    Passenger door handle (exterior) coming apart - any tips?

    Something strange has happened to my passenger side door handle a few weeks ago - the "thumb" portion (where the key could go, if our passenger side doors were keyed) began to separate from the assembly: The whole thing is holding together alright, but it all seems very fragile... I would...

    Pulley Pictorial - Stock vs. ECS vs. Fluidampr

    I recently installed a Fluidampr pulley and thought I'd take a minute to share some thoughts on stock vs. ECS lightweight vs. Fluidampr. The first aftermarket pulley I tried was from ECS. This pulley is much lighter than stock, but it is the same size - it isn't an under-drive pulley. I...

    VCDS Weirdness - No Timing Advance?

    I just ran a log of Block 020 to see what timing looks like post-water/meth install and had really bizarre readings... I didn't think the software was even reading properly because it continuously showed 0 degrees, so I did a full log on the way to the store. I've got four rows of 0's, except...

    Hub Centric Ring Help

    Quick question guys. My friend bought a 2012 Audi Q5 Premium Plus and immediately threw a new set of wheels on it. I picked up his stock wheels and want to put them on my '07 GTI. The wheels are 18" (I believe OE tire size was 235/60-18) and same bolt pattern as my GTI, but the hubs on my...

    V-Band Clamps (Exhaust Q)

    Can V-Band clamps be tightened enough to prevent rotations of the constituent parts of an exhaust system? I recently picked up a Eurojet catback and I'm having an issue with a long stretch of it rotating and hanging lower than I would like. I feel like it could use an added hanger, but I...

    So You Want to Run a FMIC, but Leaving the Stock IC in there Bugs You?

    We all know there are three options for upgrading you intercooler: replace the stock unit with a S3/Eurojet/APR "OEM upgrade", disconnect the stock intercooler and run something like a BSH or Neuspeed dedicated FMIC, or use a "twin cooler" system like Forge or Godspeed to utilize a FMIC core as...

    Boost Leak - Not DV, Not PCV

    My girlfriend recently picked up a 2006 DSG MKV GTI (to match my 2007). The car recently began to throw CEL, which a Vagcom scan blamed on a boost problem (it said to check the DV). The car she bought came with an aftermarket Forge DV, so we ditched that part and installed a Rev D stock unit...

    My Revo Stage 1 Review

    I got my car flashed to Revo Stage 1 a few days ago - I thought I would take a moment to throw up my initial impressions. My car has few mods right now - only a BSH TrueSeal intake and BSH/Forge DV Relocation. I had the shop set the tune as aggressively as possible for 93 octane - about an...

    Installed Boost Gauge - Couple Questions

    I just installed a "center vent" New South Performance boost gauge, but I ran into some trouble. First, does anyone have any tips for removing the "front trim face" from the vent assembly? I was able to peel it open wide enough to get the gauge mount piece inside, but it's not lined up 100%...

    BSH DV Relocation - A Review, Complaints, Questions

    This is a VERY preliminary review - I have a grand total of 30 miles on this kit, but I have some comments about the design and questions that will no doubt be persistent. My GTI came with a rev C DV, and I wanted to switch to a "better" setup to avoid trouble downrange. I already have the BSH...
