    Caliper Piston Damage

    Long story short, I found these Passat 4-Motion calipers through an online junkyard and decided it was too good of a deal to pass up on. Anyway, the calipers only have 18k miles on them and everything seemed to be in excellent shape upon arrival. Well yesterday, I finally had a little time to...

    R32 Brake Update - TyrolSport Swap Over?

    Pretty much as the title states, just wondering if the MKV FWD TyrolSport caliper pin kit is a direct swap over to the MKV R32 brake set-up? I'm guessing they are slightly different seeing as TyrolSport offers different links for each on their website, but I just wanted to confirm. Dan or...

    WTB: OEM XM Satellite Tuner for MFD2 ("E" or later suffix)

    As the title states, looking for a OEM XM satellite tuner in good condition. Doesn't matter if the three month subscription has been used or not. The unit has to be compatible with the factory MFD2 navigation system and TPMS and needs to have both the brown and green plug connections.

    DIY: Build your own Adjustable Front Sway Endlinks

    Sorry for the delay on the picture detailing the comparison between the OEM endlink and these. As you can see, the custom DIY endlink is just a hair larger in diameter; however, without the stress from preloading the sway bar, these endlinks have held up remarkably well thus far. All four ball...

    APR stage 1 vs stage 2 vs stage 2+ vs K04!!

    Great thread! I wish I had done something similar when I began upgrading and moving through stages. Well done sir! :thumbsup: With APR's K04 file, they control boost before 4k RPM to help eliminate compressor surge due to the torque/boost spikes at low RPM (see circled part of K04 dyno...

    Oddball WTT: VF Side Engine Mount for BFI Stage II Side Engine Mount

    I know this is a long shot, but I figured I would see if anyone out there wanted to trade their BFI stage II side engine mount for my VF Engineering side engine mount? Mine currently has ~21k miles on it and is still in pristine condition (just needs a quick cleaning). I would be looking for a...

    Rear Breather Hose Diameter

    Can anyone with an extra breather hose or valve cover inform me of the hose diameter needed to connect these two pieces together? Ever since my k04 install, this hose has been just a hair too short for my liking and I figured I would go ahead and grab a slightly longer replacment. Any help is...

    WTB: Rear Coilover Perches

    As the title states, I need a set of rear coilover spring perches ASAP. I just installed another set of coilovers and for the second time in as many brands, I need the rear to be raised more than the current perches allow. From what I remember, the rear Koni perches allow for quite a bit of...

    034 Motorsports (INA) Dogbone Insert

    I know this piece has been covered a couple of times, but I haven't seen anyone report back on the mount after extended periods of time. So, I realize that a new engine mount is going to create vibration (my BFI stage II transmission insert was nuts at first), but after time everything usually...

    FS: New PowerFlex FSI Torque Arm Insert ($20 shipped)

    SOLD As the title states, I have a brand new PowerFlex FSI torque arm insert (dogbone insert) for sale. As you can see from the pics, this insert actually fills in more of the OEM rubber insert (found in the subframe) than every other insert on the market (except for the 034 complete bushing...

    Bioshock Infinity and Motion Picture

    Thoughts? I really enjoyed the first two...the original a little more than the sequal. I'm really intrigued to see what the motion picture is all about, too. Anyone else here a Bioshock fan?

    VW GTI 2.0T FSI REVO Stage II+ with a blown dv?

    Definitely a boost leak...everything else looks okay. Your timing advance should improve slightly once the leak is fixed and the ECU isn't maxing out the turbo to meet the requested values. FYI, overall timing advance is based on the secondary y-axis on graph 2.

    Front Suspension CLUNK Resolved ***DIY***

    Technically, if you were to implement a shorter endlink on a coilover strut with the OEM mounting location, you would inherently worsen this issue. Take a look at this pic below... This is a very crude example with on the OEM suspension, but it will depict the explanation. The red line...

    DIY: Build your own Adjustable Front Sway Endlinks

    All parts can be found at www.MidwestControl.com. I found the MWC website through another car forum where members built their own adjustable endlinks with good success (would post the link, but I haven't been able to find it). Thus, I decided to see how/if a similar endlink design for our cars...

    Front Sway Bar Orientation and End Link Length

    Well, I'm kind of a suspension noob, so I was hoping that some of the more insightful people on here could provide a little assistance. First, can someone explain the optimum orientation of how the front sway bar should sit with the suspension under load? I've read that the end link...
