New Owner, MK5 Golf GTI pirelli

[sLaDe]

Hey all just settled on my new (to me) black mk5 golf gti pirelli, few little quirks in need of attention taking it to volkspower, melbourne for a full shake down ASAP.

loving it so far, dsg seems A1, engine a little 'raspy' under accel and at a steady speed when rpm up a bit (being held back a gear).

amazing how different the ride is to a "stock" mk5 gti.

this forum has a lot of helpful people on it am glad to have stumbled on it. cheers

You have got to get a tune.

The car is really retuned and is so much quicker after a good tune

Nice pickup mate!

Drop me a PM if you need a hand with anything.

with the pirelli you have the advantage of the factory k04, so make use of it! You'll have a lot of fun with the car no doubt

ok so update, after inspecting it I can say for sure it has a few mods, it has a GFB DV+ Diverter valve, i think relocated, right up front of the engine between grille and engine cover, tidy install, looks factory. missed it on several inspections. it also has a tune of some sort and well, a mate that works for VW said its faster than any gti he's ever seen and made comment about the BOV noise, which I had no idea was not stock (never owned a dub before)

While this is cool I hope the thing has not been thrashed too much and am having a much more in depth look at everything asap.

edit- and im in love with the interior of these things

The Pirelli has a K04 Diverter Valve relocation, it hasn't been moved. GFB's also don't have a "BOV noise" they recirculate.

Got any pictures of this thing? If it's been serviced by Volkspower they've most likely goaded the owner into getting a Tune, they generally do that. The Pirelli is really easy to get power out of as well due to having a bigger Turbo and stronger internals than the regular GTI.
