Got my tune that supports with Walbro 450 from Jon at 5150 last night, so I installed the fuel pump and loaded the tune. So far, no issues. I bought the kit from Precision Raceworks and had support from this thread: https://www.golfmk7.com/forums/showthread.php?t=44651&highlight=LPFP
I'm going to log the new 93 pump tune soon and will post some video of the runs. I'll ask Jon for my E30 version when I send him the logs.
The VWR springs and shocks are really sweet! They are much more comfortable AND better performing than stock ones, for sure. Did a balls to the wall run yesterday and they performed like a champ. The also eliminated the "chatter" my old ones produced on the highway that made the stocks ones almost unbearable on my recent long road trips. Finally, they've settled down and are plenty low now. I highly recommend this kit that goes on sale every now and again at USP Motorsports: https://www.uspmotorsports.com/VWR-Sport-Spring-and-Damper-Kit-For-MQB-Platform-FWD-MK7-GTI.html
I haven't done any hard launches yet since installing the BFI Stage 2 engine mount. However, I can tell you that the vibration at idle it has introduced is substantial. I don't mind it so far as it just makes the car feel like it's got a little something something under the hood. Kind of reminds me of my 500HP n/a 2013 Boss 302 Mustang at idle where the rear view mirror adornments would visibly shake and sway back and forth at the light.
Mind if I ask what you paid for the spring/shock combo when it was on sale? Thanks.
