My dumbass question is did VW put "DSG" badges on mkv's or did this guy I saw today badge it himself?

Like on the shift knob or on the exterior of the car?

Installed a WALK. Got alignment checked and it was good. Is this normal? I didn't get the alignment done since it wasn't needed.

Guy had a "DSG" badge on the right side of the trunk opposite the GTI badge.

I have a question I've been wondering about this. What exactly is a WALK?

I know a few guys with mkv dsg gti's and they don't have that badge.. it's probably personally done just like the mk* badges.

it should be fine because you're not adjusting the subframe or anything

Hello everyone! I have an SPM pendulum mount with the torque insert sitting in a box next to me and need to know if it is alright to swap the OEM pendulum mount with the SPM without doing the other two engine mounts? I read a thread somewhere that said energy follows path of least resistance and it may cause premature damage, etcetera? I plan on getting the other mounts in the future (hopefully by end of summer) and I know I am doing the torque insert at least, but I figure if I'm already under the car I might as well do the whole thing....which brings me to another question....does the engine need to be supported by a jack and a block of wood when I'm switching the insert or is that just for the mount?

That should be fine. You will be transferring more stress to other components, but that is what all suspension/stiffening mods do... for the insert, i'm fairly certain all you need is lube and a rubber mallet to get that fker in.
