i had heard that thge dsg box is only good for 360nm torque (??!!). can anyone confirm (or hopefully deny) this?

[GoLfMan]

yes in fact the dsg cant take much more than 360, but the MK5 R32 one can tke 380nm :twisted:

[mad_gti]

Does anyone know how strong the manual box is.

I am looking into ordering it at the moment, but cant find any details on the strength of the manual.

Gooday! I have a mk 5 gti that I have upgraded with the APR mod. It can be fitted via the internet with an APR dealer. No need to remove the computor or anything like that. You can have a free 6 hr. test to see what its like. Another beauty is that it is switchable so if you have to return the car for warranty, a simple press on the cruise control button can put it back to std. I have the std program, 95 octane program & 98 octane program. In the 98 oct program you get an extra 44 kws & 411 nm. of torque in the lower rev range. Takes very little time to do this mod & the advantages are huge!!!! The traction control works overtime.
the DSG boxes limit via computors the amount of torque that the gearbox will take on take off. Apparently no probs with them yet.
My gti is a manual. Check out, www.goapr.com Awesome performance, well worth it. Makes a great car better!!!!

Its a pity your in Tassie , Seems so many APR gti owners here in Sydney dont want to come out and race at WSID with me .

Hey! The GTI goes SOOO much better now the weather has cooled right down. Didn't think it would make that much difference. Nearly took my Mk1 to the mainland to do some sprints tho I have sold the 9A out of it.

Thats because you beat them I recon

[Bug_racer]

Thats probably true . Be prepared for a showdown between Giac stage 3 and APR stage 3 at the end of this year . I'll be heading to Queensland to race

New Golf GTi owner and forum member

Hi everyone,
I'm the proud owner of a new black GTi, about a week old. Had a question about connecting an ipod and have been looking for a forum such as this. Does anyone know if this is possible so that it operates via the general stereo controls. Just wondering what make of sound system it is as that may give a clue as to what may work. I also have a Subaru 3.0RB which I've connected the ipod up to via a Clarion piece of kit.
Cheers and look forward to to being a part of this forum..

G'day and welcome!

You've joined our growing cohort of Mk5 owners. I believe the ipod mod. is now available. Not sure if it plugs directly into the stereo.

Gooday Doggie. Welcome to the forum. I am out to find out about the ipod. Have heard it is available very shortly if not already. Good to have another Mk5 GTI owner on the forum. Great car, are you happy with yours so far?

[Jettinabout]

I read on the weekend that the ipod modification is due out this week. Not sure of the info though.

[Doggie]

Thanks for the warm welcome. Feel a bit guilty actually as I only had it a week and have already had a APR Stage 1 change loaded. Cost me $1,800 but absolutely worth the money as she pulls like a train now!
Called Barloworld yesterday to ask about iPOD and they confirmed that the part and fitting is available. Will call them back shortly and let you guys know.
I love this car - I had an E46 M3 for 2 years and have to say the GTi is as much fun, possibly more and at a third the price!
Cheers

Hey Doggy, are you going to the GTI thing at Sandown next month. See you there if you are! About 50 GTIs going I think. Will be a top day and the biggest gathering of Mk5 GTIs and Polos in Anstralia so far. Cheers, and enjoy that reflash!
