That is very cool, is it difficult to do with just a standard Vag-com cable ?

i've upgraded my exhaust in my Mk4 GTi to a magnaflow exhaust and upgraded the stock down pipe to a custom 3" down pipe with a highflow cat! so the full turbo back exhaust! it sometimes lets off a massive back fire from gear 1 going to 2, is that a bad thing?

mine did that the first few weeks, now it doesnt do it anymore.. maybe needs to settle in

looks good

how big are the tips? 2.5 inch?

Looks tough - the exhaust section before the muffler looks small! Is that just the angle of the photo?

You need Vagtacho I think it's called not Vagcom, it allows you to download the cluster Eprom and edit it with a hex editor, Graeme86 is the one to talk to for the details I'm just lucky enough to have him as a neighbour so get the benefit of all the great mods he does to his R.

Not sure if it is just the R, I think it is pretty much all VAG cars with a certain build of cluster and anything later, again check with graeme86 he can point you in the direction of all the info, there are dedicated forums for it.
