Cool. Thanks!!! I’ve already installed euro cup holder myself. Although, I didn’t have to remove the shifter for the install, I think I can follow the instruction and do it myself.

What did you do to your MK6 today?

That’s what you’re looking for. It takes a little force to pull up and off though.
PS - @Cal2000 @ACHILLES R32 one of you guys want to sell me the silver trim/clip that says ‘DSG’ and recoup some cost? Mine cracked and it looks like you can only buy the whole unit

Honestly looking at the clips I'm afraid that now mine might brake and I really want to keep a complete set it I plan to resell the old one . I sent you a pm about the part, hope that helps

Took the car for a drive today down to a friends house to do some datalogs. Pulled good in third, but wasn't able to get traction for a clean log. 4th now pulls without overboosting, but I ran into misfires on cylinder 1 around 6k. Gonna pull the plug and verify the gap on it with some new feeler gauges I got. I did get an overboost code by going about 3/4 throttle in third, and it cut out around 5500.
Overall though the car is driving good, but i'm still leaking a bit of oil from somewhere up front. Not as much as before, but i'll definitely need to find where. Almost looks like the seal on the oilpan might be bad, hoping I don't need to pull it off and reseal it which would suck, but I still need to get under it to figure out where it's coming from

Looked around under the car today. It's definitely not the separator thats looking, so thats good... kinda. I think when pressure built up in the crankcase it may have compromised the oil pan seal. I've also heard others have issues with the iabed pan sealing correctly. It's going to the shop next week to get a few things buttoned up on it, so I may just ask them to reseal the oilpan and see if that fixes it. It also looks like the upper timing cover may be leaking, so i'll probably replace that too. I did a new gasket when I assembled but it didn't seem to fit right, so i'm thinking maybe the cover itself has gotten warped a bit over time.
I also pulled the plug on cylinder 1 and the gap was ok on it, re-installed and swapped the coilpack with cyl 2 so if the misfire moves I know that's my issue. Slowly working through everything and hopefully come spring time it'll be fully tuned and ready to rip

Bought new rear calipers and rotors.
(310mm)
Unfortunately won't be upgrading them anytime soon . Waiting for my friend to upgrade his mk6 golf r front calipers first . Since I'll be buying his calipers.

Yeah that would of been tight. The silver is growing on me though. Really liked the look of the HPA but my turbo is CTS and I like their products.

Final assembly. I threw in the towel early December and towed it in. Engine is mounted and partially connected, what's left is:
- finish connecting engine
- port cleaning and install intake manifold
- reinstall cooling system
- reinstall Fluidampr
- replace fuel filter
- replace tie rods
- measure and order proper hardware for spindle to toe arm (I've ordered 3 different lengths that people have told me to order that don't fit)
- replace front left brake caliper and install all calipers
- bleed brakes
- fill and flush coolant
- flush engine oil
- reinsert gear selector shaft (if anyone knows how please hmu because my mechanic doesn't know how yet lmao)
- flush transmission oil
- install panzer plate
There's also various things that need to be torqued or properly adjusted (spindles are loose, axles are loose, and the rear end links need to be installed). And I asked him to raise the car to an inch over stock.
After I get it back I'll just have to get the bumper on, sort out some fog light headaches, and I'll be good to go. I misplaced my throttle pipe so I just ordered some ARM replacement charge pipes.
