VW New Scirocco Offerings

Check out these latest performance mods for the new VW Scirocco from Awesome-gti.co.uk,

Neuspeed P-Flo Kit TSI 2.0 Scirocco/Golf 6 etc





Awesome Product Code: AF-IND-NEU-PF-TSI

"Would you ever run a marathon breathing out of a small paper bag? So why ask your engine to rev all the way to redline breathing through the restrictive factory airbox? The plastic factory airbox is good at muffling intake noise and enhancing low rpm/low speed engine performance, but becomes very restrictive when the engine is operating in the higher rpm range – where most performance drivers need it.

The NEUSPEED P-Flo allows you to uncork the intake side of your engine, drawing in a nearly unlimited supply of fresh air. Plus every P-Flo kit includes a high-performance, multi-layer cotton gauze air filter that is washable and reusable, and traps dirt better than your original paper filter. You also get a more agressive, deep throaty engine roar when you step on the gas pedal.

After months of development, NEUSPEED has determined that the only siginificant restriction in the OE intake is the airbox. As a result, MAF location and original intake tract remain the same.

Notes:This kit fits the newer 2.0 engines that do NOT utilize the engine cover as the air box.

Carbonio Intake Stage 1 2.0TSI





Awesome Product Code:
AF-IND-CARB-TSI


Carbonio's latest carbon fiber intake for the 2.0 TSI engine is a truly race engineered ram air design that is available for the first time as an affordable street car intake system. Building from years of experience on and off the race track, Carbonio's and APR's engineering teams have spent countless hours developing a true cold air and ram air carbon fiber design that can be recreated affordably for the street performance enthusiast.

Aftermarket performance companies have attempted to capitalize on these designs however the cost restraints have typically resulted in compromise and deviation from the true engineering principles associated with motorsport accomplishment. Don't be fooled by catch phrases and tag lines alluding to a new intake technology or special design characteristic. You won't see any of these gimmicks installed on race cars at the Nurburgring.

Carbonio and APR have gone even further to maintain all oem specifications necessary to integrate cohesively with an otherwise stock engine to avoid raising eyebrows at the dealership. Flexibility was another characteristic of Carbonio's and APR's design whereas the new TSI intake is also suitable for Stage 1 and Stage 2 modified engines all the way up to and beyond APR's Stage 3 Turbocharger System.

APR first unveiled Carbonio's TSI Intake System at SEMA 2008 in Volkswagen Group of America's Concept CC and Tiguan.

Benefits of the Carbonio CAI System include:

* Increased Horsepower and Torque
* Improved Throttle Response
* Decreased Turbo 'Lag'
* Flattened Torque Curve (engine is less 'peaky')
* Improved Fuel Economy
* Enhanced Engine Volumetric Efficiency
* Enhanced Sound of Turbo Diverter Valve
* Installs in an Hour (does not require bumper or headlight removal)
* Maintains Clean Appearance by Retaining Factory Engine Cover
* Maintains All Factory Emissions Components
* Fits Both Manual and Automatic Transmissions
* Unique Thermal Barrier Composite Construction Ensures Low Inlet Temperatures
* Fully Compatible and Complimentary with APR Software and Exhaust systems

Each Carbonio Kit Includes:

* Aerospace Grade Carbon Fiber Main Section
* Carbon Fiber Main Section Show Quality Finish
* Complete Photographic Instructions
* All Necessary Hardware Included for Easy Install without Cutting Or Modifying

2.0T CBFA engines require the Secondary Air Breather Filter listed as an optional extra

Milltek cat-back exhaust for Scirocco 2.0 TSI



Awesome Product Code:
MSVW259/263/325


Milltek engineers have had to call upon all of their many years of experience on this particular product to create a catalyst-back system that not only offers many of the features that you expect from a Milltek exhaust, namely increased performance and enhanced driveability, but also a product that can meet the rigorous performance and quality demands of the TÜV & E-Mark testing regulations that are required in many European countries.

The standard Scirocco exhaust system features twin 70mm / 2.75" tailpipes but the Milltek system features slightly enlarged twin 80mm/3.15" tailpipes. These tailpipes have been selected specifically to look like they are part of the original design of the car and not to look like an aftermarket add-on. The Milltek system uses larger, full bore pipework and acoustically efficient silencers for better gas flow.

Three new members has just joined the club (Well for one - Mas Idayat, just to reintroduce since he just joined for the first time this time during VAG Mini-meets).

Zudyn (Mk.4 Volkswagen Golf 1.6 SR):





Fully kitted, 17" Wheels, Kamei Front Eyelids, Chrome Fuel Cap, OEM Rear Hella Tail lights.

Apparently, his car has been in the garage for 3/4 months trying to sort out what's the problem of the car. According to him, the car couldn't be started at all.

Nolz helping out checking what could caused the problem.

Nolz: "First suspect, Fusebox ni.."


Nolz: "Nah nyang ku!"

His Alternator fuse broke, well.. there's pretty much no current flowing through with that 'bad' of a contact. Oh well Zudyn, $80 for a Brand New Fusebox and you're good to go rolling with your Golf again!


'VAG was here! .. XD'

Hadi lives around Muara, so yeah you might pretty much see him rolling everytime around there. If you see a Toledo rolling on 18" Chrome Wheels, then that's him. :p
