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 again for all the info Sambb.. spoke to the exhaust guys and they reckon the gasket is reusable 99% of the time, so I've crossed my fingers and gone for it. Also spoke to prestige performance and they say all should be good with a software update. So cautiously optimistic again!

                  They're naturally aspirated, not much can be done without serious coin... buy the mkVI Golf R instead... Though the engine/exhaust note almost makes up for it.

                    Even still I could tell he knew what was under the bonnet of both cars and assumed he would have been the faster one out of the two. And I agree, the sound it was making was unreal, even at idle they have a great tone

                    • Yep agreed - they are one of the sickest sounding cars out there.

                      • S3.

                        Same engine, much cheaper (well, they're older, so cheaper by age). Looking to dump and tune mine at the end of the month.

                          It's pretty surprising what you can beat with the stage 2 and a few other basic mods

                            Agreed Dan! My mate dropped his jaw when I raced against his Magna which he has done a 3.8L Mitsubishi 380 engine conversion in. Was dead even until end of 3rd gear. And mines I guess what you would call not full stage 2 yet (I called it stage 1.5 lol) as I dont have a front mount and running lower timing. Will be good to finally get the front mount on.

                            Also my stubby antenna came today so my car no longer looks like a toy car
