awesome, I will check that out tonight. thank you!

I will take a log later today and send it. I did email Alex at stratified Im still just waiting on a reply about the tune. feels good driving though and AFR seems to be ok according to my AP. I know oil pressure has been discussed countless times but I have yet to find any solid info regarding...

finally had some time to work on the GTI and its back together and driving, I found a tapped banjo bolt from ECS so I have a gauge to see what the turbo is getting for oil pressure. not sure what specs are but I noticed the turbo was seeing about 7psi less than the oil filter housing at cold...

I have an IE K04 now ready to go it.

update: finally got around to pulling the turbo. I havnt taken off the compressor housing to look at the wheel, exhaust wheel felt pretty good though. Im not able to find any restrictions with the oil or cooling lines so I dont believe it was an over heat or oil starvation issue that I can tell...

yeah Ill have a bit of cleaning up to do for sure. and yes they use a modified Borgwarner I believe. they put together a nice kit thats easy enough to install. Im hoping APR will help given its still pretty much a new turbo. hell the box for it is still sitting on the shelf in my garage. if...

happy Friday everyone! about to kick off the weekend and spring is almost here... and my turbo is SMOKED!!! thought Id drive it to work today since its pretty nice where Im at today. heard a bit of a whining noise, thought Id look at it when I get to work (only 15 minute drive) got it up on a...

Id bet wastegate, I brought mine in for the a rattle at the same location a while ago. they said it was my Cobb DP. swapped it with a new unit and still was there. when I upgraded to the K04 I checked and sure enough wastegate flap had some play. you should be able to take the DP off and feel...

Ill definitely check the pick up tube. I plan to replace the tensioner regardless eventually and might just put new balance shafts anyway for piece of mind and same with the oil pump at the same time since its all apart anyway would be the time to do all of that. itll be a little bit before I...

Looking for suggestions and recommendations on everything I need to rebuild the engine in my 11 GTI. Its been having oil pressure warning only once in a while but this last week every day and today several times. Mostly just under 1500 RPM. I replaced the oil pressure sensor not long ago, oil is...

I do plan on keeping the car for a while. I ordered the that service kit from urotuning. hoping that over boost deal is related. just bought a house so I cant afford any more BS lol

I see urotuning has a injector service kit with all 4 injectors with seals and gaskets for TB and manifold. Think it would be beneficial to do all the injectors too rather than just the obvious bad one?

So I was driving my car on the highway yesterday not aggresively. Started to shudder and engine light started flashing. Ok cool. Got home my laptop wont keep a charge to check VCDS (like I know how to even use it) my access port has codes for overboost and cyl 1 misfire. Found cylinder 1 full of...

Ive had a few from fitment industries and they have alot of options it looks like. many lately seem to be back ordered though, customer service for me has been on point too.

haha yea without my front bumper on at the moment and primer fenders it looks pretty jaloppy. I had to stretch the hell out of the silicone that it came with to fit on the outlet pipe. I had another silicone, just too lazy to swap it out until this happened. new one fit 1000X better.

this past weekend I was on my way home and come up on a challenger r/t at a light. I get into the next lane and light turns green so he takes off and I figure this is the first "performance" car Ive had a chance to play with since I went K04, so I get after it a bit and as Im reeling him in and...

same, run an oil pressure test to see what where its at. mines after I bank left coming off the highway and the only thing I havent tried is the oil pump. I cant imagine its a bearing issue if theres no glitter in the oil.

thanks for the info. Ill check them out! I tried this first and lets just say. no. hahah. it turned out awful

Ive been looking for a black replacement VW badge and so far Ive ordered one from Ebay that ended up ended up still being chrome and one from Etsy that it just a stick on smoked cover. I see another one on Ebay but the reviews are saying poor fit. is there a reputable shop or site anyone knows...

no experience with DG springs but Ohlins makes a damn fine product. depending on how you want it to ride coilovers tend to be a bit stiffer but the adjustability is nice. I have H&R street SS on mine and they are awesome but its rough where Im at. Id be interesting to know how the Ohlins coils do.
