    APR boost gauge installed yesterday- Something wired wrong

    So I got my APR boost gauge installed on my R yesterday. Finally. Hooked everything up and the needle pegged at 30 psi as soon as I started car up. No matter what I did, it went back to 30. I unhooked sensor under the hood and hooked back up and it would drop to zero and then climb to 30...

    Anyone have a leaky hatch?

    I had a dent taken out on my hatch and I am wondering if they put something back together wrong. I washed my car last weekend, a week after getting the repair done. I opened the hatch and the water rushed in and leaked all over the hatch flap thingie. I closed the hatch and it continued to...

    How accurate is the lap timer?

    You can set it so it starts from zero as soon as you start moving. Been using it with video to get some 0-60 times. I know not the most accurate method but better than nothing. Also, any lag with the speedo? That would obviously affect this scientific test.

    Lets talk downpipes

    I am having a hard time finding good information on the R and downpipes. I never put one on my mk6 so this is uncharted territory for me. Cat vs Catless. Ok, I know the difference. But, what are the advantages of either. I can imagine the Catless would make more power and likely be a little...

    Mk7r vs 330hp sti

    We played a little on the highway so I knew this would be close. Sounds like he said he dynoed 330hp. Based on UM tune I should be right at the same level. On the launch I just stabbed the gas, no launch control. It really took its time to get moving off idle. Not sure if he was short...

    Blow by on acceleration?

    Today I noticed a little, what I would call, blow by on medium acceleration. About 48 degrees out, about 4 miles from my home so my car should had been warmed up already. I got on the gas to beat traffic on a right turn and noticed a haze behind me. It was more black than white in nature. I...

    '15R vs Modded STI

    Got lined up next to a modded STI. Wasn't sure of what the outcome would be since I am stock. Light turned green, I went, it looked like he wasn't going to so I let off. Then he decides to go, and I hit after him then. He got about a half car jump because of this. I just couldn't reel him in...

    Launch Control and DSG abuse

    What is the general consensus on Launch control? I did a search and not much came up. Some people say no issue, some people say it will destroy your DSG. With the R there is obviously a lot more strain because the tires won't give like the 2wd variants...but also a lot of fun. I can't...
