I am overwhelmed with the awesome comments!!! :ty:
Thanks bud!! I am very passionate about my cars...
Also thought of keeping her stock for a while, but she really needs more grunt since she is an AWD car. My modified pug was making 160wkw+ and that was FWD. This car is making about the same power on the wheels and the power loss cause of the AWD is causing that.
Bottom line is the torque steer made my Pug a very fun car. My pug made 350+nm on the wheels and my R is rated at 350nm on the flywheel stock. The Pug 'felt' faster cause of the amount of extra torque and torque steer from the FWD. But the R stock is faster! Can see it in the speedo.
So I did a basic Stage 2 with Intake and DP to get the excitement out. For now... Lol!
I am gonna do some basic cosmetics... Black roof, anthracite wheels, suspension...
As soon as I get bored with the Stage 2, it will be the quest for more power next! :joy:

I stopped by Shaheen's to load a revised file... Had a little visit from a twin!!
What a difference!!! Car is pulling so strong and holding boost so well with literally no timing pull! Big up to Shaheen and ETuners SA for the excellent service!
I will be taking her to the AWD dyno here in Bethlehem again to see the results soon. But for now here is a teaser video of how she pulls!
Also installed a Forge recirculating DV from FRC to replace the Revision H DV. I have always had more respect for these DVs.
My engine bay as it stands now... 2400kms mileage...
And I did another valet... Can't keep the car clean enough! Lol!
She really shines like a diamond now!
And my cabby with my better half...
A proud me next to my cab...

Thanks guys!! :ty:
Haha! I hardly drive the car in town bud. She has 400kms town driving mileage. The first trip was 500kms when I picked her up from Lindsay Saker and brought her home. The other was a 800km trip to Pretoria and back when I visited a friend and had the first mods done.
Then I planned a second trip to Shaheen for the revised file and DV upgrade. Another 700kms there and back. That all adds up to about 2000kms open road driving.
Unfortunately staying in Bethlehem has it's downsides... Far away from the tuners and stuff. But at least my mileage is all open road driving. Once I have her where I want her the mileage won't really climb...

Some more updates...
I installed some of the R8 FSI ignition coils
Some more pics of the car cleaned up again!
And I have returned to the same dyno to see approx how much gains I have achieved.
A video of the run... Sounds much louder and powerful now...
And the results... A gain of 48Kw and 83nM overall from an intake, DP and stage 2 file!
