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,

  • Got myself some new rims



    Yes I know they are Tempe specials and aren't uber expensive awesomeness, but work paid for them so I am pretty damned happy.

    As an aside Tempe tyres has improved out of site since I last visited them 3-4 years back shopping for wheels for my wife's car. Very impressed with the service

          So they are a little more stretched given its the same tyre width on a 0.5 inch larger rim.

          We'll see how they go over the next couple months, and if I'm not happy with them I'll just make some adjustments to my driving style to ensure I can get some new rubber in the next few months

                        • Played around with my Diverter Valve, had it fully venting.
                          Car seemed to idle a bit funny but apart from that it was boosting about a extra 2psi
                          Nice and loud, good fun, but will be annoying listening to it everyday

                                Being 18's I think that the guards will need to be rolled, and also looking for a way to get some neg camber and still maintain shock clearance. Backs will be a challenge but if I can pull it off it will be a win.
