as I've been told by APR they will run better with the Remap on the Car they are one step colder than the standard Spark plugs

then I've got the APR stage 2 Remap and the Turboback Milltek system

Nice Car Bud. Loving the Black on Black. If I ever change my car I want one of these :p.

Quick question though, where did you get the GTi Footrest ??

Yeah agree with the black on black :thumbsup: looks good

You getting lows?

Tasty. +1 for lows ;)

have you got a front mount since you are running stage 2 or just using standard intercooler?

got the footrest of ebay apparently its was originally for the 9n3 but it fits the 6R as well. was just a nice little detail to add to the interior and its simple enough to do.

I'm between getting lowering springs and coil overs ! i didn't really want to slam it but the arch gaps are very high standard i think ill just end up going for lowering springs unless i can pick up a quality set of coil overs at a good price !

this is next on the list performance wise ! seen as its been done I've not noticed any issues temp wise but i only got it done in jan so its not been hot enough to strain the existing system, ill have to see how it goes when the weather warms up, it will probably effect the performance when it does so ill have to get one summer time haha.

sweet motor :thumbsup:

Recommend a Set of AP coilovers for around 400 a little more and you can get adjustable dampening to help that ride and fly around bends.. You will need a relatively good set so you can control it nicely and feel comfy and committed. Not that low just to loose the arch gap as such.. Looks good so far thoo..
