Does anyone know of either of these kits will work to swap out the water pump and thermostat?

All of these links go to the same kit. If you input your 16 GTI S, then ECS indicates that the kit will fit. You might want to try FCPEURO.COM as they have a lifetime guarantee on what they sell.

Did you ever get an answer for this? I have rotors and pads as well as a bunch of other small stuff in my cart but didn't even really think about this to be honest.

No one has gotten back to me, I have never ordered from the states so im not sure if the duty fee is a a fixed fee or is just tax you have to pay on top.

Does anyone have the egg on top for traveling? If so, do you like it? How much space is there really?

What tire pressures are you guys running? I was doing 37 like it says on the door frame, but noticed the tires wearing out quicker in the center. Lowered it down to 34.5 which resulted in tons of wheel hop throughout most of 3rd and 4th gears

Do a chalk test to see what the ideal setting would be for your specific set-up.

My door frame says 39 so been sticking to that generally, but the thing only sees daily city driving so ymmv

I run 35 on the street, 25 on the drag strip. No abnormal wear so far.

For what tires?

Can gather up the inputs and see what's recommended through math equations.
