Yes, I know, but ideally, I would want a shop that has done dozens and dozens of these engines...

I don't think I trust any local shops to do it (Ottawa/Ontario). Maybe Montréal or Toronto.

Looking at FFE, I can't find a site that would have all the options available as a "kit". I guess I could always contact FFE directly. Thanks!

Hi ll, With APR and IE out of the game, what are the options for a reliable shop for a built engine, say for 600+HP? I would also consider a long block, with a re-worked head and everything assembled. Why are options so limited? Thanks!

I must admit that I'm quite impressed and satisfied with Precision Raceworks services. They agreed to send me a brand new set of injectors. They were really quick and agreeable. I'm glad they stand behind their products. Kudos to them.

I found the source of the problem:

Thanks, much appreciated.

I can see in VCDS that the car is requesting 5 bars, but I'm only getting 3.2 to 3.6 bars with ignition on. I think that's the issue, but I can't understand what the source could possibly be. I would also expect the ECU to throw some codes over this. I have a low pressure gauge kit, I will...

Right now, e50. And I know it's normal to be harder to start on a blend. Last summer, I was also running e50-e70 and it was NOT that hard to start. The thing is that it was also hard to start a few weeks ago running regular 94 pump gas. I do adjust the tune to consider the ethanol blend.

Thanks! I guess you mean the DI injectors. That's a good idea. Wouldn't they misfire if that was the case?

One thing that I'm thinking now.... could I have a leaking port injector (or maybe more than one) that is flooding one cylinder making it harder to start? I guess I could test that too with a gauge...

No. The starter seems fine as it's able to crank the engine the same as before; it just takes longer before actually starting. But thanks for the suggestion.

Hi all, I’m having an issue where my 2016 R is hard to start, especially when cold. Sometimes, between 4-8 seconds to start. Here are my pertinent mods: APR EFR7163 Stage 3 kit with custom electronic wastegate actuator Eurodyne Maestro Stage 3 ECU tuned by Moose Walbro 525 Hellcat Low...

Hi, I bought a used APR stage 3 kit for my 2016 R (DSG). I am planning on adding MPI and a larger fuel pump, probably from Precision Raceworks. As far as I know, my tuning options are: United Motorsports. Not local to me. Eurodyne (with Meastro). I love the facts that they're local to me...

Includes: 2 x 5x100/5x112 - 10mm (for the front wheels) 2 x 5x100/5x112 - 17.5mm (for the rear wheels) Will also fit the GTI. The kit does NOT include bolts. You will need to get the following separately: 10 x Ball Seat Wheel Bolt - 14 x 1.5 x 40mm 10 x Ball Seat Wheel Bolt - 14 x 1.5 x 45mm...

That dates back to 2017... Nothing new.

Hi, I'm looking to purchase a set of OEM rear brakes for a Golf R (2015-17). I just need the calipers. Anyone? Thanks!

Hey guys, One last outing for the season for the Ottawa crew. We are heading to Napierville on Saturday October 21st. We do this yearly and it's always an amazing time. Cruise there, do some runs then stop for dinner on the way back. DEPARTURE PLANS FROM OTTAWA: For those west of Rockland we...

Hi all, Every week, I watch this TV car show called RPM. This week, one of the show hosts was wearing a Golf R shirt. Those shirts are always available afterwards on ttop.ca (Canadian company). If anyone is interested, I think it looks really cool: http://ttop.ca/produit/vw-golf-r/ Note I'm...
