    What's classed as a proper job?

    Anything reliable and +50% bhp is successful imo

    What till you see my 1.3T, you'll have to take back my signature

    100bhp/litre minimum and a good 30k from it No spacer plates, no water injection, no 5th injector crud, sensible intake temps and no screamer pipe

    has as your build been a pikey one?

    Decent management rather than manipulating the ecu into thinking the car is stone cold
