Will do mate,know it seems like a lot of hassle for a little bit,but im on my 3rd gti and by rule I prefer them left standard,but my 2nd ones previous owner I believe was member of the XR Owners club,under bonnet the only differences appeared (to the untrained eyes) to be an FSE valve,magnacor leads and a piperX filter and crank breather,and it had a catback stainless,however having owned 2 brilliantly kept standard ones,this one was significantly quicker than both and had a much better urgency in throttle response,honestly damn near changed the mind of a local man test-driving a 96 4x4 RS2000 on my local stretch! Think ive been left wanting for that extra poke back,not a racer as daughter is constantly with me,but got the escort bug and would be nice to have the smoother power gain that I once knew. thanks for the pointers and tips mate, greatly appreciated,will check out the link when im at a PC, shoddy mobile internet will throw a hissy if I ask anything of it!
