This post is my personal opinion only so :middlefinger:

OK guys! Heres the review for the following parts:

BSH Intake
BSH Engine Mount
BSH V-Twin Boost Tap
Eurojet DV Re-Route Kit
Eurojet Throttle Pipe
Eurojet Engine Ampification Pipe

After months of waiting, hours of swapping parts, and frustrations... The upgrade is finally completed! The whole process took so long I was thinking was it even worth it! But after the long driving tonight, I can say it is all worth it! So this is the review in short!




OK now to the long review (reading this part is optional - WARNING might bored you to death or might cost you a dent in your wallet, result might vary read at your own risk ):headbang:

When I first drove im like where did the boost go? My car feels like a solid NA engine! The power delivery comes so smooth that i feel the car is slower! No more feeling of that slight turbo-lag! Its GONE, I believe this is the benefit of the larger Eurojet Throttle Pipe which has lets bend and no reduce size in the middle of the pipe! The throttle response is like NA now! Crazy!

Second thing I felt was the change of the front end of the whole car! It came together as one piece handling seems much more stable as well! While I was doing the mountain pass lift throttle brake throttle brake felt the biggest difference! No more play in between, the car is much more controlled! I thought ppl was BSing about the engine mount! IT WORKS... yes you may feel more of the engine or the transmission but I liked it! I can even feel the brake pad movement when it clicked on reverse which I have never felt before on this car! Oops almost forgot! after flooring so many times on S gear especially going up hill wheel hop problem seems to have reduceds significantly

Then the third thing is my turbo boost reading showed on my Defi boost gauge! The peak shows about 1.25bar! DOESNT EVEN HIT 1.3bar! GOOD NEWS No more stupid boost spike! before with the Forge DV my Defi shows almost 1.4bar! My Unitronic Stage 1+ chip requests 18PSI which is about 1.24105631Bar, so with the Eurojet DV reroute kit solved my boost spike problem! It open and closes much faster than my Forge DV, sounds much cooler too like a proper big turbo wastegate sound! WOOOOSH ! I have set my Defi peak warning to 1.3bar and it has never beeped once tonight! (reminder my Defi doesnt rest at zero when its off! it rests slightly above zero due to defact product from TopRacing) So the whole night I have been using mixed shifting modes D, +- Manual, and S mode flooring here and there redlining... Nope didnt hit 1.3bar! No more Boost Spike!

So as a whole I feel that my car now is much more controllable than stock even its chipped! Smoother power delivery and better ride and handling than stock with all the mods I have done (read my signature for the complete mod list) So I think I will take a break on the modding with this car and focus on my other project And also just enjoy driving and maxing out the car as often as I could!




And finally!

Thanks to :bow:Shane at http://www.monstergarage.com.hk/ who had help me throughout the whole process!

Because theres a slight difference with the fitment on my RHD Euro GTI vs LHD USDM GTI... Theres a brake fluid reservoir right there, therefore the Eurojet silicone jose adapter wont work... What I could of done was weld in a adapter to the VF Intake but I didnt want to modify a brand new intake I just got... so I sold it to a friend and got the BSH intake...

I wont say its easy but its not hard Since I have a RHD its slightly different here and there ... So installation difficulty is not relevant to USDM LHD GTI

Anyone know the screw size for the Eurojet Heatshield? My stock engine bolt is too thick to fit through the headshield hole

What does the EJ DV relocation kit include? did you buy BSH boost tap, since the kit does not include?
Thanks.
