Getting ready for an oil change, Cobb intake and CTS Turbo muffler delete and turbo blanket install this weekend. Should be loads of fun!
I'm curious to how bad the turbo blanket is on the mk7 platform. On the mk6 it sure is a royal pain to do with the turbo still on the car. Haven't done one for a mk7 yet.
From what I have read and seen so far, it doesn't look too bad. I will let you know when I am done with it, lol.
Umbra in schaumburg. Ceramic is the best for blocking heatWhere has everyone gotten their window tinting done in the Chicago area? I'm considering Tints Unlimited in Elmhurst or Premier Tint Pro in Aurora. Should I stick to getting ceramic material or is a mid-range film sufficient? Looking to block UV/heat into the car and up the aesthetic look of the car.
Thanks for the heads up JayWord of advice to you mk7 guys. Stay away from Mabotech. I installed one of their intercoolers for someone yesterday. Fitment was complete gatbage, the hoses were half an inch too big in diameter. Packaging was terrible and the mounting brackets we're both bent. Iended up talking to Frank the owner and he was full of excuses while offering no solution. Good thing my partner and I can also fabricate and was able to make a shim for the intercooler in order to make it work. All is fine in the end, but honestly when spending 600 on an intercooler I would expect it to fit spot on. I wonder how many kids are out there with boost leaks because they weren't able to make a proper shim.
