Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

      Wow! What does the Euro make on the dyno? I take it it's a K24A3?

      I used to own a CL9 - absolutely loved it. Not as much as my GTI though.

          Crikey, that must be a challenge getting the power down. I can understand why you're looking at something AWD. Did you do the full build yourself?

          Any modding plans if you get yourself an R? You might find a stocker a bit lacking in urge (if not outright acceleration numbers) after 350fwhp. Of course stage 1 (software only) tunes are just around the corner for the Mk7 R, and they should deliver 280+kw at the fly, good enough for a flat/low-4s 0-100 and well into the 12s for the quarter.
