Very good information on E85 being used on a Daily engine and race engine. TLDR: E85 caused Black Sludge on daily driven car and on race engine E85 left weird slight sticky residue on pistons.

What's up guys. So I decided to take my car to a reputable Shop in my area that works on VW. I requested a Boost leak test. When asked if I had an issue, I said no my car runs 28psi to 7000rpms no issues. But I'm going to push in the 30s and wanted to make sure everything was good. So today I...

OBD11 has been updated and we no longer have the "Starting Vibration Reduction" option in the Brake menu to help with fully disengaging the Traction control. Has anyone figured what other options need to be coded out within the OBD11 after the update? Or maybe it's only mk7.5 cars that don't...

I have an EQT DSG staged tune I purchased over a year ago. I've always hated the shift from 3rd to 4th is pretty harsh. To the point I lowered my ECU tune so it wouldn't shift as hard on 3rd onto 4th. I went back into EQT website and realized they have a DSG staged Customization tune. Level...

I'm reaching 10k miles time for another Oil change, It currently run 5w40 liquid moly. But my 2020 calls for 0w20. I followed suit cause the older GTi were 5w40 and figured it's cause of emissions they run 0w20. But I just read this on Urotuning website. "There is a lot of discussion on...

TL;DR: MK7.5 Trackslag Catted Downpipe with Baun Performance Midpipe Silencer. Super Quiet, No Drone, with Performance. I believe it's Quieter then stock! On IS38 Turbo. Working on Video Comparison coming soon. So I purchased a Trackslag Catted Downpipe Friday night, Father's Day weekend and...

Mods: TPC38 HPA HPFP CTS Intercooler Downpipe R600 Intake NGK RS7 1 step colder plugs TUNE: EQT Custom w/ DSG Finally got everything Installed in My MK7.5 GTI, flashed my Starting Map from EQT. Initial thoughts? It's underwhelming. Car feels slower and less responsive then the COBB Stage 2...

Just got the Cobb Access port I decided to plug it in and so the updates. It's been waiting to reboot for an hour. Does the reboot process take this long? I tried calling but it's after working hrs. So I'm hoping someone on forum can give some advice if they had a similar issue. I have a Mac and...

Is anyone Running HPA HPFP with no issues on a Tuned car? Stage 2 or Is38? I Purchased HPA pump, and the only 2 videos I seem to find online guys replaced them cause they were faulty. A few months ago a post of someone having it rebuild. I wanted the HPA HPFP over Autotech for ease of install...

Hello, guys. Im looking to finally make my EQT Vortex XL purchase and noticed EQT recommends 2 step colder plugs. The NGK plugs they recommend seem to be sold out and back ordered everywhere. I contacted them to see if I can run 1 step colder plugs since it's easier to find and more readily...

Hey I recently seen the Apex Wheels group buy, I'm interested in purchasing. Current I was looking into EQT Vortex turbo with Cobb AP and custom tune. My build process is usually engine mods first, then suspension and last wheels. But I also don't want to pass on a deal I may not see again. My...

Hello, guys I have a question I can't seem to find. Are Downpipes pretty much all the same? Meaning they all do the same thing so branding and paying more shouldn't really matter. Or are you really getting your $$$ worth. Not just in Quality but in performance. I'm currently looking into Catted...

What's up Mk7 forum. This is my first post, I purchased my MK7.5 GTI a few months ago. Coming from my tried and true MK5 GTI which lasted me 12 good years. But anyway, I noticed this hose on the rear of my MK7.5 on both sides and they stick out lower then car body. Is this normal? I don't...
