That drawer is awesome. Perfect place for a small CD wallet.

Or, I guees, a can of Coca-Cola...

 

[kuharious]

anyone know the dimensions of the mkv shelf? in inside dimensions please.

 

[GTI]

The European headlight switch looks pretty sweet. They actually an identical switch in the R32 MKV. From what I saw in some pictures.

How's the European headlight switch different from the regular one?

 

[Fast Freddie]

adds the on/off for the rear fog light that's already installed in your car.

 

[Thalo]

It has rear fog lights? Are they ever on?

 

[DaKurt]

jupp it has rear fog lights...but attention. They are very very bright, so you are only allowed to turn them on when you have less than 50 meter sight or so. Well in the end you don't need them

 

[Thalo]

Well, you have the German version, so you can turn em on. Maybe that's why they don't let North Americans turn em on, cause they're too bright. North Americans are notorious for driving with fog lights when they really aren't needed (whereas Europeans don't have Daytime running lights and only turn em on when absolutely needed). I hear VW is phasing out fog lights on all of their new NA models, GTI is the only one to still have em in the front.

[youpey]

I got my carbonio cold air intake installed today. The hp gain is supposed to be around 10hp but the throttle response is whats more impressive. The power is available right from the start and pulls much better all through the rpm range. Plus, its freakin' sweet because its carbon fiber with the clear resin over the outside so you see the weave and everything. If i did this right, there should be a pic attatched.

 

[schnell06]

Well, the picture post option isnt working too well for me. If you go to APR's European web site ( www.goapr.co.uk ) and look at the intake section, they have a pic off to the side of a Carbonio intake installed on a MKV Gti.

 

[schnell06]

maybe this time....?

 

[blackgti06]

How much hp will that intake add to the mkv?

 

[schnell06]

carbonio claims between 6 and 9 hp on average but the peaks can be higher. the major benifit is the increase in throttle resoponse.

 

[blackgti06]

Nice but i enjoy my neuspeed intake it makes a sweet swoosh noise amost like a bov

 

[alexjhill]

Personally i think the Neuspeed is a better kit to have, although yours alows you to use standard filter box and keep the engine covered, i wonder if thats more restrictive on the air flow than the New speed being pretty much a metal tube with a cone on the end

hello fellow chipper BTW.

will you being going back to APR to have your chip re-tuned to your turbo back? i''m about to order mine from Miltek suposed to be pushing 400 FtLbs of torque and 277+ BHP at then end of that... i can't even imagine 400 Ftlbs of torque or if they have massaged the figures - will beleive it when i see it in a dyno sheet!

 

[blackgti06]

with what mods will you be pushing 400lbs of tq?

 

[GTI2007]

with what mods will you be pushing 400lbs of tq?

According to this other posts on this forum a Revo chip, a Neuspeed intake and then the Milltek turboback exhaust.
