Yoffer's Build Thread

Heres my 2012 CSG GTI with DSG. I know its a little late but i figured what the hell, i might as well make one since im on here so much lol. I bought the car back in July, so far i love it. It has the convience package. I traded in my 2012 2.5l golf for it. I really liked the golf, but when i originally got it i wanted the gti. I paid on the golf for all of 4 or 5 months and i couldnt take it anymore so i went back and got a great deal on the gti. I guess it just makes you appriciate the GTI even more. Me and my wife got new cars all at the same time, she got a 2012 Passat SE and she loves it. The coils and the wheels i swapped over immediately after bringing the gti home from the dealership.

Heres when i picked it up at the dealer.


I was real quick to throw on my ST Coilovers and wheels from my golf that i traded in.




Went to my local dealer (Eurospec) to get flashed to Revo Stg1


Shortly after i installed my awe top and boost gauge at the same time.


I also had a Godspeed v1 intercooler but i was so tired of boost leaks that i eventually took it off and just sold it. I LOVED the way it looked but after taking the front bumper off 3 times to fixed boost leaks (somehow from the motor rocking would cause the hoses to slip) i just got fed up with it.
This is what i remember of my godspeed v1 (noticed the bumper is off and im fixing leaks...)


My most recent mod is my CTS Turbo intake (great intake BTW) and the Neuspeed torque mount insert (didnt take pics of the install)



Random Nighttime Shot

Heres a blog that CTS Turbo did of my car. Bunch of great guys, easy to talk to and easy to get a hold of. Fast shipping and great product support.

I would notice a high pitched squeal coming from either the passenger side or the drivers side under boost. It wasnt enough to actually notice it on my boost gauge or cause any problems. But after i fixed the leak you could tell the squeal was gone. And then maybe a week or so later another high pitched squeal would begin again, and after taking the bumper off i could see the hoses werent staying in the position that i had put them in. I just got tired of it.

From Eurospec. Its a shop off of Phillips hwy. I do most of the work myself, but i will be going to them once i decide to go K04. Ive gone to them many times before the owner and i talk on a normal basis. Great guys and i know there are few people on here that can vouch for their work.
Heres their website.

Thanks. There is a EurpSpec in Davie too, so was just wondering.

Ive been debating. Is worth the extra $3100 +/- for the APR stage III kit over the k04? I want to go k04 because i can have a kit installed for around $2600 out the door, but im wondering if its really worth the extra cash for the stage III kit? I know some people say that they are used to the power of k04 and want more.

Not much going on, but here's a instagram photo

Been a while since i updated this thread. Havnt done much to the GTI recently, i changed the plugs in it and put a APR catback on. But heres a more recent photo of it.

Yeah with your color car that usually looks pretty sick. Cheaper than my fogs were.

A quick question, replacing your MAF sensor caused any problems?

I have a quick review, its at the top of page 3 in this thread.

But to answer your question, no i have not had any issues with my MAF in its different location. Ive been running this intake for a while (4 months) without any MAF issues.
