I was put off by all the horror stories on the forums, and I’ve been on the spanners for 17 + years, and you’ve just settled me and I’m going for it. Very informative video. Thank you for this. Have subscribed 🙏🙏
I was as well mate, i was dreading it😂 i found as long as the 5mm allen key is seated well in the bolts you'll have no problems! I'm glad to hear its helped mate, thanks a lot! Much appreciated👍
Very professionally put together video, thanks. Just a tip for someone as I've recently changed my boost solenoid and couldn't for the life of me unclip the solenoid from the bracket, but it can be removed from above by removing wipers and scuttle panels. 👍 My problem was jerky acceleration and low boost which wasn't the solenoid in the end but the MAP sensor(cleaning it made no difference) changed 2 during 16years of ownership, info might help someone out.🙂
Defintely want a custom map but not sure who to go with yet, was planning on going to west yorkshire tuning but i've seen he won't do anything mechanical if something goes wrong or needs adjusting🤷♂️
Wait till you get it mapped mate and push past the 300 bhp mark becomes a different animal. Had a dual port recirc on mine and wish I went for a single port the flutter sounds mint on that 👌 I’ve since moved on to the RS tho so can’t complain 😂
Just found your channel after a good long while, looks like its coming on really well! Check out Yoda Racing and Paul Thompson, both done some great work with in-depth videos like yourself. Don't know how much of a techie you are, but Craig (Yoda Racing) has an issue we are trying to help him diagnose.

Thanks a lot, i appreciate it! I'll keep that in mind if i ever need to change mine👍
Another mega video bud keep them coming! Gotta do an actuator next that would be good to see.
Thanks a lot mate! Yeh thats on the list, got to do a downpipe and intercooler as well then its ready to be mapped 👍
@ellisjones3777 nice any idea which mapping route your going to take?

Have u looked into sabre tuning? They are very very good.
I have seen/heard them a lot yeh, might have to do a bit more research before i decide

I can't wait mate! Only got a few more mods to do then i'll get it mapped. I wish i could move on😂
Maybe AWD conversation down the line 👀👀😂
I would honestly love to! I'm just not sure how far i want to go yet😂
@@ellisjones3777 that’s my plan at some point but I do love the scrap it puts up in FWD 😂
I wish you luck mate!😂
How does it drive now? I've heard it gets back on boost sooner after each gear change.
It drives very well! Feels like it pulls strong and does get back on boost nicely
You live round the corner from me ive got an electric orange 🍊
Ah thats cool man! I'm sure i've seen you around👍
@ellisjones3777 more than likely 👍
