[DrewryMedia]

[AWhiteRabbit]

Great work PSU.

THX !!! very helpfull!

[matsayswhat]

I have a proposal. The FAQ Thread is locked and thus a lot of helpful information is hard to find. I suggest we start posting helpful threads here as well.

First, this DIY should be added above:
DSG Shifter Removal

Second, here are some discussion threads I think people will find helpful
Looking for headers, cats, cat delete
Supersprint Headers (dubnick32)
Milltek Headers (Startmosphere)
HPA CVP Installed (by Linden VW)
HPA Exhaust Video

Look out for tensioner.
Somewhat large maintenance at 40k intervals. (DSG fluid and filter, haldex fluid). Oil changes every 5-10k. Spark plugs every 40k a good ideal imo as well.
