    Seat upgrades & safety rules

    Hey all, I've been contemplating a seat upgrade as trying to hold myself in the stock seats isn't very fun. Seats aren't terribly cheap so I've considered the option of either two budget friendly seats (no ebay garbage don't worry) or a single recaro becuase who cares about passengers, right...

    Oil Cooler with a FMIC?

    So not long ago I picked up a twintercooler setup for my MK7.5, so far so good, but in my infinite wisdom I failed to realize that the fmic would occupy the space where I'd potentially install an oil cooler down the line. Is anyone running an oil cooler with an fmic that can shed some light on...

    Will it Rub?- Wheel Fitment Question

    So I'm running a set of ET43 Apex SM-10s and wanted to put a 5mm spacer on to really dial in the fitment. I did a little test fit and whilst it looks like the rear will be fine, the front seems like it will be close. The spacers I did this mock up with have the wrong centerbore so I can't test...

    Mamba IS38 Extreme Turbo

    So Mambatek turbos have become a somewhat popular budget choice as of late, but I just stumbled across their seemingly new (at least I hadn't heard of it before) IS38 Extreme turbo.

    Has anyone done an aftermarket wheel and retained their steering wheel buttons? I have seen kits for some JDM cars that facilitate this but nothing for the MK7 so far. I'd love a smaller wheel in my car but I can't go without the buttons haha

    Stock Pirelli P7s on Track

    Hello all, Has anyone run the P7s on track? They're pretty bad on the street so I was wondering if anyone who has experienced them on track can shed some light on whether or not I'm going to pissed off I didn't get better tyres haha. I'm not trying to set any records, but I have lots of track...

    Basic Audio Upgrade Help

    Hello All, I have a 2021 GTI SE (base sound system, but with the nicer headunit) and am looking for a modest audio upgrade. My other car, a 2013 Audi A4, has a Bang & Olufsen system (with Infinity front door speakers) and it kicks the crap out of the VW's setup in terms of depth and clarity. I...

    Fuel Economy When Tuned

    Hey all, I wanted to ask what kind of highway fuel economy you guys have been getting when tuned. Stock these cars are pretty darn efficient, so I'm curious how much that drops once the power starts to get turned up. It would be nice if the car could still be a fuel sipper even with a bigger...
