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,

      Thanks to a couple of forum members for their pre-loved bits going into my build.

      • That looks like the same dogbone insert I had on my 8v s3, still got it sitting in the drawer in the garage, might have to bung it in the Tig for ****s and giggles.

          There's 2 versions of the mount. You just have to get under and check which one you have.

          Here’s what my stock mount looks like.

                    You and me both.

                    It’s been a little while coming but hopefully the wait is worth it.

                      It absolutely is the best thing. Daily driving is so much better imo. Squeeze the throttle, boost comes on, lifts the front of the car and nekkminnit you're doing 180km/h running out of road.

                        Daily drivability is high on my list. Along with chopping WRXs and Skylines. Seriously though I’d consider putting it down the 1/4 mile once I get some decent tyres on.

                          Pics look promising. Did you change your spark plugs? Have they finished all the hardware install? Why did they remove the drive shaft? Tuning today? I’m interested in the hybrid performance for the 1/4 mile time and 0-100.

                            Spark plugs will likely need to be changed. Not sure if they’ve been done or if they’re going to send if the stock plugs can go the distance.

                            Unfortunately the workshop had hit a bit of a hurdle with the VIS HPFP as they don’t have the tool to do the install as it wasn’t in with the kit.
