Fuel consumption has increased noticeably.

Is this normal? If anything, I thought it would be improved.

Cooler air  :embarassed:

Golfyste, surprisingly it looks similar to yours. I haven't stuck my grills back on yet, Don't know if I can be bothered! Aka maximum cooling :laugh:
Going for pretty much the same spec as your golf actually. K04-001 waiting to be fitted :afro:

what map are you running? If you've just stuck it on a standard map don't forget you're now filling up about 3 times the amount of area before you get to peak boost...
