    Keep the CF Hood and Fenders ??

    So here is my dilemma. With my GTi having these I've noticed the hood lifts/flexes up and down right near the edge where the wipers are. I see it do this at anything over 70mph. What's worse is when big trucks meet me on a 2 lane, the hood flexes even more, making me think it's going to pop off...

    Biggest 2 things I am looking for is a LPFP and HPFP. Would like a 1300cc MPI setup w/harness as well. Will be pushing initially a Garret Stage 1 power-max, later a Stage 2 once I get bored with stage 1. Or, if car makes enough power and hits limit of my clutch (550whp) I will stay Stage 1 if...

    Wheel bearing help

    So, a while back I bent my right front wheel. I replaced the wheel of course, but didn't think about the wheel bearing being damaged. Here we are months later and I started hearing the tell-tale whine. Took the GTI to the shop with replacement wheel hub assembly from FCP Euro Part#FAG8VO498625A...

    Just clutch it?

    Hey folks, so my GTI needs a clutch. The clutch kit I run is not currently available anywhere, but I can get just the disc. I am trying to figure out if getting just the disc is ok, or do I need the new pressure plate and smf as well? Thanks in advance.

    TPC38 - What does it need?

    Well I was thinking EQT Vortex, or Littco 500 the whole time, but my stubborn ways want a BB turbo. the TPC38 fits the bill for what I am looking for, so now I am trying to dial in the needed supporting mods. For fuel I was looking at the DW300 kit that ChrisMk77 mentioned. Not sure if it will...

    FS - OEM Austin wheels - Best offer

    Off of my 2017 GTI SE. I had these wheels on for maybe the first 20k miles of ownership. Right now they are sitting in my hallway and are more in the way than anything else (no garage). They look decent, but the car was my daily and I made frequent trips from Texas to Louisana, so they are not...

    Unitronic Stage 2 w/IS38 - Will it even run?

    Ok so I called Unitronic on this one to ask and hear from them. I asked if my car would run on the stage 2 with an IS38. Their response was that they highly recommend getting the upgrade flash to Stage2+ (the dedicated IS38 file), and they could not guarantee the car will run without it. I know...

    Side skirt removal help

    Thought I would ask before I moved forward. Trying to get my side skirts off so that I can install new skirts. I pulled the screw at the bottom that is about middle way down, but the skirt does not come off. Is it held on with adhesive or what am I missing? Google and Youtube wasn't much help.

    Sparkplug help

    Looking for someone with similar mods as me to chime in. My GTI is FBO with Unitronic Stage 2, which sparkplug is best ? I know about the RS7 plugs (NGK OE# 06K905601M ). If your car is like mine and you have these plugs, would you say: 1. Get them 2. Don't need them, OE is fine 3. You should...

    What's that noise ??

    Hey folks, help a fella out. I have this noise that sounds a lot like its axle-related. It's the familiar humming associated with that, or at least that is what I think it is. I am at a disadvantage because I am half deaf, so I can't pinpoint the area, or be certain the sound is accurate. Here...

    MK7 GTI Lighting issues

    Hey folks, my GTI interior lighting is bothering me. It is not bright enough. I have the lighting package but does that also include the interior LED bulbs as well? I have the dimmer all the way up, but it barely lights up the foot well area? It may because I am used to BMW, and they are just...
