Well for 1k you would struggle to get a Milltek TBE so i would just get a stage 1 map then decide from there.

as blade says map it, then either save the rest for fuel and tires after the map, or raise a bit more capital and get a DP and Intake. Not spent that much for stage 2 plus spec really compared to others, but everything car wise its cost me a small fortune.

Hiya mate, your car looks awesome good job on the mods - Im not sure about the black myself would of left it how it was but its nice to be unique and look different though

New Plugs

NGK IRIDIUM IX spark plugs - BKR7EIX, One step colder than stock.

Condition of the old plugs after 9000miles/9 months

Old vs New

I really thought the car ran better at idle and picked up better off the throttle at low revs when i fitted the cooler plugs - let me know if you can tell

Blimey, £3500 for a chip, TBE, cooler, injectors and a naf looking intake.

Car is looking great mate! You should post a full spec list in your first post!

I think the wee lip above the exhaust would look cool white!

Like the bulbs mate, think i need to invest in them

terrible, surely it can be done (with possibly better parts) for cheaper than that... really shows how good/tuneable the 2.0 tfsi engine is.

I just traded in my bocanegra for an S3 so I'll be following this very closely!
How's the clutch holding up? Maybe you've uprated it and I've missed it or you don't need one yet!

Cheers mate, I might give the white lip a go once it stops raining.

BTW love the look of yours, what size are those alloys?

Still on the standard clutch mate, I bomb it everywhere so always in the sort of rev range that wont give the clutch too hard a life. Its the cruisers that get the clutch issues more often.
