Hi Adam, Do you have a review on this upgrade? Thank you

Hi Triple B, I replaced the rear TA bushings at 90k miles with the Powerflex purple. My choice was based that It didn’t require a press. The originals looked brand new. Did yours look worn? In the end I was pleased with the improvements, and it complement the rear subframe inserts. No NVH...

Great video! Yes the Eurosport top piece does not retain the bump stops like the factory top plates.

Front suspension. Koni special actives with Sportwagen 70mm bump stops.

I have installed the camber kit this week-end. It went smooth. The only issue I have now is my combination of bump stops and strut shaft diameter make the bump stop loose on the shaft because it is no longer fixed to the top plates. I can hear the bump stop rattle on some road imperfections. I...

So it may not be worth it for the street but if I install them, should I set toe to zero or in between factory and zero ? I’m going to remove struts this week-end but if they don’t add anything noticeable, I may skip them… Thanks :)

Hi @tigeo Very interesting to read your suspension posts! If driving only on the street, would you recommend the Eurosport camber? I have powerflex control arm bushings and was wondering if the added camber would be really beneficial to handling? Reduced tire life and snow/slush traction...

Adding friction codes for non-PP pads I have installed in the last 2 years. Front: - Textar GF (good daily driver pad, quiet, a lot of brown dust but easy to clean) - Raybestos EHT1760 GH (too grabby, low dust, clunk noise all the time going reverse, inexpensive) - ATE low dust ceramic LD2785...

Hi scrllock, What powerflex bushings did you use? Purple or black ?

Very nice review @mrmatto I have experience with the B6 on a different car, and I have installed Special Actives (front only) on my Alltrack. The B6 have a lot of low speed compression and every imperfection on the road is felt. They also have too much rebound damping and will make the...

Hi GolfRchris, Have you installed this bushing yet?

Thank you @GoatAutomotive for listing the options. I am going with option #4 but being 4motion, I am wondering if there is a risk for the driveshaft or bevel box? Anyone can confirm if in my case, I can only drop the subframe? Thank you!

Good to know before installing the IS20. Reading back many pages back I was assuming that the 1.8t could run map1 or 2 on 91 without issue. Can an intercooler help with that? Lower air temperature or lower pressure drop would help compressor efficiency at the same manifold pressure. Now I...

So for 91 and is20, there is not much more than map 1 on the Alltrack?

Hi Codeca, Did you order this part and install it on your car? I did and received an old Goodyear Gatorback. While they were premium belts 10 years ago, I will probably replace it sooner than the original belt with 90k miles. The packaging and belt condition was still fine but it’s probably...

Hi, Do you have an update if the BM revision worked on your car? Thank you :)

Hi, Anybody running APR or Unitronic TCU tune with JB4+stock ecu+is20 ? I was looking at APR for the increased clutch pressure but it seems that Uni is good enough and cheaper. Thank you

Thank you golfdave for maintaining these articles. From what I understand, the best mod to do is the rear mk8 shields. I have an Alltrack so I already have the reinforced front plate. The next best upgrade would be the Tiguan subframe cover. Is the short center shield worth it? For about the...

Thank you Zumble! so I just use the same values as JB1 in map 6. Then when I install my IS20, I can just change the FOL number and datalog?

Hi gentlemen, I will be upgrading from JB1 to JB4. At the moment I am using a nice map 6. I have read the 2000 pages and learned that the 1.8t prefers an absolute map. So far with JB1 the relative map has worked perfectly in winter and summer. What is the reason for avoiding the relative map...
