Also used obd11 my nephew is flat rate at Mercedes. My son was flat rate at mini for a few years. It’s the same with them. Maybe it’s a German thing?

It’s why I wanted the intercooler. Weight and the fitment being 1:1 I’ll definitely be avoiding them in the future tho. For sure.

Oh dang. Not for nothing but a lot of track rats I know here parrot the same experience with pwr. Frankly, not a single person says anything positive about the company (in my orbit). It’s always “great products but dealing with them sucks”

I’d go Cobb. Full size filter, plus that access panel is pretty sweet. You’ll just have to retune for the maf

On my old mk7.5 GTI U had to do some coding to tell the car there’s a new battery on the fl5 it seems like the system sees a change in voltage. Rather from a new battery or charging. And it self adjusts from there. At least that’s what I’ve read on Reddit. I’ve no idea if that’s true tbh

I liked that the pwr didn’t require any modification in the front bumper. No need to relocate the sensor. Etc. the price just hurt like a mf. It is not cheap. But I saved and saved. Got on pwr’s site and purchased it. No warning that it wasn’t in stock. No expectations as to when one can expect...

Same. Till I race an r that’s the only time I’ve noticed it. The second both cars get tuned it’s a non topic tbh since they’d make the same power and all. Just weird how the s has a bump in power and very little if any tq reduction in the first two gears

Savage geese had this issue on their fl5 too. Their solution was just to buy a big brake upgrade front and rear. It included calipers and rotors for sure. Probably includes lines and brackets too? Hopefully it’s a doable option. The whole thing sounds super expensive it was ap racing, forgot...

Oh gotcha. My neighbor had about 18k miles when he got the mirror done iirc correctly. No rattles in his I had like 2k miles. A hair over 2k. No rattles yet thankfully. I did have a center console rattle from 2.5-3k rpm occasionally after I swapped the exhaust. Then on a whim I swapped out the...

Oh gotcha. When I swapped to a q300 cat back. I did get rattles. Around 2500-3k rpm mostly. But I swapped the resonator for a megaphone. No rattles yet. The existing one kinda disappeared? I figured it was just a shitty resonator or unproperly sized?

My neighbor actually got it done at the dealer on his fl5. Even in plus r mode it doesn’t rattle maybe there’s an install technique the dealer knows that folks don’t? Or maybe just luck?

That’s where I messed up. I thought the s was slower than the r so I started modding. Then I raced a stock r. Was confused. Googled it. And discovered the s makes more power from 2k rpm to redline. Didn’t believe it. So kept researching. And honestly the whole thing left me confused. What a...

I’ve heard great things about gtechniq. I only have experience with gyeon mohs, synchro, feynlabs Odin and can coat sadly when I feel more confident I’d love to give gtechniq a go

Ceramic coated my “type r” used gyeon synchro

Long time lurker. Saw an opportunity yesterday to argue about engine oil. So I finally registered. No bickering yet, but as soon as that hrc oil drops in the spring it’s gonna be on anywho. Nice to be here. Here’s a few pics of my type r-ish. Got her July 15, a few months ago so far, mods...

You’re not wrong. The stock portion after the front pipe will be a restriction. It will be less of a restriction in the whole system due to the bigger front pipe though on stock dp, the k20c1 seems to really do well with a 3” cat back. The gains are pretty solid. Regrettably, the majority of...

Is your intercooler upgraded? If so, it doesn’t matter. If you have enough intercooler it’ll scrub that extra heat easily.

Colorado winters aren’t too gnarly. Won’t challenge 5 weight any at least. only 0w20 that I know of that can perform like that is vw508 certified oil. It’s a green color too. Crazy stuff. I’m sure there’s a few others but vw508 is the only one I know of.

To be real with you. I swapped the de5’s oil with amsoil 5/30 and a wix xp filter. Car feels…. Identical 😂

How dare u nothing’s better than amsoil!!!!!
