Facelift Tailgate/Boot Fitted
Hey guys so Ive fitted the tailgate, not the best to do, wires are different and I still need to change a few bits over, I am aware that it does not line up right at the moment but I have not taken great care in lining it up as the boot will be removed again soon to be sprayed along with other parts. This is just been fitted as a temporary fix as my glass in the boot was smashed. I thought instead of getting the glass replaced I would go for a facelift tailgate.
any questions please do ask
see photos below

Parrot Asteroid Smart Fitted
Ok, fitted My Parrot Asteroid Smart a while back, Such a great bit of kit and would recommend it to anyone, Its a double din unit with loads of functions and features including, voice recognition, sat nav, iPod and IPad compatible, Reverse camera ready and many other apps you can download.
Was a pain to fit, having to route wires to the handbrake for the use of apps and also routing a wire and camera to the rear of the car so the reverse camera is ready to go when I install it.
Have a look at the photos below for thoughts

Revo stage 1 remapped
And The Main and best mod I have done was at GTI International, I couldn't resist knowing it was 20% off, Although it was still expensive, I got My car Remapped with A REVO Stage 1 bringing it up to 240bhp
it was also done by LVS Racing. What a Great bunch of guys all very welcoming and helpful. Unlike most of the other remapping stands at the show.
When I first drove the car away I wasn't happy with the way the car drove at all, It felt practically the same, so a few day later I called Patrick at LVS who was very helpful. After a long discussion I was instructed to change the diverter valve which I'm now fully aware of it being a common fault with the TFSI engine.
Heres a couple shot of the new and old diverter valve
So after changing that I was amazed with the gains and couldn't believe that valve with minor splits in the diaphragm could make such a huge difference. I also at the time fitted My forge dump valve spacer which I have now removed as I personally think it sounds ridiculous. Even under very light throttle then letting of the thing would still make a very loud hiss,So decided to remove it which is what I did today.
So overall Very Happy with the gain and how it drives now, I have even notice the fuel economy is a tad better too.
