hi everyone! i recently bought an '04 GTi 1.8t. i already added the Neuspeed catback exhaust and i want to buy some lowered springs. i want about a 1.5" drop,...
I have the H&R srpings, I have a 1.5" drop on my 1.8t and has no need for the sway bar. I don't know about the TEIN springs performance, but i would recommend...
Early cars (year 2000, 2001, some 2002) had problems with >2" drop. The swaybar endlinks were redesigned mid-2002. You won't have any trouble with 1.5" drop on...
I bought my car in Aug- it's a 2003 GTI 1.8... the previous owner installed H+R springs (not sure which ones- they are black..?) and bilsteins all around....
I agree, black HR I'm guessing is probably race w/2" drop (sports are red) so you will have a very stiff and punishing ride with very little travel. IMO you ...
thanks for the input- based on this, where should I look for a better ride? I'm no racer, so I don't need to scrape the ground when I drive. It just sounds...
At "least" go to a VW Sport (Eibachs aren't they?) springs, with some Koni or Bilstein struts, if not looking into some of the other aftermarket stuff. Depends...
My wife has a 2001 GTI Turbo and we installed Newspeed sway bars (28 mm rear, 25 mm front) without any other changes to the suspension. The car handles much...
I live in far northwestern Wisconsin where is is not uncommon to hit -20 to -30 below zero in the wintertime. (But at least we don't have hurricanes or...
I would simply put an electric blanket on top of the engine, and then close the hood as far as it will go. It may not work as well as an engine block heater,...
I would post this question over at VWVORTEX forums for input as well. Not sure if I would go for the blanket bit, it would be ok if it was in a Garage, but if ...
Hi All, I am looking for some advice. I have a Golf Gti with the AGU engine. I have been using the GIAC chip upgrade for more than three years now. Recently...
hello group i just took my car out to the drags and it ran 10.2 @ 70 mph it was only a 1/8th of a mile i think it was pretty good but does anyone have any...
well i have one. it hasnt gave me any problems yet. it helps for the blow off sound. but i think its great. i have not dynoed yet so dont know what type hp i...
When you say "helps for the blow off sound" do you mean, you can hear the whistle it MORE or LESS? Personally, more is good. I was disappointed to read the new...
yes thats what i mean. if you have a good bov. then you will here it. Skip Slack <skip_slack@...> wrote: When you say "helps for the blow off sound" do...
i have the greddy bov and it sounds great...i know that they tell you that you have to recirculate the air but i didnt and it sounds really good... HENRY...
Hey guys, cool group (I recently joined). Sorry if this is a dumb question, but is a "diverter valve" the same thing as a "blow off valve"? I've seen...
They are the same thing. However, the street will usually say: BOV = atmospheric DV, or psssst psssshhhtt DV = recirc type only, no intended outside sound....
They are NOT the same thing. You even posted the difference yourself. VW's and Audi's, unlike most other factory-boosted cars, are designed so that the excess...
Pressurized intake air is not recirculated to keep the turbo spooled, it is done for emissions. Recirculating the pressurized intake air has no bearing on...
