Note: The plan when I got it in 09 was to leave it stock, I didn’t want another money pit:” Former Corrado SLC Owner .

Although it never happened that way. then, I thought to mod it by season’s needs, that route didn’t work either.

100 Oct pic.

At this point I study:
-Get a DSG reflash in order to disable the kick down & faster shifting

-Water meth if my route eventually wouldn't include a bigger turbo, still seems to work fine with it as well. http://www.golfmk6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=41530

[Zillon]

So much for leaving it stock. :laugh:

Looks like you're off to a good start.

That hood liner... I read something about that the other day, that's the first time I've seen a photo of one. I suppose your original one was sagging?

 

[corrado917]

Thanks:w00t:.
Yes , it took me forever to start altering the car. I guess I was pre-set thinking it was about to be the same like the Corrado was. This GTI is more rewarding in that matter, and not so much love to die & hate as the 'Rado.(Money pit)But:what a car!!
As for the hood liner, I nicely told the dealer and they order and installed days after, it was very saggy and didn't came with that aluminum foil look like part on the pic.

 

[corrado917]

Cleaning the intake.

Not so much you can do with this crazy Chicago weather ,but cleaning the Modshack.

 

[Gunkata]

good stuff, Hatuey.. :w00t:

 

[corrado917]

Thanks Man!

 

[jansonchan226]

Hows the W.A.L.K?? Are there any NVH?
I am considering it before i go K04.
Did you end up getting the AWE CBE as well?

 

[corrado917]

The W.A.L.K kit is great (less wheel spin),it is a great compliment to the BFI soft insert(less wheel hop),the traction improves drastically with this two. Since you will have more power, I would definitely consider it as well. As for the AWE CBE not yet, it is on my list.

 

[corrado917]

In the works..

Waiting soon to be install..FSB :lol:
