Thanks guys, really do love it, fell on my feet with it! Do they normally grumble a bit when you let of the throttle? I think I has had the precat removed as the turbo spools quickly and can hear it quite well too..??

It was sold as 'completely standard' so It shouldn't of had any work done. It is definitely normal for the standard Gti to 'burble' a little bit when coming off throttle. The noise is unburnt fuel hitting the hot exhaust.  :laugh:

Cool.. I wasn't sure, I know they have got a semi decent exhaust system on with being the GTI but I didn't think they would over run like it does! Has anyone on here removed the precat with the standard system?

Thinking about either Decat to standard exhaust, or just remove precat, smooth out the airbox with a decent panel filter and then a map. Might lower it a bit, I think is a bit high really.
Oh and refurb the wheels!!

Pics from today after a 2 bucket wash with my megulars gold..





Let it dry over night properly and then will be getting a polish! Love it!!! :grin:
