Unfortunately he sold the car but I'd love to find another Stage 3+ Golf R to run. AWD vs. FWD.

I'm not at all familiar with the DQ500, would it go to JR or Ryan?

Ready to race!
Not sure on the supporting mods but this is a good example that you don’t need to get crazy with your car and attempt to make 700hp out of a gti

But muh dyno numbers...
It is the 7 speed DSG from the Audi RS3. It is also considered to be VERY strong. Cost of trans must be quite high and ideally you would use both TVS engine and trans tune, they work together. My guess is that just purchase of the trans would be over 10K, add in the cost of installation and the software and you are up around 15K. Hell of a nice upgrade.

This may be a dumb question but I figured this is the most knowledgeable place to ask it:
Are most of you big turbo guys still running the stock turbo heat shield? I assume not but I'm curious how you support the stage 2 portion of the intake? Custom bracket that picks up the heat shield mount points to the head?
For context, I'm installing a K04 and want to leave the heat shield off. To manage heat I have a turbo blanket and will heat wrap the downpipe from flange to flex joint.
Thoughts? Don't flame me, I know K04 isn't big turbo, but the question is relevant to you all.

Yes, OEM heat shield. I think everyone anchors their stage 2 pipes off the OEM bracket that’s there.

anybody that installed a beetle MWS 6sp tranny ever get the gearing indicator mess worked out?

Nope. My understanding is there’s a table in the ecu that would need altering. Nobody wants to put the time in to figure it out. You’d essentially need a beetle MWS 6sp ecu and compare the tables and update accordingly. There’s also the fact that one is Siemens and one is Bosch, so the language/architecture may be too different to translate from one to the other.
