Can one of my fellow wagon owners chime in and let me know where the fuck this part goes?

I have 2 of them and they have been loose out of the car for years now and I have no idea where they go.

My best guess is something to do with the GSW hatch floor but I'm not sure. Anyone know? It's driving me crazy, I've tried searching those numbers on the plastic to no avail...

Aren't those the two latches for the two side pieces?

You mean the side pieces that run under the hatch floor?

How much does it build a GTI motor WITHOUT labor?

What parts are needed?

Any aftermarket manufactures sell engine parts to build?


How is 400+HP/TQ on a FWD? Is it to much for a daily? What about 500? 😂


I'm stage 1 and got gapped so bad on the scatpack r.i.p

So my puddle light in the drivers side mirror has stopped working. I guess I need to change the LED bulb? Does anybody know if it’s a W5W bulb I need?
Also a tutorial on how to do it would be much appreciated since I can only find it for mk6. Thanks guys

Currently running 477whp. It's perfectly fine for daily.

Okay so I checked my charge pressure acuator volts and it was 1.616v, what is the correct voltage for a IS20 on a 1.8T? Since the car is stage 2 tune do i need to get with the tune company to find out? I have seen that Is38 is 3.5v-3.8v, is mine the same?

It's the same. Have them get it to 3.5 to 3.6 volts.

Does the stock exhaust become restrictive after 450 whp?
The jury is still out on that one. I've read about cars making 500whp with the stock catback, but they did not test larger catbacks for comparison.
So, you can make big power with stock exhaust, but that doesn't mean you can't make even more with aftermarket pipes.

My take is that if you can make more hp with a 3" catback, then stock is restrictive.

Also for everyone's FYI. My car has 43k miles, only ever filled with 93, and gets Italian tune ups anytime time I have the space, check out my carbon.

The Audi version of the ITU is to run the car under load above 3000rpm for a minimum of 20 minutes.
