    Golf R here lowered on KW coilovers with The asian garage DCC delete for the last 2 years and close to 100 launches on the street and the drag strip. TAG is well built, well thought out and doesn't use zipties like kw lol

    Thanks to the UA-cam algo, some forums, a little Facebook Marketplace, and many prior years with GTIs, I finally brought my 2016 Stage 2 S3 home this weekend. Previous owner made it similar to yours, but kept the original turbo. To say it is a marked upgrade from my MK7 GTI is an understatement. Been fun catching all of your older videos on your car to get acquainted (and sold) on this car.

    I purchased a GTI that came equipped with DCC. I put coilovers on it and paired it with the TAG DCC deletes. It's been 6 months now and I haven't had a problem with them. Highly recommend

      Hmmmm that’s interesting, you shouldn’t have any wheel spin. Maybe a bit on launch but should hook immediately after a little spin. It’s possible your Haldex pump isn’t working properly

      @coreytheMFstory that's not what I meant. Mine burns some oil as well, but not as much. I'm at 104k. Had one before that didn't burn a drop. You just happen to have one that's burning a whole lot. Some cars tend to be a black sheep meaning, out of all same exact models, one has to always give more issues than the rest. All being exactly the same model.
