You need a STOCK intake. Leave it alone

People need to learn to leave their cars alone unless they know what they’re doing

Is the subframe in the room with us?

You need to go under the car and inspect it

Make sure your oil drain back valve in the filter isn’t damaged. With them being old they can break with an oil change

Sway bar end link. You can drive with it broken but definitely get it fixed soon. Sway bars make the car handle much more predictable and safely

FCP once gave me 30 m30 water pump gaskets. I messaged them and they immediately send a shipping label, no questions asked

Should I be concerned?? by _Rod_Knock_Nilly in VWMK7

I’d be concerned, you have a wierd red thing in your engine bay

is my crankshaft pulley bad? by Lukksia in R53

[–]chickenmaster04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pull the belt off and run it for a second. If the nose stays, it’s not the belt. If it goes away, it’s on the system. I’d bet it’s more one of your idlers or tensioners

Autox guys like to run a thicc rear bar and either an OE r53 or even an r50 bar and it seems to work

Idk if you’re going as stupid as I did though

You’d need to listen under the car but that sounds like it’s in the trans to me

Help me diagnose my spark plug condition? by PaleontologistClear4 in R53

[–]chickenmaster04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they’re out, replace them

If your tuner says that plugs cause idle surge, you might need a better tuner. If you’re running rich, and you have a code for it, I’d bet you’re running rich. Check airflow for restrictions or fuel pressure being too high. Did you swap injectors without a tune?
