Ok, so most of the exterior mods have been done to my car now, I have my 312mm brakes to go on and will be looking to put on a rear arb in the future ready for when I get my car remapped. What I'm hoping to do in the meantime is create the cleanest intake possible for my engine.
For info, my current set up:
PD150
Standard airbox w/paper filter
3" custom cold air feed
Cleaned EGR (with plugged vac line, soon to be vag-com'd to minimum)
New upper and lower intercooler-intake hoses with new clips.
Now I notice the intake manifold is caked in the same crud as my EGR was so hoping to get this off and cleaned up at some point. I'm interested in what people think of catch cans, best intake filter set ups and the best way to clean out the intercooler & boost hoses as mine seem pretty oiled up from when I've messed around with them.
Also, is it worth doing the EGR delete or am I better to keep it clean, set it to minimum and retain the ASV? I've heard these are rarely a problem when removed from VAG engines but I'm still unsure.
Cheers
