    Need a stock K03 ASAP

    I've noticed a crack in the outlet portion of the turbo in dealing with my DP issues. Would like to get a replacement ASAP. Who has one laying around that I can take off your hands? I've seen 'em as low as $100 but of course never jumped on one. Pickup in CA would be great.

    AWE DP flange welds broke - anyone else?

    I have now re-welded every weld in my AWE TBE. A few months ago, I removed the cat back portion and found several welds were failing. Before that, I went through 2 resonators for the welds failing on them. In the last few weeks, I've been noticing louder than average exhaust sound, and now more...

    Pinging during normal driving. Causes?

    The last few days I have noticed that my engine is starting to ping slightly. I've noticed it under the following circumstances: Under a slight load, but before boost comes in. Once I begin to boost, I can spike 21psi with no issue or pinging. 5th gear going about 1800-2000 rpm - slightly...

    Broken wires in hatch wiring harness - Entire hatch dead

    For the last few days, I have been getting bulb failure warnings for both reverse lights. At the same time, the hatch also stopped opening. I was hoping for some sort of bad ground and in a way I guess that's what I have. I have had the car for 3 years this month and its nearly at 100k. Hatch...

    BSH 27mm Rear Sway Bar Review

    I figured there would be a few posted up here already, I didn't see any so here are my comments. This bar is big and heavy. I had the OEM, Neuspeed and BSH next to eachother. The BSH is easily the weight of the other two combined. I've been looking for a larger rear bar for a while, this fits...

    Need an explanation for power cut

    Recently, on a few occasions, I have noticed a loss in power at times. It isn't a boost leak, it feels like I'm just not pressing the accelerator down all the way. 90% of time it is when shifting into 3rd after WOT through 1st and 2nd. I am unsure what exactly fuel cut feels like but I think...

    Such odd timing for my DV to fail

    My car has 45K on it, never been chipped. After all the issues I had with spec's clutch and flywheel, I finally got my new VF clutch/flywheel installed (MUCH better than spec's BTW) I have been driving my car very easy with no WOT while breaking in the new clutch. Yesterday while driving, I...

    Milltek TBE $850 OBO

    Trying to sell this Milltek TBE system again. This time, price reduced. It is a non-res system that was on the car for about two months. System is in perfect shape, just too big to fit a hitch with it. Price is now $850 + shipping. Trying to get rid of fast...

    For those w/ Firestone alignments

    Have you had any issues with them being able to correct front camber? I swapped my FSB back to stock on Saturday and wanted to get it aligned. I know the toe is all out of whack at the least. I headed down to the Firestone Service center and got the lifetime alignment. First tech simply didn't...

    Need Part # for Axle Shield Below Turbo - Pic Inside

    Apparently, the shop that replaced my flywheel forgot to tighten the bolts that hold this shield on. It fell off about a week ago and I am worried that the heat from the turbo may get a little much for the CV boot. We are approaching the 100's and have a couple auto-crosses planned. Dealer...

    Need some Vag-com help w/ cent elec

    FS - Vogtland Coilovers

    I am selling my vogtland coilovers. I just couldn't deal without having compression adjustment and have just upgraded to KW v3's. They have about 800 miles on them and look brand new. The kit, although branded as Vogtland is actually the following: Front - KW v2's with Vogtland springs. (note...

    WTT - Milltek TBE for AWE or $$$

    I am trying to install a hitch on my GTI and am slowly realizing that the easiest way to allow everthing to work is to get rid of the Milltek. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it, other than fitment issues with my hitch. I am looking to trade flat out for an AWE metal TBE. If you have...

    FS - VF Engineering Engine and Tranny Mounts

    I have the engine and tranny mounts available. The engine mount is brand new in box. I had the tranny mount installed when the LSD and other goodies went in. I removed it two days later. The lightweight flywheel noise is simply unbearable for a daily driver, these mounts have to go. Tranny mount...
