Mk7 Golf R Discussion Thread

[hainsey]

Go fast bits finally arrived today, intake and boost tap.

Only fitted the intake as I have to find a way of routing the boost tubing into the cabin somehow :/ if anyone has any tips, please let me know??

But back to the intake, this thing is insane, no real noticeable power gains measured by just driving it but the sound is just as I imagined if not better, disconnected the soundaktor to make it more noticeable and wow, an exhaust system would really compliment this.
coming into high rpm, induction sound is amazing and can really hear the turbo when you let off. WICKED COOL

Jonoz i cant quote anyone for some reason 'message is too short' but for you
This was just a quick photo whilst driving. This is showing psi at the moment.

Like others say its more a novelty item but i love how this looks OEM

Ow and on another note i cant wait to be able to go stage 2 last night was playing around on a highway with an m3 and r35 GTR and me and the 35 put a couple of car lengths on the m3 quickly whilst myself and the GTR dead even well up into the high end of the speedo .
I now know the owner of the GTR and he wants to buy an R as his daily now haha

Thanks mate, I bought a $6 bluetooth dongle and the Torque app for $4.95 to see how much I would potentially get out of it for now

Mk7 APR Boost gauge!!

Hey guys

Have recently bought the Boost Tap from Apr and in anticipation for the release of the gauge I was wondering if anyone had hooked up a different gauge to their boost tap and if so, where did you route the boost tubing etc. any help would be great.

Thanks in advance

Talking of goodies, my R centre caps arrived today (along with air caps and R key ring- all good quality btw, thanks for the Aliexpress tip Jonoz)- anyone know the best way to change them over?

Hey, has anyone posted anything from the latest Motor Magazine Australia? The article is on best bang for your buck performance cars from $50 - $100k, and the Golf R is in the top 21, then top 8, but I won't spoil it for you beyond that. Trying to work out how to post photos... Hopefully soon.

Can you tell us what they did? I have the same issue. Took it in last week, road tested with one of their crew and they heard the noise. Had it for a few hours and called me to tell me some clips were broken or missing and that some hose was loose and that was causing the noise. They fixed it up and said the noise was gone... drove out of the lot and still have the noise... anyone able to help out?

Hey everyone, I've had a vibration noise coming out of my golf for a while and they finally fixed. Said it was a loose/rattling fuel line that would vibrate in low revs as I was decelerating/braking so they insulated all around it and finally that stupid vibration noise is gone!!! Sounded to me like it was in the door but was in the chassis below me. Anyways, if anyone here still has the noise I had, get it checked out and should be an easy fix
