Did that. They be stuck. I pulled them 5000 miles ago but didn’t grease them when I put them back in. Gonna pull the tops and focus on removing the boots via a few different methods 🤞

Damn bruh - I’ve been able to pull mine twice now in the last 15k..

How does this compare to the vector display?

Accomplishes similar goals as the vektor but vadpro is 100% customisable. Pick your gauges and sensors then setup the screens. It's a straight forward app on the PC you can just upload the screens to and I think eventually people will start making and sharing their own custom screens.

It also doesn't block the vent completely so you can get some air out of it. Sensor refresh rates are comparable between them.

Yeah I don’t know what happened. They’ve never been this difficult to remove before. TOO MUCH POWA
A little dielectric grease on in the inside of the boot next time.

What's on the upgrade list?
Seats, larger display screen, harness bar and harness, front splitter, rear diffuser change, dash vinyl wrap, raise coilover slightly and have meatier tires fitted. Other turbo shit later...

Installed Osram headlamps into our newish alltrack. Good first mod for the second car.

Installed an ECS Tuning stage 2 clutch, 034Motorsports rear main seal, and BFI stage 1 poly insert w/ OEM transmission mount. I have a BFI stage 1 engine mount on hand but wanted to test the NVH one by one, and honestly can’t tell a huge, noticeable difference after adding the trans poly insert which is nice. Clutch engagement very low to the floor and about 1.5x stiffer. Def chatters at idle 😆

Swapped to an AGM battery since my factory one finally bite the dust.

While I was there I decided I might as well install my euro short shifter. Shifter came with new cable ends with solid bushings. All was going well until I pulled back the new side to side end and I thought it grabbed when I turned it...instead the spring shot back and this happened....

I threw the stock side to side back in there for now. I'll pop in the new bushing when I'm back here for my trans mount.

I'd love to get rid of the PP red stripe without spending 2k on R lights. Are the LP lights from golf/sportwagen models direct swap?

They do.


Kinda. Ish.

Osram makes a set of xenon lights that "work" as a replacement for the performance pack cars. It requires some additional wiring & coding, and maybe swapping a module? So not fully plug and play, but it works. @ZERO815 has install instructions around here somewhere. And I think @StorableComa has done it as well?
