Well for 1k you would struggle to get a Milltek TBE so i would just get a stage 1 map then decide from there.
 
Hows the car mate, stuff sorted??

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.

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

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
 
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.
 
Where did you source the tyres mate? I cant find them for less than £200 each at the moment.
