Added a couple of gallons of E85 and then filled the rest of my tank with crappy California 91 octane. I'm running MAPerformance stage 2 tune and the car feels more responsive now!
Thanks Jake! I had found the left and right markings on the caliper and tested accordingly, but I'll have to install them on the opposite side than what's stamped on the caliper.I realize it’s just a test fit, but you’ll want the bleeders up on the actual installation

Did my first clutch install as well as Baun V2 DP and midpipe while I was in there. Also did 034 upper dogbone insert and will be doing BFI stage 1 eng/trans mounts soon. I now have a chirping noise around the subframe area and not sure what it is exactly.
How did it go? Did you end up needing to make a tool for the right axle cup?
Fortunately all four are the same. I may still swap the tubes to keep the L on left and R on right. OCD like that.Only thing to check there is piston size. If all four are the same that’s fine, but if two are smaller you’ll want the small pair leading, which may require flipping the crossover tubes and bleeders.
I bought that tool that you posted haha. That was big save. Overall it went without any major problems. Took our time and had some extremely tough to reach bolts for the DP and dealing with the LSD was pretty annoying.
With only 1 ft of space underneath the car and no transmission jack I had to use 2 ratchet straps looped around support bar to help hoist the transmission up enough to get under and help push/guide it into place.
Off topic but I think I've sen you drive past Golden West College a few times.Oil change today after two track days, used Castrol Pro OE 5w 40.
Couple pics from last weekend at Auto Club Speedway. Need more brake torque, the EBC yellow all around don’t have enough bite.
My handle was changed from @Autobahn to my MKV forum handle with the forum migration, need to get that fixed:

Nice! I'm not looking forward to doing it but hopefully it won't be too bad.
I can't tell from your picture, but did you end up removing the subframe, or just unbolting the VAQ and dropping the transmission out alone?
Installed a Mishimoto direct fit intercooler on the GLI, what a PITA haha ?
Thanks! I had a Forge Twintercooler, but that did not fit on the GLI, the crashbar isn’t the same as the GTI. The only “front-mount” I’ve seen that’s made for the MK7 GLI is the JD Eurosports FMIC, which still requires trimming of the crashbar.Good work! Do you know by chance if any of the front mount or twin front intercooler fit the GLI? I want that Ebay twin front but no one seems to know if the GTI one will fit the GLI
