Definitely a clutch first though, I'm doing the clutch before I flash it at APR

How do you like the H&R Street Performance Coilovers?

I love them. It rides just like stock but I can adjust the height obviously. I installed them at the level they were at from the factory and only had to make very minor adjustments. No rubbing and I have 18x8.5 ET45 wheels.

That's awesome to hear! I've been looking at coilovers lately and those H&R's look very appealing to me. It is between to these and the Bilstein B14's. Keep up the great work!

Thanks bro! Great to hear positive feedback! I just ordered an APR Downpipe and an IE Carbon Fiber Intake with the Turbo Inlet Pipe. I think after that it'll just be a clutch and a flash tune.

Definitely going to need a clutch man! You're going to love the stg 2 flash. It's crazy how these cars transform after a tune

Yeah that's what I hear. I had an MKV GTI DSG back in 2012 that I had a 42dd downpipe on it, an Evoms Intake and a catch can on it. Never got a tune. I just need to do it. But I need to get the clutch first. Clutch and installation is a big ticket lol

Installed the APR downpipe today not knowing that I needed the APR universal kit in order to mate it to my AWE exhaust so my car is a screaming banshee until it gets here. I had some trouble getting the v band on the Turbo/downpipe. It's tightened up so it's not loose and I'm not losing anything that I know of but it's not near tight enough and it looks slightly ajar.

I also got my Intake installed, couldn't hear it because my downpipe was screaming [emoji35]

I also got my ECS hatch pop kit installed and coded. Tomorrow I will figure out that v band

New Intake and Downpipe post installation. Even with a spacer I'm still popping a bunch of CEL's so I'm thinking I may have installed the cat backwards? I'm not sure but I had a spacer on my MKV and I never popped a CEL.

Oh and I got the hatch pop kit installed as well but that's not worth a photo lol.

So I'm just curious, what does anyone reading this think my next move should be?

Tune
Clutch
Air Ride
Intercooler
Updated engine dress up
Fluidampr

I live in Panama City Florida so the drive up to APR is only 3 hours away so my intention was to get a tune then a clutch soon afterwards. I'm not an aggressive driver and I don't street race so I think my stock clutch will hold up well. For the replacement I figured a South Bend Stage 2. But I'd like the other mods as well.

Also I'm currently waiting on a shipment from Chemical Guys for my clay block and C9 Carbon Flex. That'll go on this week as well.

Ok so I got great news today, I'm getting medically retired out of the Air Force and I have been saving up funds so it's time to spend some on the vehicle! Now I'm getting an RSR clutch from hstuning.com and then I'm also getting a Fluidampr, denso ihk24 spark plugs, and an HID kit from usp motor sports.com. Then after install I plan on an APR stage 2 tune. Then I think that's about it for the time being. Any other recommendations?
