A Wolf in Sheep's clothing?

Went for a blast in the rain and wind the other day, what a stinker of a day. Still beautiful by the sea though 





These pictures were taken before I fitted a new black and red front grille badge too....

Looking good that there!

Twas fecking freezing and the pictures are sh!te because I couldn't stand still  Still I love going for a blast in the wet, you certainly learn decent throttle control, with 75% worn tyres and leaves all over the road.

Thought I'd put some up of the same spot on a beautiful crisp morning, but with my new front grille badge in situ. I plan to do the rear too, but am just waiting on a kind sir from this very forum who has kindly donated me some grey 3m vinyl wrap to colour code the badge 

Thanks Hurdy

I do like that front nose much more than stock

I'll get the Vinyl to you as soon as I can. 

Did you use a camera this time instead of the phone? The pic looks clearer.

It does look better, nose wise, with the black and red badge for sure. Cheers for the comments.

Still used the camera phone, but it wasn't horrendous weather, I reckon it was gusting at 80mph+ and the rain was horizontal! I'm a big fat w anker and it was blowing me off my feet 

Ps. No worries on the vinyl fella, whenever suits you, snail mail only! Cheers for helping out a young padawan

Well, three years to the day since I used the site, but I'm back!

Bit of advice required. Firstly, I didn't want to start a new thread unless completely necessary and secondarily I've Googled the information I'm trying to look for a hundred times and I still haven't come to a conclusive answer.

I'm running a Mk5 Gti with 292bhp and 287lbft. The list of mods is endless, but as of next week I'm having a whole load of work carried out on the old girl.

The list is as follows:

Clutch & DMF
Gearbox Oil Change
Engine Oil Change
Oil Filter
Fuel Filter
Spark Plugs
Cam Follower
ECS Subframe Spacer & Bolts
ITG Maxogen G60 (Upgrade)
4 x Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric
N75 Valve
**RS4 Fuel Return Valve**

It is the last item on the list I'm most quizzical about. I run a KO3 turbo and stock HPFP and am wondering about the gains if any at all to be had by installing this and also whether or not the car would need to be mapped again to accommodate the mod, or whether or not my current map would just learn to adapt? My car has never had a problem coping or delivering the power, but occasionally I feel as though there's a slight flat spot around 5000-5500rpm. It has never shown on any dyno plots, so it could be psychosomatic. I do however, when the car is cold, notice a blip where there is a complete lack of power, it clears straight away, but it's very apparent, I could for instance completely depress the throttle and the car wouldn't go anywhere. So I figures for the sake of a £50 part and 30 mins labour, I thought it would be prudent to give it a bash.

I'd be grateful for any advice.

Many Thanks

Miles

Hi Miles.

PM'd you. 

Also you don't need to remap the car again when fitting an RS4 FPRV.

Hey buddy!!!!

Long time no speak

Car still in the garage and going into paintshop tomorrow for two days. Arghhh

[MS1COYS]

By the way John, what do you think to my comment about the occasional stalling of power when cold as if there's zero boost?
