Nice to see another local MK7, love the build, especially the DBV2 coming up. One note of caution is the 034 front mounts. Have you considered coils with camber plate mounts?

I’ve consisted BC Racing coils and will probably end up going that route in the coming months. For now, I’ll probably just go ahead and install them. Maybe I’ll get lucky without any creaks or knocks [emoji23]

You need to ditch the jb4 and go with a real tune/tuner. So much potential out of the v2 but you’re wasting it without flex mpi, lpfp, and tune



The DBV2 is going to be at my shop tomorrow. Once it’s installed; going to be UM tuned and the jb4 will be sold so if anyone wants dips :D

Forget creaks and clunks, you better hope they don't snap your strut rods. They provide zero benefit over stock mounts up front and riddled with problems. Look at Navi's build thread. Same thing happened to me, twice.

Thanks for the heads up! I’m going to take a peak

is that turbo in and installed? I want to see this thing!!!



Not yet [emoji17] Had some scheduling issues with the shop because of my own fault/work and now with my luck, Jeff @ UM is going to Wookies the week I wanted to schedule it so we’re delayed by a about two weeks [emoji2959]

Anyone know some more info about the Pagparts brushless fuel pump upgrade? Seems like a nice drop-in kit !
