I dunno...this modding bug sucks!!!

....If I recall correctly, you were just like Phil is now - Highly resistant to any modding! I'd take your time over any big decisions but it does make better financial sense to keep and mod your car - As long as it suits your lifestyle and you love it.

Whitegti, you need to let us know what your new figures are when you have gone back to JKM, standard GTi now stage 2 and APR exhaust.

should be interesting comparing those other Modded Normal GTi's.

Its Hard to keep it Standard, but a Catback System will make it sound lovelly. But the question is which now, Milltek or APR now listening to

WhiteGTi's system. :undecided:

As I said to Stealthwolf, if your ever in the area Steve, then just give me a shout, and you can hear it in real life! There may be sound differences between a cat back and turbo back, but I think you will get the idea of the kind of sound that the APR makes, and you can certainly compare it to the Miltek which you have already heard. The RSC technology that eliminates the drone is all in the cat back - so you will still get the advantage of this :)

Hmm not really sure! From my research I found that most Revo Stage 2 TFSI engines were getting around 240-250. Then, those with a HPFP were getting around 255-265.

So I would hope to get 240 minimum  :smiley: :smiley:

Will post graphs on here when I go back to JKM for a rolling road - will probably be late November!

Im sure Robins when fixed will pull between 240-250, his torque was up the 1st run a few months back on his 236bhp run. Im sure he's 10

ponnies short. Its just a question of time to find them

And yes would be good to hear yours to help me decide later for which zorst. I wonder if theres much diff in price between the systems for a

cat back only.

The APR RSC catback is around £300 more expensive than the Miltek. I guess that is because of the RSC technology.

I think it balances out when you go for a full turbo back system as the APR downpipe and sport cat is around £200 cheaper than the Miltek turboback  :smiley:

I can officially confirm and ratify what Chris has said about his car! He took me out in it last week and although the roads weren't suitable to experience the power it felt v fast from what we did achieve. My main lust is for the exhaust, its simply amazing! I haven't heard a Milltek myself but im already smitten with the APR setup! its joyous to see so many people turn their heads when they hear it, and with the windows down it is frankly biblical!

I said before i got mine that I wouldn't be doing any serious mods but now ... I can hear APR whispering my name along with a remap, intake and forge DV! hahaha f**king forum!  :evil:  :smiley:  that will have to wait until iv got a years no claims and its time to renew my insurance but I WILL be doing it, it just seems rude not to!

Thanks for the kind words. We'll give the car a better run next week.

Will definitely also sort out your modifications too, otherwise I think that Joesgti and TopCat are going to literally start crying hahaha :) :) :)
