Much appreciated doing the needful.
sheer curiosity, how does one ~become~ a mod? not saying i care to be one because i'm a pretty flavorful person, but i'm wondering why people like diggs aren't (but i guess that's just cause he doesn't want to be)
I've found that many people are pretty bad at searching so there is a need for a thread like this to ask simple "stupid" questions and for the most part the responses have been pretty civil.sheer curiosity, how does one ~become~ a mod? not saying i care to be one because i'm a pretty flavorful person, but i'm wondering why people like diggs aren't (but i guess that's just cause he doesn't want to be)
Thank you so much. He has been a thorn in my side since his first post. I can only feed somebody literal step by step instructions on how to use google so many times.
I mean i personally talked to this kid a few days ago and told him to come to this thread to get stupid questions answered, but the way he responds to people has made me see enough. I can see about 20 different infractions. I hate banning people but enough is enough. He only got a 1 month ban, next time will be permanent.
THIS X10000No thanks. I mod another forum. It's not as fun as it looks.

So since our Fog Lights are LEDs and LEDs do not generate Heat, Is it useless during snow?
I realize it’s only July but... a bit of a Boy Scout. *shrug*

Stupid question: “Stage” means... what exactly?
I know that the higher the stage the more tuned an engine is but is it an actual industry standard spec? That is to say Brand X stage 2 and Brand Y stage 2 tuned Golfs will have the Same parts upgraded, just set up different?
Before anyone yells at me to search first, I tried. There are many many posts talking about stage this and stage that. Humor me.
Unless Cobb OTS.Yeah, stages are just industry standard levels of modification.
Stage 1 generally doesn't "require" anything besides an ECU tune, although it can certainly benefit.
Stage 2 requires a downpipe, intercooler, and colder spark plugs (most people add an intake, because it's recommended by tuners, even though it's not "necessary," just a way for tuners to milk more money out of you). This, for all intents and purposes, maxes out your OEM turbo.
There's "Stage 2+" which is the same as above but replaces the GTI turbo (IS20) with the Golf R turbo (IS38), so you get a more linear power delivery (less wheel spin in lower RPM) and more power up top.
Stage 3/3+ is aftermarket turbo replacement territory, where 400hp+ is the general range of power. Fueling upgrades, water/meth, and building the engine block are all common/generally required for this level of modification.

LEDs generate heat. The design of the grilles seems like a total snow trap though.
If it is a legitimate issue for you, you could just fab up some heated fog light grilles. No shortage of hot things in the engine bay to borrow some temp from.
