The great big MK6 Golf 118TSI tuning thread

[Guy_H]

Stuck some duct tape on there (wrapped around a few times) and the resulting performance was obviously better, but the sound 20x worse. Imagine trying to play a gum-leaf as some sort of kazoo (instrument) but much higher pitched and way louder. Undid that solution and will bear having the leak for one more day. Only gotta go to the train station and back tomorrow.

Sound clip please

Too late - but feel free to slit a cut into your charged air pipe and wrap duct tape around it if you're really curious

Does anyone know if these silicone hoses would suit the 118 TSI? (closest mention is the 1.4 Polo GTI). Bear in mind I'm changing the intercooler soon (Audi S3) if that has any implications.

Quick question for Brendan - did you have to re-gas your aircon after installing your intercooler?

No, the AC condenser was moved out of the way enough to remove the intercooler.

Any news on the apr intake guy?

The test fit was OK (Carbonio), a few minor tweaks & we should have it in production. A pre production version is sitting in our office if you are over this way!

Music to my ears! Looking forward to freeing up the air flow into engine again!

I'd be interested to hear how the unit sounds vs stock?

I just got a my new Jetta with a cavd 118 tsi engine. Looked thru the manual but there were no instructions on how to break in the engine. Is this normal with golfs as well? I would like to know what to do and what not to do.

There's a thread for that in the Mk6 Golf section.

Anyone else thrown in anymore goodies?

Had my Twincharged MK6 Golf on the Dyno today. Pretty happy with the results.
