What have you done to your mk4 (golf/bora) today?

Just dropped of the R32 at V A garage to be super chipped! Can't wait to pick it up tomorrow.........

Nice, tell us if you notice and how you find the difference when you've had it done and been out for a blast mate.

Yesterday got my HPA competition Haldex controller put in. WOW simply amazing to drive now! Much better than before when I had front wheel drive (obviously) haha
It really feels like it wants to kick the rear out in tight corners and in others it just grips, goes and drives straight out of them no matter how much lock you have on! haha
Very pleased with the product and HPA provided really good service

Nice Jed. I was toying with a comp controller but managed to grab a blue one at a good price. But I do wonder if maybe the comp one might have been better ! one day maybe i'll grab one.

haha I'd say other than keeping the rears engaged during braking the difference would be unidentifiable between the two on public roads.
However having the rears engaged during braking is AWESOME! It makes the whole car super stable and you can brake a fair bit later due to that and the slight extra mechanical braking you get.
The car also responds to heel toeing better due to this
Great upgrade in my opinion Matt!

Including having it fitted it was about $1200 although I haven't received a bill from customs for import duty yet so we will see :S

Picked it up tonight and had a good blast and I like it! Throttle response is heaps better and no flat spot around the 3000/3500 revs.

1200 all up, unit, shipping and fitting ! thats alright.

If the price of the unit it self was less than a grand "aud" not including shipping charges then i don't think you will see a bill !
Where did you get it ? HPA ? who you get to fit it ?
