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,

        • had a good look at the 034 motorsports site last night, i can see myself spending ALOT of money there haha. ordered a phenolic intake space, a heat shield for the coilpacks and some track density strut top mounts... hopefully these will last longer than 2 years

          • And it's here

            Coil pack heat sheild with 25kw worth of stickers, that's at the wheels!


            Hopefully this'll help keep intake temps down a little



            Apparently track density, pretty solid to the touch, hope they last a bit longer than the last set

              • still need to trim down one more boss mount fRom the original engine cover for it to sit perfect but its pretty close. makes the engine note different too, i can here more turbo suck and less 'engine' noise. sounds real mean down low

                    I don't think they are r32 ones, the last pair i got wer r32 ones and these feel much stiffer. they part number has a '-80' at the end so im guessing they're 80 duro?

                    i actually just checked ecs and it looks like the ones i got put in with my refresh kit were just the stock item so not sure what these are?? bloody stiff though. ill post up the part number when i get home

                    • Thought about ceramic coating the IC & intake piping? That would help with some heat management

                        i have thought about it but not sure if it would be a good idea because the coating also traps heat in the ic piping so it would heat soak fairly quickly in traffic. that's my theory anyway, plus most big power builds don't wrap the ic piping

                            But the internal air temp would still be cooler than that of the engine bay???

                              haha not yet mate, still running the base tune but have correct a few minor mechanical issues and probs gonna re-log it now, will be interesting to see if the phenolic gasket does anything for intake temps. really need to lean it out a bit though, this is what happened to a set of spark plugs in about 1000km of driving



                              its definitely a very safe tune haha
