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,

Time to grow up, get rid of the project car and buy a Golf R/GTI

    I have to say, it's the best car I've owned and that list includes an Audi A4 Quattro with KO4, a C class Merc, Statesman Caprice and 1998 Holden Vectra.
    Looked at any tunes yet Drad? I'm in the same shoes as you, I want more now. Especially losing to a GTI the other day =[ shame on me

      Already spoken to Paul from Muller and Muller. I'll be getting the APR treatment as soon as the Easter sale starts.

        The R responds very very well to a downpipe and intake, in addition to a tune - bringing it up to what some tuners call a stage 2. The downpipe in particular really improves low-down throttle response and reduces turbo lag.

          If I could I would have loved to have done the ecu and downpipe together but have to budget myself (wife is off work for another 12 months since baby arrived 11 months ago). But we'll see what the money tree is doing come Easter.

            Possibly look at a tune that doesn't have as much marketing overhead built into it & a 2nd hand quality DP.
