I personally use www.PowerBulbs.com, as they are one of the honest, "no-bull", and well-established internet retailers, who also have physical stands at various motorshows and events.


http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=7198.0 for a 10% discount - i think it still works! Worth a try!!  :laugh: :laugh:

Ahh, righty.  I really must venture out of the Mk5 section - do you think I will be OK, providing I return before midnight!  :grin:  :grin:  :grin:

I've ordered a Milltek exhaust, Carbonio airbox, and after extensive reading of the posts on this forum will be getting a Revo map to finish things off.

....Sounds familiar! :smiley:

Which Milltek?

The Carbonio won't make much noticeable difference without also having the Milltek and the remap.

I can very strongly recommend Jim at JKM Portsmouth as a Revo tuner who knows his onions and will give you excellent personal service (as will Kate). They're not the closest but worth the journey in my opinion. A small family business of true enthusiasts.

My advice would be to get to know the car as it is for a couple of thousand miles before modding, or at least before remapping.

I got a full system/Hi-flo cat with the twin 72mm back box. Not really a fan of the quad exhaust look.

Thanks for the recommendation. I'll let the exhaust bed in first then get the remap done. That will probably be after xmas now.

....I've got the same Milltek system: Non-Resonated Hi-flow+Downpipe but with quad final exits from the rear box. :cool:
