What did you do to your mk7 today?

[CaptainRatty]

A hand wash and protection of any kind is way better than some of other things people put their cars through. Looks nice

Like my dad casually cleaning the snow off of his Mercedes with the same broom he sweeps the garage floor with

Great video/summary Thx for sharing Jake. Been waiting to hear/see the differences.
I know you haven't built much for the R's but if you were to throw out a swag guesstimate you much louder % wise do you think the Stealth Suitcase version vs stock R Suitcase (if both were running bigger DPs) if you were able to build out a system for the R with the 17950?

I could build these systems exactly for the R as far as resonator/muffler combos.

Volume is about equal to OEM, but much deeper (stock CBE sounds like a choked up vacuum cleaner & absolutely lacks any kind of depth).

Bore scope and compression test. Compression passed but the scope is concerning in #1. Looks like the cylinder wall is scored.

Yup.

You would see lots of blowby in that area on the piston top too.

What led you into looking at this anyways? I don't recall you having any concerns on your motor's health....

Piston top looks good as far as I can tell. I keep getting KR and it’s not fuel or spark related. But usually in Cyl#4, not #1. I tend to check compression and plugs often just to keep an eye on things.

Here’s the compression of all.

Here are the other cylinder videos

No misfires, epc’s, CELs. Just felt like it was running a little rougher than normal. Got those injectors serviced thinking it’s a fuel issue with the KR (also what Nick suggested) but wanted to check everything out before pulling the MPI to swap in the clean injectors.
