What did you get in the mail or bring home for your MKVII today?

Cool, thank you!

It's the Cerma engine treatment. Expensive but worth it and it's a one time treatment.

Do you put this in after an oil change? I cant find specifics on their website

Yes I did but the effects aren't really noticeable with the turbo treatment. To add the engine treatment make sure you're clean oil is up to temperature. If you can add it with the engine running without oil spitting out all over do that and then drive for 50 miles. If oil is spitting out then shut the engine off. Add it and immediately start the engine and drive for 50 miles.

nice! how was fitment? Did you install yourself? Any logs? I'm curious how it performs...

I’m still waiting. It’s coming Sunday I will definitely follow up with a post.

Have you said how long you've had it in your engine?

No I haven't said but it was since 5,000 miles and I'm at 93,000 now.

You decide if you are going to powder coat them? They have cerakote as well but limited on colors and that is good to 1800 degrees Fahrenheit.

Powder coating later, focusing funds towards adding meth injection to go with my intercooler that is about to go in.

IE version 2 inter cooler came a day early then expected. Packed really nice with zero damage. The box was HUGE. This thing is super heavy , not sure how heavy the stock one is tho. Can’t wait to get this stuff installed. I’m such a noob lol

The stock one could be flung across a yard by a toddler.

Ed is done with my tune so removing weight to see if I need more power. Looking forward to seeing your progress.

Brought home new wheels. Again. Good thing I'm not married. Got tired of black wheels, so went for sparkly gunmetal.

Flow One F5 18x8 45 ET with General GMAX AS 245/40/18. Really need to get around to installing those lowering springs.

Installed Lamin-X on headlights. This was a really difficult job, for me. I did the first one and there were just dozens of bubbles that I couldn't get out with removing and re positioning as per instructions. I eventually gave up, and following the instruction pricked them all with a needle. Two weeks later it started to look really good, and then another week and it was great. I figured the second one was going to be a whole lot easier. It was worse. Maybe it is the compount curves, and maybe it is cut a little too short, but I had a heck of a time. I was going to give up serveral times. My back eventually really started to kill me, and so I finally went with what I had. Two weeks later and many of the bubbles have disappeared, but that was with much work. And, there is a section at the end that has no bubbles, but looks like it is something in the plastic that is making it opaque. Would I do it again? Yes, considering the headlights with tax are about $1700 each. I am going on road trips, and thought it cheap insurance. If you go this route be prepared for a lot of post application needling, and have a bucket full of patience.

Which springs? Wondering about rubbing issues with those meaty 245s.

A aftermarket company needs to come out with lens replacements. Like the mk4’s used to offer glass replacements.
