    Facelift Upgrades or jump ship?

    Cheers mate. Is this the same process for the DIY mod? What intakes would you reccomend if I were to go the upgrade route instead? (also does this mod still need doing even with an upgrade?) Is MRC an alternative to Revo/APR? Thanks again

    Facelift Upgrades or jump ship?

    Also I noticed on the Revo website, under the performance pack, it looks like they do offer a TCU tune also https://www.onlyrevo.com/product-details/performance-pack/mqb-20tsi-is38-performance-pack&engineid=308

    Facelift Upgrades or jump ship?

    Thanks man. It’s a shame my usual garage is Revo only. I got a quote from the nearest APR garage and got the following, do you think this seems a bit steep? APR stage 1 remap £761.14 APR DSG (TCU) tune is £792 Dyno Test £108

    Facelift Upgrades or jump ship?

    Thanks JM13, that's kinda what I was hoping to hear! I was aware of Stage 1 ECU (my garage does Revo) but I didn't know about the TCU tune, can you tell me a little more? Also did you upgrade any parts for this and how did it affect your insurance? Thanks

    Facelift Upgrades or jump ship?

    I've had my 2017 8V (auto) for over a year now and I'm starting to get the upgrade itch (I am a nightmare.) I have loved every minute of this car, it's probably the best I've ever had, but I'm almost at the point where it's starting to feel, dare I say it, a little boring ..maybe thats a bit...

    Anyone running Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5's?

    Makes sense to go with the 5's especially based on that video review above @FR4NC15 I'd like to know how the 5's (or 3's for that matter) compare to Pilot Sport 4's (18") if anyone has experience both?

    I spotted that Revo offer this hose and airbox lid kit, but considering the hose on its own is only £180 would I be right in thinking that you're essentially paying an additional £120 here for the lid that has zero performance gain over stock.. just looks a little nicer...

    Audi S3 PFL vs Mercedes A35 AMG

    Same here! I did'nt 'hate' it, but.. not exactly a memorable car. My FL is worlds apart!

    Genuine or Aftermarket Discs & Pads?

    Interest peaked! How do you find this setup compares to stock?

    Stage 1 advice

    Thanks Mike, and @Leevr appreciate all the advice. Just out of curiosity did you guys declare the remap and/or hardware mods to your insurers? and if so was the price hike significant?

    Stage 1 advice

    Have they given you any indication of what to expect in terms of figures? How much was the Stage 1 alone if you dont mind me asking?

    Stage 1 advice

    So from what I can see Revo have a 'Turbo Inlet Hose' and also a 'MQB Air Intake'. Am I right in thinking that the hose is a straight swap and works with the stock box (same as the Turbo Technics one?) and the MQB system is a full replacement for the whole thing?

    Stage 1 advice

    I have both APR and Revo available to me locally. Revo is offered my trusted mechanics hence why I'm looking at that. What is it that you find better with APR if you dont mind me asking? Revo Stage 1 is listed as as £600 on their site, what did the stage 1 with APR set you back? Thanks

    Stage 1 advice

    Cheers Mike. Do you recommend this over the Revo offering? What are my intake options and does this go hand in hand with the hose upgrade? (Excuse my lack of knowledge here)

    I am extremely jealous of both your house and home cinema (and where you live!) nice. That's how you do it! I helped my cousin move last year from his Nashville loft (an old Marathon motors building) to the desert, we drove 2000 miles and I had the time of my life. If it wasn't so difficult to...

    Thanks Mike, would you say that was essential for stage 1? Could you link me to the parts? Thanks

    Ouch. I totally see your point, but I don't plan on spending more than £1k so hopefully the depreciation when I come to sell it won't be as painful! Nice car by the way, big Mustang fan.. Well the engine and exteriors that is, sat in a 2018 Mustang the other day and wow was that a lot of...

    Haha, well I did consider it but there isn't much that I would consider switching to, at least not what I can afford right now, so getting a little more out of this might be the cheaper more 'sensible' option. An M2 Competition would probably do it, but that thing ain't cheap! And to be honest...
