    Boosting on a Budget- 19birel's MK7.5 Build

    I liked them on the track, I'm not sure how they would do for AX as they'll take a couple moderately heavy brake applications to get heat into them to really bite. Once they're warm though they are nice and it doesn't take a ton to get heat into them, but enough that its worth noting. On the...

    Boosting on a Budget- 19birel's MK7.5 Build

    So the car is due for state inspection this month and I knew It was in dire need of brake pads. To my surprise I still had my old EBC yellows sitting in the garage that had plenty of pad material left on them so I figured I'd toss those in the front and order fresh ones for the rear...however I...

    2017 GTI build for european tracks, backroads and road trips

    Wow I don't think I've ever seen someone burn through paint on the performance pack brakes like that before! The RS brakes look like they'll make for a nice upgrade though. Which bucket seats are you planning to get?

    2017 GTI build for european tracks, backroads and road trips

    It's interesting the variations with which these cars could be ordered from new, I didn't realize cruise control was optional in some markets! If I could trade my cruise control (I only use the speed limiter) for your automatic climate control I would though hahaha

    Trouble Resetting ECU Adaptations in OBDEleven

    Interesting, I'm not sure I have tried with the engine fully up to temp so I'll give that a go. Thanks for the direction!

    Trouble Resetting ECU Adaptations in OBDEleven

    Has anyone run into the issue of OBD Eleven refusing to reset adaptations "due to reasons of safety" ? Mine keeps doing this and I can't figure out why for the life of me, dongle and app both fully updated, and it has reset adaptions on other cars whilst I have been having the issue so I think...

    The new wheel looks great! If you don't mind me asking, approximately what did that run you?

    Boosting on a Budget- 19birel's MK7.5 Build

    Small update- mostly just driving and enjoying the car as lately my daily has been reminding of its age and has kept me occupied (clutch line, clutch master, trans coolant solenoid, map sensor, and a gas cap amongst a couple other smaller optional projects). That said, today a friend stopped by...

    Building Otto

    The Burger Motorsports universal kit with a snow performance nozzle, you can run it with an external controller like any other kit but my daily has a JB4 stacked on a flash so use the JB4 w/FSB as the meth controller. I used a CTS Turbo throttle body spacer but daily is a longitudinally mounted...

    Building Otto

    +1 on the meth, I run it for cooling on my daily, currently just one nozzle post throttle body and during the summer you can tell the difference. Car isn't tuned for it, so if the tank runs dry or something it literally doesn't matter. I run a homebrew mix of ~56% meth made with Sub-zero washer...

    Codeskilla’s Daily Driven MK7R BST/STU Build

    Hard to beat how good a Lapiz 7R looks! I like what you've done with it do far! How do you like the muffler delete? any drone?

    Single parent has mid-life crisis @ 34; buys dream hatch; gets back into racing after 8-yr hiatus; chases BMW M-cars

    Nice! I might try those as my next set of track pads! I'm surprised you survived EBC reds on track haha, even yellows are sketchy haha. +1 on the ceramic coat, I did that with my wheels and clean up is effortless.

    The powerstop track pads, have you run them before? Curious as to your thoughts!

    CSB69: Acadia And Friends Post Nothing But Nonsense. Do Not Come Here For Actual Content.

    The VAG cars don't have the same level of CAN integration with the JB4 as the BMWs, but the mobile app works well enough for doing those things. It would be cool though to have those functions accessible via the wheel and cluster

    CSB69: Acadia And Friends Post Nothing But Nonsense. Do Not Come Here For Actual Content.

    I have had a JB4 on my A4 for over 60k miles, ~50k of which it has been stacked with a custom map 6 ontop of an IE tune and the car has been dead reliable at 133k miles and even got a clean blackstone report after its last oil change. JB4s aren't an ideal tuning solution, but when it comes to...

    Daks' GTI

    That's fair, can't go wrong with bigger brakes IMO- I did a mild BBK on my daily and I swear it has saved me from hitting a deer on more than one occasion haha

    Daks' GTI

    Brakes in EVs are weird- in my BMW Porsche Audi Sales days I found that some cars had trash brakes because it was expected the drivers would crank up the regen and barely use the actual braking system. (Audi Q4 E-Trons have drums in the rear lmao) You may have tried this already, but messing...
