I got my vinyl from a guy who does body wraping I think it's the Di-noc stuff.
All the carbon in the engine bay is real carbon not vinyl.

Judgement day

Today was the day to find out if my bargain Forge front mount was working, this was also the first rolling road session the car had done since having the cat back miltek exhaust fitted.
I have mixed emotions about the results, BHP was as I expected and the log's we did on Vag-Com were right it ran 270.1BHP, but the torque was down on what I was expecting, it ran 261.7 LB/FT, this is mainly down to the fact that the map needs adjusting to suit the bigger intercooler.

However the line's are very smooth and the torque is held a lot longer than before.

I now have to decide what route to take, to get the most from the FMIC I need to go to stage 2 (which I didn't want to do) and to do that I should really change the down pipe and cats :think:
