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,

    I don't know, I am getting a bit of a deal since I'm getting over $3k worth of stuff (in a sale too).

      I'm still in Europe

      I believe they will be ready next week - sorry, fitment not included - labour should be 1 - 2 hours. (allow 2 in case of rusted or stubborn exhaust studs which happens every now & then).

        IMO I think doing the chip and downpipe seprately will allow you to appreciate the power gains individually .....

        Doing too much at once seem to blur the benefits together and you don't get that feel good factor as much. There is nothing like doing a bit and then feeling good about the gains. It tends to wear off quite quickly so the next 1 may only be a few weeks down the track anyway.

        Also want to know if the price includes fitment though ....
        Hmmm, I see what you're saying. I'm loving mine as is, I'm not doing it to track it or anything, just to make the drive to and from work more fun. Also, all at once = bigger discounts.

          Gent's - thanks for all your help, we have released the downpipe now. Helped fit tosspot's DP on Tuesday, it fits up just like the factory one. Details are on the website now. Allow 2 hours for fitment - plenty of time.

            Guy, any intention of making the rest of the exhaust (cat-back) available separately ? This way somebody could do 1 bit and then later the next ? To eventually get to a full system ?

            Also, does the software upgrade required release a bit of extra power, or is just to keep the check lights at bay?

              Hi Sharkie - for the full system we like to go to flanged joints - makes it much more secure than slip joints. Mind you, its possible - it would just require welding on of a flange. To buy the two bits separate would cost another $200, but we can do this no problem - an easier way to spread out the cost for sure!

                oh, and yes, the software is for the cat warm up cycle (can throw a check engine light after 10 starts) - it fully complies to the ADR's on emissions
