    Its weird that the new 7spd dsg (atleast on my car) doesnt hold the rpms so flat. It bounces up and down between 2800-3000. It also slightly lurches the car forward up onto the suspension. Its tuned but it also did it from the factory. Weird. Maybe its just better to have the clutch slightly applied

    Any good ideas for Budget build for now?????

      As an old codger, I always start with brakes. I have the '10 sport with the 6MT and the stock brakes (especially the rears) are prone to excessive wear and fading. I went with cross-drilled, slotted front and rear with ceramic pads. Then, ECS Stage II clutch and 034 Motorsports rear main seal. That way, all the bits that fail with added boost are taken care of before any modding. The 034 can take almost 40lbs of boost. But, like I said, I'm old. :D

      if you want a cold air intake, you need one that will fit flush against the hood when closed and incorporates the factory intake for the box filter as your intake. There's no restriction at all until you get to the factory filter, If you just throw in a pod filter and suck engine bay air into it you will 100% lose power, even with a bigger intake pipe behind that filter. You need to understand it has a factory cold air intake into a very unsporty, but still properly sealed, box filter. VW knew coming onto the design board how important cold air is to a turbo engine and designed their intake accordingly. Use the existing mounts to make a custom box, make good DIY seals in eth box for the intake plumbing to exit and let cold air come in through the intake at the top of the grill as it was designed to and you can get the fully sick pod filter induction noises without literally losing power for some earcandy.

      Well it’s a factory enabled feature - I’m sure they did some pretty comprehensive testing before putting it into mass produced cars. Whilst I wouldn’t use it at ever set of traffic lights, occasional use would be safe, especially if your on top of all preventative maintenance.

    I have a beautiful R36 and drive no faster than say 95 km's an hour also not on the Freeway (2200 to 2400 rev's). So to me this video looks pretty alien but is there any risk of damage to the engine and/or gearbox doing this "catapulting" thing ? It should have been designed to do this I'd say ? I don't like high rev's that much myself.

      Hi Jan, yes I know I have seen your many posts about this. They are absolutely designed for it, it’s an OEM feature, I wouldn’t be doing it every single set of traffic lights, but it’s there to have fun, the whole car is there to have fun the way you want. So drive it the way you want to, if that’s like a grandpa or a P plater, the car can take it as long as you maintain it properly.

      @@ThatCarChannelOfficial Thank You Car Channel ! I will just do it now and then maybe a bit more modest than here just to keep the engine "clean" because of my modest driving style. I am 69 so a far cry from a P plater (who are not allowed to drive this car in QLD) and certainly at high speeds (if they were allowed) I can't react fast anymore. I feed it 98 Petrol and maintain it with a garage specialized in European cars. I had the gearbox fluid replaced 14.000 km's ago.
