Working in a office only 2 miles from my house this week, mpg shot down to 27 average :lol:

Something about not getting a chance to warm up and sitting in traffic which the TSI hates.

Get out there and sort it mate!! You'll love it.
I'm still tempted to put one on my CR170...despite it being next to useless

I put an intake cone on my pd170 and it sounded naff. Does the p-flow sound different to a normal cone?

Haha cheers mate. I'm no mechanic, that's what's putting me off lol! It a hard job for your average joe? My handiwork is completely AVERAGE lol!!

honestly mate, it took me circa 20 minutes to fit mine. if you have no idea how to open the car bonnet, id still give it a bash and expect to take no more than an hour. just dont drop anything down the turbo when the pipes off!

small set of waterpump pliers to get the clips off - easiest way imo! and then go drive it! LOTS!
Windows up, radio off, throttle ON!

Oh, Also! try a full throttle and then release and quickly tap the pedal to get the chatter when going around.
or, very light throttle at low rpm.

Yeah theyre definately a step up from standard, I had to fit the crossover in the end, they sounded daft without it.

I spliced into the loom adaptor so they can go back to stock in future if needs be, iv disconnected the front tweeters too, but both back doors are still stock. Its a nice balance now, just need to play with front/rear fade to get the desired sound

Shnazzle, Tonto, the noise is ridiculous. I freakin love it! Was out for a good few hours last night playing about, the chatter is pretty cool. Going through the gears at full throttle, changing up at 4k revs sounds awesome :D

Fitting was easy too. A few fiddly moments with my big shovel hands but all good apart from that!

TimJohnson, I was the same mate, couldn't decide what to do first. I'm going Induction, decat and then a map. Then ill sort the suspension out. Then I'll go for full exhaust, HPFP and intercooler and stage 2+. Oh and a clutch and flywheel upgrade.

Couldn't be happier with Awesome GTI though, really helpful and quick delivery.
