    oem R32 muffler on GTI

    Hi guys! I have searched everywhere and can't get a definitive answer! Would an oem R32 muffler fit a mk5 gti? I believe the oem R32 muffler has some valve on the right hand side exhaust tip which would have to be removed?

    Fitting a tsi k03 to an fsi k03

    Has anyone fitted a IHI k03 as found on the TSI's to an FSI motor? I can get one for a great price. Only concern is the tsi turbo doesn't have a rear pcv port like the fsi turbo has so one needs to work around that. The ihi turbo's boost quite high safely and am more efficient than the k03 one...

I have replaced all boostpiping and swopped intake, I have even pressure tested the system and I have ZERO leaks anywhere. I have fitted a...

    How do my logs look?

    What's left to do?

I have done the following: *S3 cooler *Evoms k04 intake with heatshields *3" dp ending in R32 rear exhaust *WMI *NGK...

    Control arm bushings.

    Hi guys! With my car up on a lift the other day I noticed some tears in the rubber of my control arm bushes. Do I replace with OEM again or is there anything better out there? I had a look at powerflex but they seem too harsh.

    Need some info on my exhaust. I have a 3" dp leading to the stock resonator and then after that a Y piece with 2x 2" freeflow boxes for the R32 rear. My question is, is it work it to take the stock resonator out and replace it with a 2.5" freeflow box?

    evoms vs typhoon

    Hi guys! I have a k&n typhoon on my car and have been really happy with it so far. Had a look at an evoms and it looks really impressive. Is the inner diameter of the piping bigger on the evoms? Is it overall a much better intake than the k&n?

    Throttle pipes

    Hey guys! Just wanted to find out, is there a negative side to installing a bsh throttle pipe? Saying that i'm referring to airflow around the MAP sensor? I know the benefits are better throttle response, the car feels better higher up in the rev range and overall it flows more grams per second.
