    Can a free-flowing intercooler help alleviate compressor surge?

    Hello folks, I think I am barely getting WOT compressor surge around 3-4K rpm with an EQT stage 1 tune. Since I was thinking of getting a new intercooler anyway, and since most intercoolers work "about the same" when it comes to being better than stock, what if I decided based on which had the...

    New clutch: pedal feel?

    How can I tell if the DCC shocks are worn?

    2018 Golf R. It was a slow and gradual change, but the suspension doesn't feel like it used to. At least in "normal" DCC mode, it feels like the initial travel of the suspension seems under-damped, and then somehow extra damping kicks in mid-stroke or on bigger hits, resulting in a "harsh"...

    I'm also one of those "slowly losing coolant" people

    2018 Golf R, almost out of warranty. I don't remember ever having to top off the coolant until last November. (Maybe during one of the car inspections / repairs along the way somebody "topped up all the fluids") Anyway I took it to the dealer, they pressure tested it and found no leaks. Oh...

    Race mode makes the gas pedal too touchy

    Hello folks, I am referring to the individual setting for [shoot, I forgot "drive system"?] under the custom settings for mode that refers to the engine / gas pedal only, not suspension or other things. With the "race" setting the pedal is more responsive (less lag) than "normal" but it also...
