hi Guys,

I'm new to the forum so please be gentle!

My R Reg 3 Door GTi is having an RS2000 engine/gearbox conversion done by JD Motorsport in Carlise in the next couple of weeks (booked for next month) but im looking at further modifications..as you do!

Engine wise it has a nice exhaust system and pipercross cone filter with no cold air feed.

I have been doing my reading and it seems that due to the hot engines its better to leave the engine running standard air box but with uprated panel filter and cold air feed....Does anyone have any more information/pics on this?

Also i would like to improve on the rs2000 lump going in and i notice many people using throttle bodies....i have no idea what this upgrade will give me nor how much it will cost...Does anybody have information on this too please?

Last of all....doing the conversion seems pretty straight forward but apart from the fact i'm going to need a rear disk set up from an rs what else am i missing if anything? not to get the look of an rs but performance,safety, handling wise

Many Thanks Guys
Chris
