Nice van, all the coolest vans are Reflex Silver and LWB T32 you know
Would be great to hear how the suspension drives compared to standard. My T32 Kombi has very harsh low speed bump response.
Liking those. Look well suited to the bus.
I think they look great but I couldn't handle cleaning them, Devonports work for me but then I am cheap
So picked up these yesterday. Has a genuine set on my T5 and liked them and just fancied trying 20's as I've never had a set. They were for sale locally. Need to get tyres on them, this is with a 275/40 but Im going 265. They should look okay, might paint them all grey colour or silver like the pic below but the bi-colour does suit the silver I think.
Wheel sitting next to some 16in Corrado wheels, lol.

Nice - I bet you can't wait for the map
The intercooler will help loads with a stage 1 - Is that what you are going for?

Yes just stage 1. I wanted to future proof hence the larger intercooler and boost hoses as I know there not necessary but thought it would be good before the remap. I intend on keeping this for a long time so thought it better to fit good equipment. Were coping well with the 150bhp so I dare say low 300's will be more than enough.
Good thinking, stage 1 with a cooler will always give better and more consistent power.

Nice, looking forward to see how you get on with this
Will the clutch need uprating and any info on what these gearboxes will take?
I believe standard clutch and gearbox are fine. Obviously if your loaded up and rag it all the time then yes its going to limit life but it would be like that anyway. For me its more about being able to overtake easily and we are rarely laden up. We also drive a lot of A and B roads so a wider spread of power will help not having to go through the gearbox as much so in theory its may be better on that and also hopefully better on fuel. Its all about better driveability for me.
Just bought my TSI shuttle DSG a few weeks ago. Lowered by Steve @ CRS 2 weeks ago. Currently waiting for my new wheels from TransporterHQ.
Interested in more details on the engine mods as I too will probably go Revo remap with a probable TVS engineering DSG driveability map too.

Hi, engine is standard, just Wagner intercooler, ITG replacement filter and Forge Boost hoses then a Revo map.
Got the steels redone in silver and slightly larger tyres. Liking it but getting itchy feet so contemplating change. Either 19in wheels i.e. Cantera or Swamper style wheels with a few other little touches. About 3-4000miles on the bus after map and all good.
