1 piece downpipe i should have got it done when doing catback. Thought it was a bad idea at the time i dont like the idea of fitting any boxes back on. But on the other hand dont want the car to sound awful catch 22 situation Have you done any mods to your car?

They give a few more mpg and better flow. Turbo whistle will be louder. Obviously there is the new MOT obligation. What bore is your custom s/s and how many boxes does it have ? The ones on the market seem to be only 2" when stock is 2.25" . There is one on the market that does resemble a...

thinking of doing a decat on b5.5 130bhp. I already have a remap and s/s catback exhaust fitted there is a nice rasp and booooo But im kind getting board with it and want a decat. Just wondering did anyone have any good or bad experience with it does it kill turbos because of the faster spooling and...

I just can't stand Passats Holophyte if that is the case why do you spend so much time on this site? We don't really need comments like the one I originally quoted, the site is for people who have a Passat, like them, and are prepared to help others. Completely agree water01 well said couldnt have ...

Would respray bonnet back to original colour, get lowered, some bigger wheels just my opinion. But as you said its different and thats good mint condition aswell

Lost count of how many times iv seen idiots doing this in 27 yrs driving for a living and in my experience more focus drivers are fools than any other type of car. Next time you go out watch the focus drivers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I think its a hard call them nissan micra drivers can ...

I just fitted 19" vmrs 9.5 all round 225/35s on front 235/35s on rear on my b5.5 with no issues and its lowered 55mm all round only thing you will need is 5mm spacers on front for suspension clearance and your good to go

such an idiot. 12 month ban what a joke should be at the least 2 years then beat with a stick and then driving school 6 months. Then send that footage to every insurance company in the UK. He wouldnt be safe on a bicycle never mind a car even if it is a ford focus

thats what i mean about sitting slightly higher on rear 55mm alround

Where abouts in the north east are you ? I used big fish tuning there were more then happy to answer any questions & even did a egr delete & added launch control for no extra charge :) Its in stokesley they also have a very good reputation & more then happy to help , there also on faceb...

Really struggling to find out why my brothers passat won't start, on Friday on his way to work the car began to misfire and judder with the engine management light coming on telling him to stop, like an idiot he thought it was the oil warning and put way to much oil in and carried on home. He manag...

Before remap i was lucky to get up to 50 miles to 10 euro now im getting over 75 miles to 10 euro diesel fact thats with topaz fuel only.

Spent all morning washing and polishing my passat some detail work aswell. Weather said no rain till Tuesday just sunshine happy days Just looked and guess what its raining fluff my life I love ireland

Good start here :) Personally id go for the 55/40 kit if your considering lowering. Im still yet to get wind reflectors I must get them ordered :) Ya my cars is lowered 55mm all round and sits slightly higher on rear. They are front heavy so im gonna go 60mm on rear that will sort it. But if you do...

yeah i have read many build threads and once people start to run out of ideas they seem to stop but tbh this is my first i have been able to spend real cash on so ( ok little things so far) but i am catching the bug and with it being a deisel engine i will run it into the scrap yard in the sky caus...

As above forum sponsor CCC Technology. Their Upsolute generic maps are good enough, no need for custom. Your car has to be running right, but Simon checks for codes and turbo operation aswel . In reality if you are achieving good mpg now it isn't suddenly going to improve by 10 mpg . It's the best ...
