Wheels all refurbished in OEM colour with new PS4S tyres fitted. First impressions is that the grip extremely well with great feedback.

Next up a trip to MRC in April / May.

Totally agree on the PS4S......even better than the Pilot Supersports I had before them.

Small update....

One of the rear DRCs started leaking so had it all stripped out with some B14s in place.

An intermittent EPC light indicated it was time for a full carbon clean along with some investigation work whilst the manifold was off.

Some play in the manifold flaps rail was the reason so decided to have it de-flapped at the same time along with replacing a could of perished pipes under the manifold.

Picking her up on Monday from CJ Mechanical then a short drive down the road to MRC for a stage 2 map.

As you can see from the photos, a long long time since it was last carbon cleaned.

Your build up was pretty bad there and is much better now. Good work.

I assume you can feel a big difference in driving too.

I'm tempted by the Resonator delete mod. Is there really no drone?, even between 1-2k RPM?

Yes, can feel a massive difference in response and overall power. It made 429.2bhp on the dyno at MRC on Stage 2 which I am extremely happy with.

As for the resonator delete, minimal drone at low revs. For the cost compared to a Milltek it’s a no brainier really.

Really useful info here for B7 owners.

I've umm'd and arr'd about the resonator delete for ages. I think I just need to get on with it and do it!
