TB on your GTI should be too bad mate. Just watch what ecu they use on your car tho. Big brands like DTA etc will give you bigger gains than homemade things, I think the Ecosse price is good. Not sure what ecu it is tho. I easily spent that on parts alone when I did my 180

I'm not qualified! And even if I was half-qualified, I wouldn't want to blag a job like that where thousands of people's lives would be at risk! Fair play to you mate - respect!

I have a good bit of Engineering background and I know about the micron my friend  All I'm saying is you really earn your money and fair play to you - you deserve a bit of a treat from time to time, given your responsibility.
I like the sound of throttle bodies as well, the whine of a supercharger is an acquired taste!
But the dump valve on a big turbocharger is another thing entirely? I remember seeing the British Rally Championship in Clumber Park in 1990ish and when these monsters went past, the sonic boom shook me to the bone!
TURBOCHARGE IT! :D
