Thanks guys!
Next, the chip tune...thinking probably APR stage 1 at this stage, unless something else comes up or my ECU isn't suitable.

Takes the 1.8 TSI up to 141 kw & 306 nm apparently, which sounds nice...

I like that idea, but you need to be sure that your transmission can cope with the increased torque (the DSG7 can't handle as much as the DSG6, IIRC). An informed tuner should know about this and be able to tweak things accordingly.

Edit: VW spec the DQ200 DSG on cars with under 250 nm torque and use other DSGs for higher torque engines. http://www.volkswagenag.com/content/...speed_dsg.html

Looks great!

I like the wheels because they look classy and give it a kind of 'enhanced OEM' look.

Agreed^

your car looks fantastic Makk!

OK thanks, I'll ask about that...a DSG is a terrible thing to waste
