I had a full day to Auto-X it in the rain and swapped each run to compare times. I also switched between the full torque and partial torque tune. In the end, on the stock PS4S my fastest times were always in full Sport+ with full torque request and pedal dance. When it was really pouring...
Did you fully remove the lid when installing the drop in? For mine I kind of cracked it open and slid it in and noticed it bent REALLY easily. Mine wasn't that bad, but haven't pulled it back out yet either.
Any of the popular off the shelf tunes should hit over 400 crank hp. Mostly because the stock power numbers are quite a bit above 320hp. Yes, that will introduce more heat, but it's up to your preference and how you want to enjoy your track days.
If you are an experienced track driver, you...
Yeah, it's been rock solid for me with only a few exceptions:
1. If in Waze and I ask for directions via voice command it will sometimes not know which app to use (Maps or Waze) and do nothing or put it into maps but not start it or switch to it.
2. I can't figure out how to force a 2 way split...
They come off super easy with some fishing line, easier than most. IF you scratch it at all (unlikely) hit it with a light all in one and it will be gone. I don't think I even needed to use any adhesive remover, I think you can roll off the adhesive with your finger. The exception being the...
Is it a subject of debate? Not doubting you, just haven't seen it myself and was doing some research on it earlier this week. Talking to the FK8 folks, they have confirmed that AHA only cuts in when running +R with VSA off, nothing when running pedal dance. But many still run +R because they...
Well, you had the manual! And yeah, I had an S3 so DSG only, but the Golf R manual was pretty meh and IMO defeated the purpose. The DSG + AWD was the best part of that car, it was a freaking rocket. Manual in the GTI is a better fit IMO.
I prefer the ITS seats to the S3s though, but I...
While the VAG DSGs are fantastic, mine blew just after break in. Nothing like having a brand new car in the shop for months waiting on repairs, which never worked, then a full replacement. Meanwhile Audi seemed to treat it as just the normal process of owning an Audi.
Does the cold side of the PRL intercooler have a larger exit to match the new connection piece or does it match the OEM? I don't remember when I installed it. If that section isn't larger, it's mostly a moot point. Granted a cast piece could allow a smoother flow transition. I don't see it being...
I think we all have the same idea. TI Inlet, HVI, HPS Charge Pipes, and Acuity Shift Linkage bushings all going in together! Also taking a "sick day" for it :)
Anyone getting any squeaking from the H&Rs? It's nothing major, normally it's when I do a quick stop in the rain, like stopping when exiting a driveway. I assumed it was just the progressive springs rubbing, but wanted to see if it's normal.
My understanding is that vendors could pre-order allotments, those are filled first "in March" then general pre-orders would roll out in April. Also, supposedly both dates had "float built in" given the bad press PRL currently has. Will see! I checked in with TSP a few days ago and they had no...
I did a full day Auto-X school this weekend on the stock tires on the Apexes. Started off at 38/35 cold, warmed up to around 41/38 when I was checking them. I was working the fronts HARD, 10 straight runs with only a couple minutes cool down between laps. Everything seems fine till I got home...
You aren't going to be able to get that much front camber without a front camber kit. -2.0+ is about as much as you can hope for with the guide pins pulled.
Nice work, looks good!
