Christophunkk's GTI

Hi everyone! I purchased my 2016 GTI Autobahn MT (purchased at 9500 miles) around June of 2018. I'm glad I didn't pass this one up, I absolutely love driving it. I was debating between this car and the WRX, but the GTI won based on daily driver consumer features - and I still get to mod it!

I'm an electrical engineer and I live in the Seattle area. Hobbies include outdoor hiking, hunting, nerdy computer stuff, video games, and obviously, cars.

I don't plan to go crazy with mods. I have a couple cosmetic things I'd like to accomplish, make the engine sound better and probably get a tune for it after 30k+ miles or so. Yes I know I'll need a clutch at the same time, thanks.

I also have a 2010 Tundra Crewmax, which is my rainy/snowy day driver and what I use to go into the mountains.

Anyway, here's my journal. I'm looking forward to adding to it

First mod: Boomba Racing blow-off valve adapter. This was a must-have for me. Easy install, three bolts. It's on clearance right now at MAP for like 58 bucks.



It sounds great!!

I also got my air filter in today. Went with the AFE drop in and snow-guard removal. I couldn't justify buying a CAI if there's no reason to do it except sound. Unfortunately, this didn't give me any sound like a CAI would, but I haven't taken a drive yet. All I really want is to hear the turbo spool up, but I've got other options.



Out with the old, in with the new!

Welcome to the forums! Clean looking ride brother! Can't wait to see more!
