The boost is acting on the bottom of the piston in the DV when reversed and not the side! The N249 bypass has made it react a little quicker too....

Yeh it reacts miles quicker now, but mine is a diaphragm, just hope it doesnt knack it :p

cheers for the help mate, appreciate it!

Really need to get myself sorted and do this i have a spare piece of vacum hose lying around aswell! Seems worth it

Does seem worth it! What exactly do i need to order in terms of vacuum hose? Just some 4mm vacuum hose from forge or something?

Dropped my car off just before top gear with the coilovers in the boot :D should pick it up similar time tomorrow and it should be a good chunk lower! Cant actually wait! Got a mk4 gti 20vt golf as a courtesy car, completely 100% standard but its got a stage 1 map, its been mapped by the bloke that will be doing mine once all the mods are on and even driving the golf makes me dead excited for when mine finally gets mapped! Just waiting on the parts from awesome and game on :D

Tell me about it mate when it comes to electrics im hopeless :lol: the other gauge is an oil temp gauge mate. MrNorma on here fitted them for me but they seem real easy to fit all you do is run a t-piece in between the hose coming out of turbo going to inlet manifold then run it through the bulkhead and into the gauge! Oil just goes on top of the oil filter its pretty easy man but the wires just confuse me so much :(

Bought some gunsmoke film this time, will do the headlights in a light gunsmoke eventually too, think the dark one I'll be using to do the fogs will look abit too dark. Just want the front to look mega aggressive haha

Yeh he's good Alex, he's always looked after the fr and done a great job :) fitted all my coilies and new top mounts and bearings, greased up hinges and gave the car a good check over etc and put a tenners vpower in it for 140 quid and he leant me the golf so pleased with that. Said the car is spot on but could do with new front disks soon.

Al it's done just over 32k, it's the bottom of one of the springs that's snapped, only about the last inch or so where the perch is. Looks like it's had a new spring on the drivers side recently too as it's cleaner and still got the sticker on haha

Car looks and drives fantastic now! Mega in love!
