Do you think you can ship one to New Zealand for me? would the price be the same? (I am in Auckland, post code 0626)

Thanks!

i checked with another courier service and said it was possible! never sent things to NZ before, so no idea on time and money.

i will pop in to post office ...

Factory VW/AUDI supplied spark plugs for Polo GTIs are NGK Platinums. I heard that buying OEM actually ends up being more expensive. Just replaced mine yesterday after 52000km / 5 years.

Jeff, I have to also say that It's Stage 2 REVO that kills the economy. I used to get average 8.2-9.0litres / 100km. My average now sits at around 10litres / 100km and can be worse in city. This is with REVO 2.

It's called tramping isn't it?
it's nothing to do with ESP... usually happens with front wheel drive with soft engine / gearbox mount I think...

You have some awesome cars there! I love the Polo with the Cup body kit.

I am keen on your Miltek and have pmed you. Please get back to me, so hard to source anything down in New Zealand.

Thanks!

Try with the air conditioning on in middle of summer, waiting at the traffic light. You won't like it much then. I would strongly advise 'street version'.
Congrats on REVO. I love it, but I think it's false advertisement that their trial turns off after 5 hours. Their trial cripples our cars after 5 ...

Good idea, problem with trial tune is that I heard - that they may not go back to exact 'stock tune' it was - and more going to 'stock tune' by REVO. That's what I heard.

APR mount will also improve your gear shift feel - and will feel more direct. Go with street racing version, not the hard core ...

if you are going down with REVO tune, then it's 50 pound extra upgrade, and you are not doing things twice doubling up the cost.
All the things I have mentioned is adding towards stage 2. You will not be doing same thing twice.

Its a worth while upgrade. Do it.
They do go wear and tear.

You don't need FMIC to get to that power. FMIC may net you around 5-8hp, but main aim is to keep the car cool to produce the same performance again and again - which may be beneficial if your area can be very hot during summer.

Go with down pipe 3" (no need to go all the way back, unless you like ...

kc it would be worth while monitoring your boost - as Forge intercoolers have known to cause 'loss in boost' compared to stock intercoolers - producing less power than actual stock form. Although heat soak is largely reduced by Forge (which normally produces excellent products) - there have been ...

Have you guys not received dyno chart with boost as well? AFR / boost - you probably want to see those too.
Otherwise - you can do rolling test on each others car with VAGCOM and measured the block data.

Can't believe you guys don't have a boost gauge in your cars!! First thing to look for if you ...

I have had Stage 2 REVO since May this year. I haven't had a chance to get it dynoed yet....

The settings as far as I know on REVOs are
1) boost
2) timing
3) fuel

I think my setup is currently boost 8, timing 7, fueling 9.

My fuel consumption from Stage 1 REVO (which was around 27MPG on average ...

thanks or the comments, happy to help :wink:

but, you're not going to upgrade the suspension?
if you are going over 200Hp it becomes a must, the car is going to need the stiffness to drive good and stable.
stock suspension is to much set for comfort and hangs over to much in corners, and at ...
