Just as the title states, I'm a new Golf R owner looking to run some sessions on the track but I want to make sure I have everything I need to ensure it remains reliable. Also, track use (to me) is circuit tracks, not drag racing.
Currently I'm at APR Stage 2 (including the intercooler) so I should have the ability to keep IATs down a bit.
What else is recommended for Golf Rs that will be used on the track? I'm seeing people say there's a tendancy for oil to pool in the cylinder head and a new catch can/oil return system is needed to keep it from blowing the oil into the intake tract. Looks like a $700 kit. Necessary or no? Also, standard oil and brake fluid ok? Additionally, I know the aftermarket dogbone inserts are intended to keep the engine from pivoting under hard acceleration and braking. How important is that upgrade before track use?
