    Give up on Eurodyne?

    I've been running Eurodyne for 7 years. Looking to get more out of my IS38 and APR IC. My car is a 6MT w/RSR clutch. Considering switching the Cobb/AP and EQT. The cost of this tune is holding me back. I'm unsure if it's worth it. Here's a 3rd, 4th gear pull tonight on the Eurodyne IS38...

    APR Catalyst Replacement

    The cat on my APR downpipe has become smelly and I want to replace it. Since it clamps together it should be an easy swap. Anyone know where I can buy just the catalyst? Thanks. APR just specs it as: 300 cell, 100mm x 100mm GESI catalyst

    2015 GTI AC Issues

    One day last year toward the end of summer, my AC was not cooling effectively on extremely hot days in Northern California. This problem went away the next day. But now that the weather is heating up again, the AC is hardly providing any cooling--I have a problem. I just did a VCDS scan and...

    Michelin Pilot Super Sport Lifetime

    Michelin PSS users, how much life are you getting out of your tires? I am due for a new set after ~18k miles. Front tread depth ~2mm, rear ~3mm. Wear is very even across each tire and front to rear. This wear rate seems acceptable given my driving habbits and the overall performance of the...

    Unintended acceleration induced by traction control

    Slightly disturbing incident happened today driving on wet roads... While navigating traffic I gave full throttle in second gear. Traction control intervened but the wheels spun anyway. That's normal and expected on wet roads. However, after completely lifting the throttle, something...

    5k rev limiter?

    Just a comment on an observation this morning. I have heard RJRacing and others mention a rev limiter appearing at 5k in 1st gear. I have hit it a few times and it's always with heavy wheel spin with ASR off. I believe it's a rev limiter which kicks in when the ECU believes the engine is free...

    Muffler to quiet down pipe without sacrificing performance?

    I am interested in potentially installing a muffler which would quite the exhaust with a down pipe installed without hindering flow or performance. I installed the APR down pipe this weekend and it is much louder than I expected. It doesn't sound dreadful, but I'd prefer it quieter. Can anyone...

    Looking to ditch those awful Pirelli P7 Cinturato All Seasons for some grippy new rubber? Like the Michelin Pilot Super Sport? But which size do I buy? OEM 225/40 or do I go bigger to 235/40? Michelin doesn't recommend 235/40 on the 7.5" wide Austin rim (I am not sure what the limitations...

    Let's talk brake pads

    A forum member said the brakes on the Performance Pack are the same as the previous generation Golf R. I can't verify this. But IF true then we might be able to install Mk6 Golf R brake pads on PP cars. I have ZERO complaints on my cars brakes. I am more concerned about wear charactieristcs of...

    Performance package MT and clutch same as Golf R?

    The Borg-Warner webinar on the Performance Package VAQ / eLSD (they actually call it the FXD) stated this differential requires an AWD transmission. I am wondering if the GTI-PP and Golf R share the same manual transmission and clutch and if this clutch is stronger? Anyone have any info...
