Just like the title implies, I need to replace my stock suspension with something new and I can't afford full adjustable coil-overs nor do I need them. I mainly just want to make sure that the rear is not going to look higher than the front with the drop, I hate that look. Thanks for any help...

Thanks to the "stimulus" payment I was able to obtain a SS AFC and I will be installing it within the next two weeks. I am doing the install at a friends house in another state so I would like to know if anyone has any tips for me that the instructions may not detail. I have an extremely...

So for about a week now I have been hearing a light metal scraping/grinding noise coming from my drivers side front wheel. The noise seems to be activated mostly by turning left but it can happen even going straight too. The strange thing is when I apply some brake it goes away, thus leading...

Last summer I installed a ton of parts and I haven't had a chance to dyno the car up until now. - Custom FMIC - Custom 3" turboback - Corksport S-pipe - Custom Short Ram Intake/Hardpipes - Denso Iridium IK22's (.032 gap) Stock I pulled 151.8 whp and 161.6 torque on a Dynojet and with my...

I ordered a set of IK22's from Sparkplugs.com and the gap came in at .711 and they should have been at .32. Has anyone else experienced this? It says to be careful with gapping them but if you don't touch the electrode than I'm sure it would be ok, right? Thanks for any info. Mike

Just like the topic implies, does anyone use water/methanol injection on their MSP? My friend is a VW guy and it is pretty popular with them, it seems like a win/win honestly. I don't want rediculous power but I do want to run some good power (200whp) with some supporting mods and without...

Ok, so I dynoed my car on a Dynojet when all I had done to my car was a Forge BOV and I pulled 155 whp, I found that to be ok numbers but my car was pinging like a b**** so we stopped everything real quick. Now I have done a custom FMIC/3" Turboback with Corksport S-Pipe and I am boosting about...

Since I busted a hole in my radiator while building my exhaust ((bang)) I have to put another one in. It is a normal stock radiator but I have a few simple, possibly stupid questions: - I just want to make sure I have the order straight for assembly: - Make sure radiator is seated in...

Alright guys, What tool is used to get the oil line off of the turbo? I am not actually at my car right now but my friend is trying to do the install and he says that it seems near impossible to remove. Any help would be greatly appriciated. Mike

As the topic states I am about to receive my Corksport S+J pipe and and preparing for the install. I have heard that I should get replacement turbo studs because they frequently break during install, is that true? If so, where can I get them? I also purchased the Corksport motor mount inserts...

Just as the title implies I'm looking for a used Corksport S-pipe for the MSP. At this point I can use any type of discount possible so that I can finish my full turbo back exhaust. Thanks. Mike

I finally got the pics of my FMIC install on my laptop and I thought I'd throw some of them up for you guys to see. My friend Joe did some fabricating to create a unique bumper support that would hold my IC. The dimensions of hte core (without endtanks) is 24"x9"x3" and yes I did have to trim...

I have recently installed a FMIC and had to bend the high pressue AC line ever so slightly and ever since my AC has not been working. It would not even kick on yesterday although after I tried a recharge kit it will kick on but be very lukewarm/warm still. One odd thing I have noticed is that...

Does anyone know the turbo intake diameter and the throttle body diameter? Is it 2.5"? Thanks. Mike

I am putting together a FMIC kit right now and I was wondering if anyone has clocked (rotated) their turbo to make it easier to fit the pipes? It seems like this would make life a whole lot easier and I'm just checking to see if anyone has done it or why they haven't done it. Thanks for any...

As the title states, I am looking to make my own intercooler kit and I have found a pretty nice bar and plate core with these dimensions: 24" Wide/9" Tall/3" Thick I am not looking to replace or modify the bumper supports or anything and I want it to fit without very much trimming of the...

Hello, I am getting sick of the stock MSP sub so I really want to get an Infinity Kappa Perfect 12" sub (used to have one in my Jetta, loved it). My question is can the stock amp even push the Kappa Perfect or do I definitly need a new amp. If I do need a new amp, can the stock amp be used...

For the past week or so I catch out of the corner of my eye that my brake light is on (in the gauge cluster, not the rear brake light) and it will come and go as it pleases. My brakes are pretty worn (44k highway miles) but I still stop fine. Does the light come on when I need to get new brake...

I just recently had my MSP lowered on Tein springs and I was wondering if anyone else has noticed that the Teins are either softer spring rate wise than the Racing Beat springs, or maybe I'm going crazy? With the Racing Beat springs I was feeling every little crack in the road and it was...

I went to dyno my MSP the other day and it is totally stock besides the Forge BOV. I am a newb so I had never heard pinging but all the techs at NGP (place I had it dynoed) said the car was pinging quite a bit, mostly over 4500 and 5k rpms. I was running 93 octane, but I admit it was from a...
