VW GTi Power Booster


I've just installed the APR 3" downpipe and remapped the ECU to Stage 2. This brings the power upto approx. 270hp at the crank (from a base of 200bhp) and torque upto approx. 320lb-ft (from a measly 207lb-ft)!

Follow the installation of the power boosters.....

Langkawi Holiday


My cousin and I visited one of our uncle and aunt who lives in Langkawi over the weekend. Their new house is in a kampung area and there are cows and kerbaus nearby. Quite a crazy holiday, thanks to my cousin....

A quick visit to Langkawi.....


Good 'ol Monthly Gathering


As usual, every now and then, our department has a monthly get-together to celebrate birthdays, and have some makan. I've been appointed head of the Welfare and Sports Club and have fun organising these events.

Fun at our monthly gathering.....


Annual Leadership Briefing


My division held its ALB this time up in Cameron Highlands. Thankfully, the weather is nice and cool, and we savoured the famous strawberries with scones and cream.

VW GTi Mods


I am doing some performance upgrades to my car, the first being installation of a cold air intake by Carbonio and an APR ECU remap to Stage 1. This boosts power by 50hp!

See the GTi mods being done....

My friend from Australia came over for a holiday, so we had English dinner and then partied at a nightclub.

Power Boost


My car was due for service, and I thought why not go for an extra boost of speed by remapping the car's ECU. I chose APR and concidentally it was on sale, so for RM3,980 I got a fully-loaded program, saving almost RM2,000 off normal prices. With that, my VW GTi jumped from a stock 200bhp to a blazing 250bhp! Quite noticeable improvement even in normal driving.
