Oh look, it actually moves! Seems to be behaving itself at the minute too, which is nice. Made some heavy handed modifications to my throttle travel which have completely changed the way it drives, just need to get used to the slightly higher throttle pedal now
Yeah yeah, boring video, but for the odd moment of full chat it sounds like Darth Vader orgasming, which is nice.

nice.
glad you posted this as the blow off(!) type noise you get when coming off full throttle/boost is what I am hearing on mine down the lanes today...first day with all windows down doing some Broad munching...
assume you aint gota dumper? so I assume its just realising pressure through the turbo vanes?!...hence the lovery 'wahpoosh'?!

Yeah Tom, it's nice being able to drive it pretty much like a petrol. Was weird getting used to the DT ratios after driving the GTi for two years but this just feels nippy round town

Loving your centre console. One thing I have been meaning to ask you: What does the 'Megusta' switch do?
NB. I am expecting big things here..

It gives me a banana while feeding me spicy pizza and cider.

Eh, not too bad tbh. Torque steers like a bitch but actual normal driving is ok, turned out I had a p-bush working it's way loose that caused the dodgy handling.

Is this so?! Where do I buy said megusta switch from? Does it come pre-loaded with spicy pizza, cider and reacharounds?

That is mildly disappointing. I suppose these things come at a cost though...
