Hello all, first post
« on: 10 September 2008, 16:07 »
Hi all,

First post here like to say hello. Been reading the post, great info I must say.

I got 57 plate diamond black 5dr Dsg ed30. I love it, but do think the brakes can be improved :) Drove it to Brussels last weekend taken it to some serious MPHs. The car is still under warranty, I was wondering if I add a boost gauge will it void my warranty?

many thanks

Hi and welcome. Best colour choice as well :cool:

See RR's GTI for big red brakes :evil:

Hi Marshmallow and welcome to the forum :cool:

Now where have I seen a car like yours (but in silver!) :wink:

Get some pics up when you can :smiley:

Yes the brakes can definitely be improved upon (see my sig). Just use the search function on here and you'll find quite a few options popping up. It all depends on how much you want to spend.

As for adding the boost guage, It doesn't alter anything within the engine as it is simply a guage and so shouldn't affect your warranty :smiley:

It will only affect your warranty if VW can prove an attempted warranty claim for a fault is caused directly by the modification. As long as its fitted correctly you'll be fine.. which means no tapping into the vacuum for the fuel pressure regulator :wink:
