Have been a member for years and never sorted out a build-up.

So i'll start then.

The beginning,

Enough pics for that post,

A few more latest pics to be added.

Any comments?

looks really nice.

glad to see the exhaust changed from the first pics.

 looking very smart, dont normally like the debadged look but that is look very smart, i see you changed your exhaust, did you keep hitting it or something?

looking good tho

Very good, glad to see you replaced the previous exhaust for something far more understated

 The old exhaust came on the car when i bought it, it rubbed everywhere.

A long time coming but it had to go.

Good man

Looking good mate - what's your plans for the future with it?

Wigster. 

 looking good now needs a remap though lol

 A CC re-map is a must, as soon as i can, but i'd like a bigger turbo. I might have the chance of ko4 straight of an s3 with manafold etc, at the end of summer (better start saving).

 Custom Code re-map booked.

1 week friday.

Can't wait.

 should fly after that mate

Looking good and very similar to mine!

You gotta love Indigo... mmm.

Looking really smart

Goody

Looks stunning!

Cant believe you didnt do this post earlier!

My re-map was done by Custom Code.  It's like driving a different car when you get it back and it improves as the ECU learns the car's new settings over the first 40-50 miles and approx half hour of driving time. 

Wigster. 

 Chears guys for the feedback.

I started buying bits before booking the remap, but got the door triggers yesterday.

Just center console pieces left to buy

Ashtray cover

One week and remap.

Yes it is a good colour.

The main reason i bought the car, i had no idea about AGU.

I was looking at A3's and i feel embarrissed to say Scoobys.

 Remap, remap! Count down is on....

 Remap, remap! Count down is on....

She's sitting in the garage now.

Tomorows the day, i'm hoping for over 200hp due to 163 near standard. fingers crossed or im i dreaming?

Come 4:30 time will tell.

 Re-map, not the best result.

161.6bhp to 175.6bhp - 155.5ibft to 200.7lbft

I've gained about 40bhp mid range.

My waste gate spring is soft, so i've bought one of these, if not, my turbos bu66ered

 Seems a bit low? Did any faults show up on vag com?

 i haven't pluged in yet, but my dump valve was'nt working right(fixed), which made the wastegate chatter.

The guys are a Forge distributor and had an Adjustable Actuator in stock from a client who changed their mind.

So thought i'd buy.

They are to busy to fit itat the moment, castle combe tomorow

 Could be a maf,or a boost leak.For gods sake scan it before you buy any parts

 Dont think its a boost leak, and i thought maf cause of carbono.

Chears Patch, the garage guys are mates, they will plug in before i buy(ran out of time today), im going for Actuator cause its cheep'ish.

Patch, thanks, keep an eye need info.

 Hi Bailey, Just to let you know I saw you today just before Liskeard Trago, You were coming towards me... Your car looked mint! easily the nicest looking golf I've seen on the road. I went up with Fez and Kris to RK for him to get his milltek, and unfortunately it's given me the modding bug! Already got full new suspension and shocks sat in ym car waiting to go on, and today I put on my BMC Carbon Dynamic Airbox... Now I can't help putting my foot down cuz it sounds so nice! I've started working as a detailer for TMR customs, and its bloody difficult cuz they get everything at trade price, and it's the same price to me, so temptation is getting the better of me! It dosn't help that they have trade accounts with Forge and wheelbase... bugger!

Hi Nathan, went to looe today, then popped into trago fo some bargins.

thanks for coment about car, fancy a job detailing before ED38?

alright mate 

is that photo from inters taken at the gate?

if so how can i get them becuase i would like to see my car flying past

cheers

Hi Bailey, Yeah I'd be more than happy to do a detail for you. I'm pretty much free whenever so if you let me know when you're available then that's be good. I could do a paintwork correction and wax it for you sometime soon then maybe do a wax top-up nearer the time? the paint should be easy enough to maintain... Plus I've got some new Zymol wax, especially for dark cars, but I don't have a dark car! Needless to say it's good s**t. Do you know the reason your remap had bad results? Was looking at the Superchip brochure in work today (We're now superchip agents) and they said a golf gti 150 would be taken up to 191?

Nathan, i will pm you with mob number.

Remap only cost Me £246.What price can you get it for(trade)?

Clear codes today if I've time, then its booked in for Tuesday.Fingers crossed.

Insult to injury, IT FAILED THE MOT.

New front brakes needed, disks, pads and hoses.And illegal number plates

Pick it up later,with the bill.

nice looking car there Mr Bailey!!! back on iow for leave now, but meeting up with Kris at E38, well just before it at a shell garage, you following him up?

 Tidy like been said im happy you changed the exhaust it was terrible!

 Chears guys.

Fez, Yes going to Edition38, we have booked rooms in the very local hotel(no sh1ty porta-potty for me.

Me following Kris, no way. I'll be lost long before that.

As for the car, no fault codes, none. fingers crosed for tuesday.

hotel eh!!! well if the camping get too bad, i'l be sleep in you bath . see you up there mate.

 Well i've got my car back, after another couple of days in a garage.

The RK guys Si & Jer sorted it out again.

The cars now producing 192.7BHP - 226.5lbft, the boost is maxed out thaks to the Adjustable Actuator(might reduce boost).The main problem is that K03 turbos suck.

But apart from wastegate problems, WOW re-maps rule.
