  1. 2.0T FSI / TSI Engines
    My boyfriends fuel line has been getting oil leaked into it and then that messes with the turbo, tonight he was going 30 in a 50 and pushing 35 RPMs. He's taken it to multiple mechanics and it's never gotten fixed. Problem with the turbo: when he goes to accelerate up a hill or onto the highway...

I need some advice on changing transmission fluid (when to do it and what type to use)...

  7. MKIV GTI
    I've been hearing that a blow off valve for the 1.8's will ruin the turbo life but I'm not sure. Ive heard a ton about the R1 Apr diverter valve and am wondering if that would be the better route rather than a blow off valve. Thanks [hail vw]

    I have a 2007 with a DSG transmission. For the most part I know that these cars are descent cars mechanically. My car is bone stock with a CHEAP Megan cat back. What I want to do is get to a number. Happily I want to me at a low to mid 13 second car. I understand more power comes more problems...

    2007 MKV. About a week ago I installed a k&n cold air.

  20. MKV GTI
    Well guys, I know I've been dormant on here for a heckuva long time. Some crazy stuff has happened in the past 2 years, so my GTI project was placed on hold. I finally ordered all my parts (I'm piecing together my own kit). My question is, do I need this part to connect the KO4 intake outlet to...
