2008 GTI with R32 rear end

Re: 2008 GTI with R32 rear end

I don't think I need to adjust much other than height.

As an aside, the Osir O-pod kills the vent so I stuck a piece of foam in the channel to cover the hole that goes to the fuse box/under the dash and the vent flows air just fine

I'm probably getting tint done this weekend so I might take some more pictures. I'm probably going to do somethign along the lines of 35% front and 17% back. Also considering a new windshield too because when I pass cars on Highway 2, they get angry and fling rocks diagonally across the lane to my windshield... A nice crack grew. :(

Look into the H&R coilovers. The best in my book.

THen look at KW V2.....

Re: 2008 GTI with R32 rear end

Thanks I was thinking either FK Silverlines or KW V1s. Have any suggestions?

Both of those choices are horrible. FK's suck because of there longevity issues as well as being bouncy as hell, while the KW's are just too soft. Look into the H&R coilovers. The best in my book.

The Osir pod fits great and looks high quality. It does kill the vent so you just have to block off the hole in the vent channel to make air flow through the pod. I bought my gauge for $210 shipped but I saw some Defi Blue Racers go on sale at golfmkv.com for around $100-150. If you don't mind color mismatching, the Defi gauges are the best but if you need a color match, the New South gauge works well.

Where can I get the KW V1s?

SICK WOW if i still had my gti this is what i would do...

Re: 2008 GTI with R32 rear end

hows the quality of the osir, been thinking about ordering one before i get my chip. defi is expensive?? i'm not sure what gauge to get

Re: 2008 GTI with R32 rear end

I prefer the mismatching blue as it makes the gauge easier to spot when I want to take a quick peek. The gauge quality is top notch and I like the fact that it is electric, not mechanical. The AWE gauge is mechanical, small and there have been some issues with quality with some of them. On the plus side, the AWE gauge won't kill your vent but I just need to put some foam to cover the hole inside the vent and the Osir vent pod will channel air

Re: 2008 GTI with R32 rear end

i'm sure AWE/omori sells one that the blue will actually match OEM.. i know they do for the mk4s i loved mine

Re: 2008 GTI with R32 rear end

The Milltek is a little quieter and a bit less aggressive sounding than the EJ. Some people like it better, but I prefer the EJ sound.

This weekend I installed a BSH Boost Tap, Defi Boost Gauge, and Osir vent pod. Took 2 hours with my dad which isn't bad considering I am not very mechanically inclined. I love the mismatching blue and the quality and accuracy of the gauge.

Re: 2008 GTI with R32 rear end

i think redlinemotorsports.com is selling the miltek and r32 bumper for 1700 usd. so ya it's expensive, i'd like to hear yours and the miltek side by side.

Slam that MOFO

Re: 2008 GTI with R32 rear end

The Milltek TBE is nice. Fitment is great although it hangs a little low and is only 2.75" (not a problem but 3" is better if you want to go BT). Oh, and it's $$$$$!

Re: 2008 GTI with R32 rear end

yea it sounds nice in the vid, i heard miltek is the way to go for the gti r32 exhaust. either way i still like it, just can't afford to buy the r32 bumper my self

Re: 2008 GTI with R32 rear end

Yeah I don't think I will be buying Eurojet in the future unless they get things straightened out with their product quality. Exhaust sounds awesome, though!
