I'm pricing out the hardware and installations of the GTX 2867R and rods and Pistons. I'm considering using Independent Tuning or APS to do the work. Anyone have the stage 3 kit installed? I'd be interested to get some details... Who you went with, cost, etc. Thanks!!

After many track days and frustration w FWD and not wanting to spend more on her.. I'm considering selling my GTI and picking up a 02' Boxster S. My question: I have 75,000 KMs on my car so still fairy "young" but have so many mods (check my signature for some of the list). I don't have...

Thought I'd share a couple of "kill" vids.. Two E90 M3's I pushed out of the way at the track last week: https://youtu.be/bL_ejKWSuD0 https://youtu.be/yg_MG8LpsIc

I've spent lots of time and money modding my car and am currently considering my control arm options: - SuperPro control arm kit - Powerflex black series bushings on oem control arms - H2sport control arm spherical bearing kit - TT control arms - H2sport control arm spherical bearing kit +...

I haven't heard any updates to maps I thought APR was working to enhance. I thought they were doing work on K04 mapping. There hasn't been a lot of love for APR on these boards lately as DM seems to be stealing the spotlight but before I surrender my investment in APR and jump ship to DM (who...

I have the pre RSC, APR TBE Stealth (aka BillyBoat) exhaust. I've been hearing a rattle from 1200- 3000 RPM under load. It's embarrasing. Today while under the car, I started hitting the pipe just before the final muffler between the resonator and muffler and I was able to replicate the...

I have been using W/M for two years now but have never done anything to maintain it. It was set and forgotten. I use tap water for the mix and now starting to worry that at some point the nozzle will clog with mineral deposits and since I'm running the 100 oct map..... I fear spray failure. But...

I'm just curious... Have done three track days with my car. I put fresh oil in car before the track days but should I be changing the oil afterwards? I also bring oil and top it up before leaving track but then wait the normal 5000 kms before changing. Thanks for your thoughts!

Hey guys- I was just curious what the GTI benchmark is at Cayuga! I posted a PB of 1 min 26.28 seconds this Fall: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrzl_26MOfw&feature=youtube_gdata_player Please post your lap times!

Ever wonder what the visual difference is between K04 + suspension versus a bone stock GTI? .... It's literally night and day!: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIT0h3stdF4&feature=plcp

I was testing new suspension at the track last weekend when a WRX coaxed me into a race: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rz8GDWIinXo&feature=plcp

This turbo has 32,000 KM.. Swapped out for K04.. Perfect condition and shipping in K04 box. $300 Thanks for any interest.

I have taken my car to H2Sport for all $12000 of mods I've done to my car. H2Sport has decided to get out of the service business and is focusing on parts development. I checked out the recommended shops and tried Precision Tuning to put on TyrolSport collars. Went yesterday and not only was...

I was at a new shop yesterday (my regular shop closed). While putting in collars on subframe, the mechanic pointed out the bracket was broken. Said it needs to be replaced and that my down pipe was at risk of breaking since it's holding the weight of the exhaust. I ordered the new part ($38...

I need to replace my subframe bolts. It clunks like a MoFo when I turn hard, accelerate hard or stop hard. I can sometimes even feel the clunk as if my front end is going to pull apart from the back half of the car. Drives me nuts. Anyone try the ECS subframe bolt and shim fix? Or the...

The R had a Unitronic tune and was six days old.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMOqR2h83nc

SUMMARY: Significant power over K03 Little to no noticeable turbo lag over the K03 Nice audible, throatier exhaust note I had my K04 installed a month ago. I used all APR goods and went to my regular shop: H2Sport. Read reviews about my other mods here: http://trackdaytuners.com/ My initial...

I had a misfiring issue that appeared after getting my K04 installed three weeks ago. I never had the issue before but not sure if it’s just coincidence. One cylinder was misfiring but only under load. Took to the shop last Thursday and they figured out it was a faulty coil pack on cylinder...

I have a new k04 installed with apr software. I got a MIL code last night and vagcom showed it was due to misfire. I have a stock intake and all else you can see in my signature. I ran a log this morning on the way to work. I don't feel any hesitation in the operation of my car. You would...

Hi- So I put in a K04 last week. I've been having timing pull on 100 oct based on some logs I ran earlier this week. I put the car into 93 mode and have been driving easy this week. Looking to do more testing on the weekend. This evening, I got a MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) and this is...
