Dane’s 15 GSW TDI - R line bumper, wheels, rear brakes, MIB2, LEDs etc

[DangerDane2008]

I havent decided yet what wheels I want. I was dead set on CCVs but they’re NLA. Found a couple I liked from WCI then I looked into WCI… yikes. Not sure what I’m gonna do. Just gonna keep running the beetle wheels till the right 3 piece comes along marketplace maybe. But they probably won’t be light.

Ohhhhh yeahhhh this build is getting outrageous. maybe consider some lightweight flowformed wheels, it makes a big performance + dynamics/steering feel difference.

Haven’t updated in a while: got the PP brakes on the rear, did an MIB2 swap, picked up some Rotiform tmb’s for $300, imported an R Line front bumper conversion from Latvia, got the OSRAMs in, underglow, and picked up a red stripe blue motion grill. Rawtek kit and Malone tune going on this weekend.

Car is dropped off for the tune and delete. Excited to see how it feels and sounds later

Just got it a couple weeks ago. Not in yet but I’ll post pics when it is. Front bumper will be first then that

Just picked it back up. Holy cow this thing is seriously quick. Now I need to do something about the rest of the exhaust.

Nice to see someone else going deep into mods on a TDI. Every so often I load up the stock tune for a couple months, then reflash and think to myself dang this is quick .

Glad you saw this. Thank you so much for your help with my brakes and mib2

Always here to help, I feel like all the information is out there. It's just all over the place, haha.

I'm "afraid" the CR190 is in my near future. I have to keep all the emissions stuff intact here in California so anything more than the CR190 is probably a waste since I won't at any point be doing a delete.

Since I already have the Kerma tune, I can do the CR190 from them without needing to pay for tuning again.

Let me know how it is. That’s in my future too if/when my stock turbo goes.

Also I never kept you updated on my rear brakes. After not being able to get a peddle for days. Took it to a reputable independent euro shop. They couldn’t fix it either. They put a new master cylinder in. They bled and bled and bled it. Had it for a month before they gave up. Still didn’t have a good peddle. One day they just started working and I got a solid peddle again.

That is crazy! Glad it's working obviously but still hard to think of what could cause a soft pedal other than something in the system not being sealed properly, or air in the system. With multiple bleeds either you or they would have taken care of both of those issues. And you didn't even do anything like replacing the ABS module where there was potential for the system to run dry.

There's a thread on TDiclub with impressions on the CR190. The person over there went with it after their stock turbo gave it up. The jump from stock to tuned is bigger than the jump from tuned to CR190. So there's more power under the curve but also you get that power right up the red line.
