dont think there is any actual difference in performance, but more air into an engine is always good :banana:
next I ordered an EONON G2216 gps unit. it was cheap....and so it feels cheap and looks cheap and came with the most pathetic mounting hardware ever invented!!! I am probably going to send it back and get something else. Maybe the D5101 as posted in a different thread. Fits MUCH better and comes with a proper mounting bracket..this one even if mounted properly would still have a gap all the way around....
the gap

the mounting hardware!!! 2 L shape brackets and 4 screws, thats it.

and since it has a detachable screen the whole thing doesnt sit flush and looks really out of place....
will keep you guys posted as to what happens with this.
lastly I got a package from Orange tunning...

35mm lowered H&R springs all for $215 landed! (thank you awesome exchange rate)

I installed them last night with a mate and the fronts are a prick of a job.....rears took literally 5 minutes
end result

I cant believe that the ride is pretty much the same as before. very happy!
and thats it for now....
cheers
Nice one! I've also got a red 08' GTI so it's very interesting to see how yours turns out compared to mine.
