Love it. Looking clean, driving mean.

Looking good Lucas. Such a sleeper

Love it. Looking clean, driving mean.

Cheers guys - my aim is to keep it a sleeper but being as tidy as possible to not attract attention.

Last week i installed:

- H and R lowered springs (20mm drop)
- Autotech HPFP internals
- RS4 fuel rail valve
- THS style intercooler
- DNA Tuning stage III tune

Installed everything myself over the course of a few evenings last week. Car goes like a little rocket now.






New Intercooler Kit:













Some pictures from the install – showing the fitment etc:

Any photos of decreased height? I reckon it would be sitting about perfect now.

Looking forward to an acceleration video too

The ride height has dropped 15mm already and will no doubt drop a few more mm over another few weeks. It doesnt really look "lowered" like some JDM thing, but has reduced the wheel gap nicely.

Will load up some pics in a few days once they have settled a bit.

Looking forward to an acceleration video too

Once ive done some logging on the revised tune, and make sure everything is running as it should, ill do some more acceleration vids Ryan. Will also be getting it dyno'd soon to see how its improved from my previous result of 204kw/354nm that i got earlier this year.

Ive been eyeing that intercooler kit for a while. Be interested to see the logs. Alot of haters out there but none have ever owned one so go figure!

Looks good mate, looking forward to the results.

I enjoy it actually. I've always done my own maintenance and modifications to my cars (within reason of course as im not a professional). I only take it to a workshop if there is something i cant do myself.

Go for it. The intercooler is a winner and its a bargain too. Its a direct replica of the THS cooler (probably made in the same factory anyway). I'll do some temp logs over the next week or two.

Nice rack of mods going on in here!

Is the Golf R intercooler the same as the Audi S3 one? Probably a few GTI or 118TSI owners out there who would like to upgrade.
