a clapped out ford fiesta ha ha, its really getting me down, im not great under the bonnet but i sort of know what im looking for, checked hoses to the best of what i could see, checked and cleaned m.a.f, cleaned forge splitter valve, i just need someone who knows there stuff to check for me

It wont be that quick without a remap -  heavy car TBH 

Get rid of the splitter valve for a start - get a forge 007p

shouldn't be a problem for a standard 1.8t I would have thought, the bhp/weight would suggest the golf has the advantage, same with the torque/weight. I wouldn't have thought a standard 1.8t to murder it but then I certainly wouldn't have thought it be beaten by it either...

It might be a good idea to do a smoke test to check for any boost leaks, then as above, a forge 007 and a remap would be nice.
Believe it or not I still get young drivers in the likes of a 206 gti 180 trying to race me lol
