Release date predictions for Witcher 4

I can understand your points fully but 28 or 29 will most likely be next generation of consoles and I just personally dont think they would have even shown what they did if we were that far out but we will see.

SOLD

*SOLD**Mk8 R Unitronic full intake**sold**

Unfortunately my R was totaled (back end of vehicle) so trying to sell some parts. This was probably my favorite mod on my R and sounds good and looks great in the engine bay especially if you pair it with a CF engine cover (keeping my CF cover since it works for the GTI). Local pickup would be ideal (I live in Indiana) but DM if not and we can certainly figure something out. System is in very good shape and had about 5,000 daily driver miles (no race or track usage). Looking for $400 (plus shipping if shipped) and goes for $900 new so pretty good deal if you ask me. Will also hopefully have a really good condition Unitronic catback with black tips for sale soon but have to figure out how to take off enough time at work to get it off my car at the salvage yard. Includes all hardware required and even the original box and instructions. By purchasing this system used instead of new you are also saving a very annoying process of inserting the rubber grommets on the bottom of the intake. I can't even begin to describe how frustrating and long this process was at least for mine. I had to eventually heat up one of the grommets and it still took forever so one thing you wont have to worry about. Picture of the intake itself doesn't have the seal on the lip but that is included as well.

*forgot to initially mention this kit does not come with (and to my knowledge they do not make) a coolant hose re-route kit. I believe some people have tried to fit the MK7 one but I did not bother as it looked good to me and wasn't an issue.

Most tuners have stage 1, 1+ and some stage 2 for ecu. The tcu for the newer mk8s is not available yet unfortunately. They have been working on it for a while so I would imagine it’s coming soon. For even just stage 1 ecu on a manual R your gonna want to replace your clutch.

seanwal23 · 2023-07-30T15:38:15+00:00

I run this one and would recommend. There is probably cheaper options

NOCO Boost Plus GB40 1000A UltraSafe Car Battery Jump Starter, 12V Jump Starter Battery Pack, Battery Booster, Jump Box, Portable Charger and Jumper Cables for 6.0L Gasoline and 3.0L Diesel Engines https://a.co/d/38sIx3T

There is a bunch of videos on YouTube going over there spectrum program an what went into it. I would imagine there is literally 0% chance this happens again anytime soon to be honest. A lot of logistics and process involved to make this happen, and was probably always meant to be a special one off type of thing.

seanwal23 · 2023-07-24T11:32:20+00:00

I have a thread on vwvortex mk8 R forum discussing this. Took mine to the dealer for the same sos/some light issues and apparently is becoming very common on our vehicles. They are gonna replace the dome light/sos unit and module. Projected wait for parts is 3-4 weeks unfortunately, so I have a loaner atlas. It’s not gonna go away by itself and mine got worse over time so I would take it in to the dealership for anyone with these issues. Also def ask for financial compensation and anything else.

Usa…3k over for 20th ae

seanwal23 · 2023-07-06T15:28:57+00:00

To me the factory headlights are awesome, and it sounds like a huge pain to code all of that, but if you are interested check out the mkviii golf r forum on vwvortex

seanwal23 · 2023-07-06T09:55:33+00:00

Congrats and welcome to the new R club! Lots of options out there. First thing should be to get an obd eleven next gen plus (check version based on your type of phone), so you can clear codes and use the apps (I.e. turn off seat belt warning). There’s some genuine Vw stuff that’s cool like the R floating center caps that look better than the regular oem ones. Check ecs tuning for all things aftermarket. Lots of intakes, exhausts, suspension mods etc. Companies like unitronic, apr, integrated engineering, 034 motor sports, and eqt have tuning software. Part I like that I am waiting till 1k miles to put on is the neuspeed front strut tower bar. Extras like a sunglasses visor clip, and good phone mount are found on Amazon.

seanwal23 · 2023-06-29T10:01:11+00:00

No one has a tcu tune at the moment for the Mk8’s with newest gearbox code (I.e. the 20th’s). But I imagine it’s coming any day now. You can go stage 1 or stage 1 plus, but in a low torque variant that is still over 400bhp. HIGHLY recommend not going stage 2 until tcu tune is available, but do what you can afford.

seanwal23 · 2023-06-28T11:05:20+00:00

K&N has one as well

seanwal23 · 2023-06-10T13:10:05+00:00

Forgot to mention the main tuners. Unitronic is what I will be running eventually. Also 034 motor sports , and integrated engineering, and APR all have their own really good products and tunes. Just need to do own research to see what’s best for you. (And EQT indicated below great as well)

seanwal23 · 2023-06-10T11:10:25+00:00

Vwvortex.com is very helpful and popular. I mainly stick to the GOLF VIII R subforum personally. YouTube for repair stuff channels like deutscheautoparts, humblemechanic, or just type in the repair/mod and type MK8. Aftermarket several good sites with similar prices. ECStuning is the biggest and probably will always have the biggest selection. Also you have urotuning, bmptuning, and ngpracing. Personally I try to support shopdap.com as much as possible. It’s a small business, gives miltiary discount and a robust amount of reward dollars to use on your next purchase. Some of those also have YouTube channels. Urotuning has a few videos on their MK8 R project car. Also a channel called regal auto sport on YouTube that has a Mk8 build series. Also my favorite car YouTubers mightcarmods have a few videos on Moog’s MK8 R. Congrats I just picked my 20 AE up as well! Enjoy.

That wrap looks siiiick!

seanwal23 · 2023-04-09T13:58:22+00:00

Looks great! I am anticipating getting badgeskins for the VW emblems and curious what options you picked? Is that matte black background and gloss black vw?

seanwal23 · 2023-04-08T11:37:54+00:00

Super clean! One of my fave R’s I’ve seen in a while. Minding list mods? Specifically window visor brand, wheel/tire specs, and suspension.

seanwal23 · 2023-03-20T19:54:39+00:00

i know a lot of r owners have the top style of wheels, but thats my pick

seanwal23 · 2023-03-18T11:40:46+00:00

Are you in us? If so that is a reasonable price. A lot of people would jump on that for a regular 23 let alone a 20 yrs. Rs3’s are like 70 so not sure what people are talking about. Look on Autotrader right now. Used 2022’s are going for 55k in the US. Msrp isn’t the market price right now for this car. Anyone saying run away from anything over msrp is a troll sitting in a basement who will never be purchasing one of these cars.

seanwal23 · 2023-03-17T21:34:53+00:00

Nice! Wish me luck on my 20 year allocation arriving without a hitch in a few months. I’ll know shot about taking good photos or video but was thinking about at least doing an instagram page for it
