    BSH Silicone Throttle body pipe pops off

    Hey guys I have a stage 2 + MKV GTI with the BSH throttle body pipe installed. It was working flawlessly for about 2 years, now the silicone pipe that connects to the pipe continues to pop off under boost. I've tried cleaning it, putting different clamps on it, in the end it always comes off...

    Boost leak BSH pipe

    Currently I'm stage 2+ with snow performance w/m injection in the bung of the BSH throttle bottle pipe. Right now I have the w/m turned off because I am having some issues. My boost gauge stays at 14 psi on WOT, then slowly looses some boost down to about 11 psi. I used to be at about 20-22 psi...

    New South Boost Gauge Needle Not Moving

I just noticed this morning that the boost gauge needle doesn't move at all, it usually does a full rotation whenever I start the car. Even when I drive it doesn't move, just stays a little bit under zero. I checked the tap to see...

    Mkv Snow water/meth kit question

    So just today I had my stage 2 snow water/meth kit installed on my mkv gti by a euro tuning shop. The pump itself isn't supposed to be on if the car is off right? Or is there some setting on the maf controller that is turning the pump on? I took a look at the wiring diagram, the pump needs to...

    EPC light and Power steering light.

    On occasion when I try to start my car it wont turn over. On the 3rd try it will start right up, then the epc light and power steering light stay on. After I drive for awhile they go away. Any thoughts?

    APR stage 2+ poor gas mileage

Checked the tire pressure its all good, no CEL, 93 octane gas. Even before I chipped I could only get...

    So yesterday I installed the eurosport catback onto my ATP downpipe. It utilizes only 2 grommets in the rear, and one in the center by the downpipe.

    Car stereo theft

    So recently some ***s decided to break my GTI's driver side window and rip out my in dash touch screen stereo. Insurance covered it, but the new one I had in stalled doesn't have a pop off face plate. I ended up buying a fake stereo face plate off ebay, hopefully that deters some low life scum...
