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,

        hi michael, i have the same car as you

        just a question - are you running a boost gauge? because i know the GTI boys love their bigger dump pipes / exhausts etc, but i know on tdiclub there's a lot of talk of boost creep/ boost spikes/ blown turbos, when the vnt15 (bv/kp39 in our cars) is mated to larger diameter dump pipes.

        if i'd been able to find any dyno benefit from having panel filter + dump pipe, i would have done it LONG ago, however according to discussion in the context of vnt15's, it seemed like there were longevity issues.

                  hey greg! nah i'm not in aus at the moment, not getting back for perhaps another fortnight or so. if i was, i'd come on the economy run for sure.

                  i'll be getting back in early-mid august, so i'll definitely be looking to catch up, as well as re-learning how to drive my car (havent driven at all up here - no foreigners do, because they're seen on the roads as rolling cash machines - if you're a local, swerve into a foreigner's car on the road and you'll be printing money till the cows come home, and the dirty cops will see to it, too).

                    Yeah Kumho Ku36 Cost me just under 1k to get. Rang around everywhere and it was the best i could get. I would have bought online but with shipping i thought i may as well support a local business. This is 1 of the few things i have purchased over the past couple of days. On the way is downpipe and high flow cat. Got some rims for free atm they are in getting sandblasted so i can paint them. Good fun spending $$$

                            Somehow, I'm not surprised, even if the car sits a bit higher. I'm sure you'll enjoy them even more when you do a good mountain or coastal run with them

                              • New brake pads (oh ceramic!), they don't squeal like the cheap Bendix they replaced, not that the replacements cost much more ($30 vs $45).
