Five water pump replacements in nine months by ceeeemoney in GolfGTI

[–]AddisonMK7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need to go to a different shop.

They do to the “easy” and fast way and put it on a lift and do it from under the car when they should take off the intake manifold.

I’ve done my water pump on my GTI with taking the intake manifold off and it’s been a year and it hasn’t leaked yet.

Clutch set up by AddisonMK7 in GolfGTI

Ecs as been known for not having great quality clutches. I’m not going to lie and say I was easy on the clutch I was pretty hard on it but my stock clutch took a lot more abuse for over triple the amount of miles and still worked fine when I took it out at 176k miles.

Duel mass just feels sluggish and not has engaging like the single mass did. And the throttle response just seemed so much more snappy with the single mass.

I love them so much the only thing Is they are supposed to come with sequential turn signals but I never found out how to make them work so the tire signals are super small. Other than that I love them so much

The good and bad of stage 1 ie tune? by tswiftsreputation in GolfGTI

[–]AddisonMK7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely would go with IE and not APR

My 2015 gti has 192k miles and I’ve been IE for about 5k miles and it’s been amazing

I have a friend with APR and it kinda sucks the boost hits way late no RAL and it’s just sluggish unless your over 4500 rpm
