~~ My challenging CW GTI build thread ~~

~~26th FEB~~


My ECU is finally in APR hands! and i got this installed, 20 mins job, removing the vent was EASY...just pushed it from the inside and it popped out!

PS couldn't test it out yet without my ECU!

Oh and my Ross tech vagcom is here too!

I really want that boost gauge...its so damn expensive though.

Either way, I'm loving your car right now, bro.

I got a good deal on it, 1 week used MINT condition and no 3 weeks wait, so i can't complain.

Looks totally OEM, i will write down a good review with video when i get my car running!

Thanks man!

UPDATE:

So mad right now...unbelievable.

Had some problems with APR, so i am using the UR Downpipe instead now!

I am thinking of picking up an intake to go with the dp and chip...this:

Hey man, that's not my photo, i was just considering the intake :thumbsup:

What was the problem?

No biggie, someone put my DP order on hold and they didn't know, probably because their servers couldn't contact with my bank for the visa payment, though Evan@APR has been really helpful emailing back and forth and fixing a major issue with my ECU being stuck in customs, so i will still deal with these guys again and again, regardless of the DP issue.

Looking good man! I came from a Acura RSX and what can i say i loved it but i thought it was time for an upgrade! How hard was the install on the boost gauge?

Thanks bro! It took about 10mins, very very simple!

I like it because you never have to worry about leaks or dealer, ect..
