Hi everyone,
Long time reader, 1st time posting.

Here goes. I’ve had my Mk7.5 for about 8-9months. It’s a white Special Edition DSG, 213kW (Australian) with the performance ventilated front brakes and Akrapovic exhaust with all the options ticked. My understanding is there’s only 400 SE’s in Oz. I absolutely love this car and have been bitten by the upgrade bug. I’ve come from an AMG, the stock R was good but not great so I’ve started my journey. I want to give a big shout out to all the contributing members as it’s been so very helpful reading through others stories, upgrades, issues etc etc.

Upgrades so far:
034 Res Delete
034 Billet Dogbone insert.
034 Billet + spherical dogbone mount.
034 Dynamic Lowering springs.
034 Rear sway bar.
034 Rear spherical sway bar links.
034 Density line engine and transmission mounts.
034 Turbo muffler delete.
P3 Gauges digital gauge.
CTS Turbo inlet.
GFB DVX Diverter Valve
APR Stage 1 high torque tune.
VW TCR rear spoiler.

On the way:
Wagner Tuning competition intercooler. (This weekends project.
Rally Armor mud flaps Black/Grey (On backorder).

I’ve done all the upgrades myself (except the APR tune). With the help of these forums and YouTube it’s been a really enjoyable process. I’m good with tools but have never really worked on cars except for basic servicing in my younger years. I’d be happy to answer any questions anyone has about my upgrades. I haven’t had the car on a dyno but have done a few launches and timed them with the P3 gauge. Best time for 0-100 is 3.59 seconds which I’m very happy with considering it’s only stage 1. Warmer weather, it drops to 3.8. Being as where I live gets very hot in summer the new intercooler should bring some nice benefits. I’ve researched my parts in depth and am a very happy camper with the decisions so far. I hope you guys and gals enjoy the pics.

Cheers,
Mitch
