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.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • mk6 r Checklist for Stage 2+

    Hi

    Here are the parts I have purchased for a stage 2+ tune on my newly purchased MK6 Golf R. Car has done 70 thousand km's and is stock only one owner, was hard to find a low k one here in Perth no leather seats or sunroof was the only trade off. Pre purchase was done on the car found one error code, dealership replaced fuel pump and carbon cannister all seems good since then.

    Purchased Parts So Far:

    Autotech HPFP
    DSG and Haldex service done
    Timing belt, coolant change and new water pump done
    Wagner Competition intercooler
    VW Racing Intake
    Xforce Downpipe-will keep stock cat back for now to keep stealthy
    Tarmac Eng. FPRV
    GFB Diverter valve+
    New Cam Follower
    New spark plugs
    T2 Rotors and pad change done

    Etuners Tune Stage 2+ and DSG Tune

    I have some questions before proceeding

    Do I need new R8 coil packs?
    Do I need new fuel rail or injectors?
    Should I be getting a turbo inlet pipe since I am doing the intercooler?
    Should I change the connecting rods and pistons?
    Should I get a new Pressure Relief valve & gasket kit?
    Should I be replacing the intake manifold gasket ?



    Id really appreciate if any experienced users/owners can give me any advice if I need to do anything else or if Iv'e left anything out.

    Pic of my car after I painted the calipers and had some dents removed and curb rash on rims repaired and resprayed.


    Thanks in advance.

    Yes to coil packs. No power gain but the stock ones are prone to failure.
