If you don't mind me asking how much are they charging you for all that?

You should get 10% or more discount on a stage 2 if you buy a milltek exhaust.

Definitely get the crank case breather changed. I had the same work carried out on mine, and it ran really bad as soon as I got it back. Took a while to find out what it was... it is recommended to change it if the manifold is disturbed as they can get a hairline crack as the plastic is brittle.

IMO the cold air feed is massively overpriced, and you can do it yourself and a much nicer job too. Mine was butchered in with what looked to be a bread knife and a poor fitting bolt, and a but of pipe that looked like it had been cut with a hacksaw. You can purchase a nice piece of pipe with a flanged end attachment for about £10 off eBay and looks and fits a whole lot better.

Thats great advice thank you, i will look in to that. i asked about a cold air feed and they said that it can cause MAF issues ? Many thanks

When you finally got yours sorted were you happy with the performance and sound ?

Yeah, it goes really well. I still think that the difference from sport throttle control to normal is too extreme, but the map is good in sport mode. I have just puechased the reaonated centre boxes for my milltek though which are being fitted tomorrow, as the drone is killing me

Normally between 1500 and 2300 rpm, which is right at cruising speed in lower speed areas, so i often find myself shifting a gear when not really necessary.

I can let you know the difference tomorrow once the centre sections have been fitted..
