    Even after what I said? Come on, doing it properly isnt that expensive at $649. I even pay for the postage both ways.

    listen to Gav mate. He's not talking Turkey when he tells you this stuff.

    The 1.8t has been done to death with getting good power out of them, there is the correct way thats been proven to work and be reliable and there is they way that will end badly. Don't head down the second path any further than you have

    Hey Clarkee, Gav is the man and helped me a lot in my conversion.
    My car isnt chipped yet, but heed the good advice here mate.

    You've come so far, make sure she stays in one piece.

    I've noticed that its a little laggy to start off with but it's only a little but it feels like its got more pull when you put your foot down. We used the factory pipe in the wheel arch and just added to it. It's 2 1/2 inch to the intercooler then 2 inch out to the intake so that we didn't loose pressure.. Works a treat
