My Golf 5 GTI is now an absolute joy to drive. The car is really strong and stable on the road. I started noticing that some times the car has a bit of lag on the turbo spool up. For a regular person, this would not be a problem but for me, it needs to […]
With the Golf 5 GTI being so strong, driving the car just becomes so much more fun. The problem comes in that you get comfortable with the power the car delivers and you start pushing it harder and harder. You want to see what the car will do in the corners. How fast can you […]
I have heard people talk about watermeth or water-methanol injection on performance cars. I have never been a fan of it. It was just another tank that you need to keep your eye on. Keeping your eye on your petrol tank gauge was bad enough. Doing some spirited driving you can go through a tank […]
So the next Monday morning after I did the carbon clean and the turbo install I drove through to the tuner. The car drove pretty much the same with the KO4 turbo. I couldn’t notice anything different. I was starting to think I may have a bigger expectation for KO4 conversion that what I was […]

The Golf has been a dream to drive. If you start to do mods on a car it almost becomes like an addiction. It is not about showing off in front of friends that drive it. The extra power that is at your disposal is the drive behind it. In this case, it wasn’t all […]
