Ok... long time up dating this.
First thing little catch up on the charger it self.
The kit is still going strong (touch wood) makes the car a real animal,

The brakes i ordered from vagbremtechnic are the best discs i have had up to date. They are running with ds2500 pads, installed them on the car bedded them in an done! No problems at all an they STOP!
Also fitted the extra cooling ducts behind the discs so these help also.
Also changed the cold air feed and modified the air, dont think i can get a bigger 1 in now lol.

Now..
The meths kit.
I installed the whole kit my self and its not to bad of a job to be honest, striping the car with out damaging anything is the hard part.
I am running 50/50 mix
Not done any real testing as such just yet but on the road/motorway flat out i think i can tell a small difference,
But it dose need fine adjustments and maybe mapping in to get full potential out of it,
But i don't know where i stand with that if i run out while out in the car. We will see.

I fitted the kit in a weekend, done a few little that i think make it better/safer.
Ill be honest i have not done any “real” testing as of yet but i think i can tell a difference at high rpm/higher speed.
Going in to the end of 3rd and pulling through 4th i think its noticeable. It doesn't kick in untill 6-7psi then flat out at 14psi.
Big flames though :thumbs: :FIREdevil:
