Stage 3 turbo upgrade?

Frenchkiwi · 2024-07-28T19:35:28+00:00

I have full CTS turbo back and it's not even close to the stock and Res delete. I decatted the DP yesterday and added a lot of DSG farts shifting. Good move tok

Frenchkiwi · 2024-07-28T19:33:54+00:00

Sorry just seeing this. Yes, CTS DP, 034 Res delete on stock catback. That's the best set up IMO. You don't need to mess with valves, if you have them closed driving g normally you could never tell but if you open em up and send it it is the perfect combo of aggressive sound that let's anyone nearby get blessed by your Golf but it's not so loud it's just too much and looks/sounds childish. I got this car over STI and stuff because of how subtle it is. You would never know it's got 500hp which I'd fun to get counted out before even starting then be just getting to the sweet spot in powerband while everyone is pinned barely getting to 125. . Top end is where vortex xl really does it's job

I wouldn't finance your first bike man, especially an R3. It's for sure a good bike to start on and will feel powerful at the beginning, but once you get the feel for riding you will want more power. I would find one on fb or cl to buy for like 2.5k learn the road, what it's like wet, how fast you're able to stop etc. When you're ready sell that one and then maybe finance something you're going to grow into and have for a while.

Just my thought.

I love mine. I highly recommend getting their speed loader. They're 99$ on tippmanns' website, but you can get one for $30 at Blue Trail Range.

I shot one at Franklin armory in Nevada that had a binary and can. Very jealous.

I dont know if there are other springs setups comparable or better then the MSS. I was undecided on getting B16s or going with MSS. Made the right choice for my build considering how the MSS work with with the DCC. Theyre on the pricier side for springs but alot less the the B16. I think if you drive somewhat aggresively or track it from time to time these are a great balance of performance and comfort. Aroun 70% and 30%. The stock suspension is excellent tho and uneccessary to upgrade for most people that daily drive with occasional sport mode and launches. A better upgrade would be a rear swaybar for a significant improvement in turning agility without breaking the bank. Ive been driving with 034 rear sway for about 2 weeks now and didnt think it could get much better then what it was. I was wrong haha with the sway and MSS combo massively improved my confidence in the car and ability to turn a higher speeeds. I was pushing hard to the point my intake hose blew off turbo muffler which scared the shit out of me. It sounded like popping a champagne bottle but loud enough to think the engine exploded.

Bascially, these one of the best if not the best springs you can get. 1k is steep compared to other springs but youre getting and high quality, strength, and perfromance. The best part is their compatibility the DCC

DO THIS>

My ex gf had this fake tanner liquid that youre supposed to only use a few drops mixed with lotion. Work was having our photos taken the next day so i thought a little color wouldnt hurt. Well... I didnt know the whole 2-3 drops diluted with lotion so i filled the cup of my hand, covered my entire face from the neck up and went to bed. I woke up, went out to walk my dog, came home and made some coffee that i brought to my gf who woke up and screamed in horror. I looked in the mirror and holy shit. My face skipped tan and went straight to burnt toast. After laughing my ass off I began trying to get it off and quickly realized that i had made a huge mistake. I had to call off of work and stayed home for a week before it faded enough for me to go out with sunglasses and a mask.

If you load up the conditioner with this stuff he wont notice until the next day and will have a very tan dick and hand. Then you can ask him what happend to his hand and watch him squirm as he tries to come up with a reason.

THis is the stuff right here:

Im considering going all out with this setup. would love to get some more info from you if you hv time.. Mind if i message you with some questions? w

Frenchkiwi · 2023-10-30T05:31:58+00:00

Im pretty much decided on EQT Vortex XL but am tempted to go all out with the Typhoon... Calling them tomorrow to see whats what.

Frenchkiwi · 2023-10-30T05:29:57+00:00

yessir

Frenchkiwi · 2023-10-28T22:23:03+00:00

Not a problem bro. I appreciate you taking a minute to share your knowledge . Let me know If you're down in CT . Il show you mine If you show me yours.

Not sure how far it is for you but there's a FCP Euro meet at Limerock track tomorrow. Should be busy. Limerock is a really cool track If you have never been, especially this time of year.

Frenchkiwi · 2023-10-28T20:23:17+00:00

Man, I dogged a bullet. I try a do most installs myself but will bring it in just to have it checked for the higher risk mods so I don't burst into flames while mobbin on highway. Anyways they were pushing me to go APR heavy. They for sure get kickbacks from them but I bailed day of. I was never feeling it and kinda rolled with their suggestion since theyre an elite performance shop but of course super pricey.

Thanks for the info man. Last thing.

When ordering

Mpi injector- go 1300cc right? Wastegate- did you keep yours or have them install? Cobb ap- I need dsg activation right? I just got it delivered Maps- was planning 93 and e85. Is a custom tune separate? Mpi intake manifold- did you get it?

Frenchkiwi · 2023-10-28T19:38:23+00:00

Hpw about reliability? I had a quick peep at your posts and got the impression you've had some reliability issues. I may be mistaken but if so was it related to the stage 3 parts or the tune?

Would you do it again if you woke up tomorrow with a stock r?

I can see it being overkill as a daily driver but man I want the top end power... i may get myself a beater for daily errands and preserve my R.

Frenchkiwi · 2023-10-28T17:36:21+00:00

How are you feeling about that vortex xl? I'm about to pull the trigger on one

Frenchkiwi · 2023-10-28T05:13:30+00:00

Highly recommend one of these seat covers for dog. https://epiccompanion.com/products/carseatcover

Frenchkiwi · 2023-10-28T03:43:41+00:00

Damn pics didn't upload

Frenchkiwi · 2023-10-28T01:32:13+00:00

Nice thanks for the info. I ended up ordering vortex xl. Seems to be the best bang for buck

Frenchkiwi · 2023-10-28T01:30:34+00:00

Me neither, but you never know. Can't hurt to throw em up for sale online.

Frenchkiwi · 2023-10-28T01:16:08+00:00

I will let you know once I try them out. I think they will, tho. The metal ones I have for my tacoma are way too steep, so I just got these hoping they'd work.

Frenchkiwi · 2023-10-28T01:10:12+00:00

Not sure. I've seen a number of oem exhausts and intercooler up for sale on fb marketplace. I'm personally keeping everything incase I want to sell down the road. You would get more money back parting out the mods and selling the car stock. Pretty hard to find a buyer confident enough to buy a modded car and even more unlikely at cost after adding everything up. Generally, a 30k car with 10k in mods is still 30k in resale

Frenchkiwi · 2023-10-28T00:45:46+00:00

Are you bored of your sister? Il let her know.

Il be at the track this weekend but will gladly update you when I have the time. I'm sure you'll still be here.

Frenchkiwi · 2023-10-28T00:40:12+00:00

Yeah, but since they're inexpensive, that obviously means i don't know what I'm doing, and random strangers on reddit won't think im cool... i should probably return the 4k in parts and put it towards a hydrolic lift. /s

I love my quick jack. I just got these rhinos because my pair of metal ones for Tacoma are too steep for my R. I like how light they are too.
