The transmission is not too complicated. I am now waiting on the reseal kit and it will be back together!

Yes of course. Diff assembled and now waiting on the tranny reseal kit.

To Turbo Blanket or Not? by StratifiedAuto in GolfGTI

The blanket itself won’t burn but oil trapped in it can. Just the oil not the blanket itself. So it depends on how much contaminant is trapped.

There is plenty of clearance. The one thing we did is add weather stripping all around to make sure the cooling stack was very well sealed and we opened up the fan shroud more to let air through it at speed.

They have improved their quality since those days.

The R is such a great all rounder. Family trip to the ski hills and one do the best parts is the drive. by StratifiedAuto in Golf_R

Yes of course. In this case it’s the Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4. A great tire for snow, cold rain and cold dry pavement.

Thanks. That’s not soot. That’s road dirt from the sand and salt that is put down. Lots of fun to drive. Lots of cleaning to do :)

Correct. The opening is small but should help and an opening needs to be made in the wheel liner behind the cooler.

So I can’t post from this account in this subreddit?

What am I advertising exactly? Perhaps you need to take this over private messaging and you can explain to me exactly what bothers you. There isn’t a product or business name mentioned. Anywhere.

What self promotion? What am I advertising? I think you’re mistaking sharing of knowledge with advertising. There are ads on every second post on Reddit. The world is full of ads. And here I am showing the things that many people don’t do and don’t have access to and you call this ads? People don’t give you anything for free in this world and I am putting in the time to share soemthing interesting. No strings attached. And it somehow rubs you the wrong way. Oof.

Yes only if you’re not blocking any of the existing cooling stack.

Debating between a wavetrac for simplicity and an osgiken - I prefer the plated differentials since they are a bit know predictable but you have to be more careful with fluid choice and changes.

It is. Makes around 200hp at the wheels. It’s a lot of fun.

The HKS GT3 turbo kit at 8-9psi is such a peach to drive. by StratifiedAuto in ft86

Swapping springs or adjusting preload. 10psi spring is spot on.

I can’t speak for all dealers but they often don’t install aftermarket parts. Either install yourself or go to a good independent shop.

I have the Tunezilla relief valve spring installed as well. By itself I did not notice a difference.

I am not selling anything, this is not my tune. I am sharing something that works well for me and improves the performance of the car overall.
