    7.5 Rear Splitter on a MK7? Other Splitter Suggestions?

    Hey all, I'm about to do the ISweep body kit on my MK7 R, but I am not a fan of the rear splitter. I do love their splitter for the 7.5, will it fit the MK7? If not, any other rear splitters that would compliment the rest of the ISweep kit?

    EQT Turbo/UM Tuning

    Hey all, Not sure if this deserves its own thread. If not, I apologize. So I just got my car back with the EQT turbo and Precision Raecworks multi-port kit with 925CC injectors and their Stage 3.5 fuel pump upgrade kit with UM software. I got the work done by Country Dubs here in...

    Sound Deadening Idea--Is it bonkers?

    So, I'm looking to combat a bit of drone from my exhaust. I was thinking of adding dynamat, but then I had the possibly bright idea to make installation a lot easier. Thinking of applying either dynamat or hushmat directly to the underside of my weathertech hatch mat. Anyone see any problems...

    Analog Boost Gauge Options for R

    Hey all, I'm looking for a 52mm boost gauge that matches the MK7 R's gauge cluster. So white, with a blue needle. The APR gauge would be perfect, except it says "APR" in huge letters and I have (almost) no other APR parts on my car. Does anyone know of another white faced, blue needled...

    Rear View Camera Not Retracting

    So about 60 percent of the time, my rear view camera doesn't retract, which of course means I can't open the hatch. Has anyone else had this problem? If so, what was it? HELP!

    EQT vs LITTCO

    Hey all, So I've been wading through the EQT and LITTCO threads, and I'm ready to pull the trigger on one of these two units. Sadly, I am half a moron (on my mother's side," and the other half is an idiot (Dear old Dad.) That's why I am asking y'all. What are your thoughts on the two turbos...

    Front Splitter/Towing Quick Release Options?

    I'm thinking of adding a front splitter to my R, but I'm worried if it ever needs to be towed. How do folks with a front splitter deal with that? Is there a quick release bracket option for our cars?

    VW Urban Loader Top Box

    Anyone have any experience with the VW Urban Loader top box? VW and Volvo both sell it, and in Europe you can get it straight from Calix, the manufacturer. It looks like a great, good looking solution to getting my golf to match my wife's Forester for family road trip versatility. Thoughts...

    Thoughts on motor/transmission mounts?

    Hey all, do any of you have experience with aftermarket motor and transmission mounts for our cars? Mounts will be my next mod, but I'm not sure which way to go. I have tended to go VWR with just about everything on my car, but there mounts are VERY expensive, and all metal. I am concerned...

    What Next?

    So I love my Golf R, it is as fine a car as I've ever owned. Not as sexy as my old XJ-R or as tough as my old Bronco, but way less likely to get pulled over than my Supra, way harder to break into than my Jeep, roomier than my CTS Wagon (how did that happen?) and far, far faster than any of...

    Long story short, I was trying to get European DLA headlights to work on my American Golf R, failed utterly, and just bought the right headlights. Unfortunately, allowing me to attempt coding is kinda like giving a lowland gorilla a basin wrench and asking him to perform dental surgery. So...
