Got these in the mail yesterday. After doing a bit of research I determined these will fit the R without issue so I pulled the trigger.
I went with the 441 option (most basic) with the radial bearing upgrade and shock covers. Total cost as $1628 shipped. Was originally considering KW V3’s but...
The other thing I didn’t consider until today is that I should get some negative camber just lowering the car, correct? Anyone have an idea how much negative camber I would get with JUST v3 coilovers lowered one inch? Based on the driving I do (daily/canyons on the weekend) my sense is that...
I run Michelin PS4S in the summer and love them. In my experience they are noticeably better than the performance summer Continentals that came on the car
thank you both! And yes @Superfreak I am definitely down once we get through this bad weather. Shoot me a DM and we can connect.
I also just saw that Whiteline had their own ball joint option. Anyone running those? Curious if they have the same issues as the 034 ball joints.
Next mod on my MK7 R will be coilovers, most likely KW V3's. As of today the only suspension mod is a H&R RSB.
I'd like to get a bit more camber up front and am trying to decide what options make the most sense; because the V3's don't have adjustable top hats, I have been looking at different...
I’d check out UM if you have a dealer near you. They have a lot of experience with with big turbo tunes on the MQB platform. I have the stage 2 pmax tuned by them and I love it. Mine is a 6MT and has flex fuel, no lift shift, and launch control mapped in. Never had a single issue with UM and...
I’ll have to drive it a little more and see, not really sure I notice it right now but have only had the car for a couple days. I will agree that I don’t really experience or feel any on-throttle compressor surge or side effects associate with it. I do hear some off-throttle surge (dose...
I have had the car for about ~24 hours now and wanted to share my initial impressions. Overall I am quite pleased and do not regret my decision. For context, I was trying to decide on the stage 2 pmax or the vortex... ultimately went with the pmax based on my belief that it will have superior...
I know Innovative Motorsport claims that RS3 LPFP is good for 650whp on E60 so I figured that plus the 925cc MPI kit would be plenty. Given the fact that I am at 5k+ altitude and on a stock motor I don't think it will be making more than 450whp but we will see. I would trust Diggs or someone...
Not sure there is much to go on about. There is a limit to how fast any turbo can safely spin. The only way to truly know the RPM of a turbo shaft is to monitor with a speed sensor. Since this turbo has a shaft speed sensor port and United Motorsport can incorporate that data into the tune, they...
