« Last post by Diogo94 on Yesterday at 07:47:40 pm »Hey guys
My name is Diogo.
I have a 2008 Volkswagen Golf V GTI 2.0 TFSI 200HP.
I have a 250HP remap with NGK coils and spark plugs, a Racingline air filter, and a downpipe.
I'm thinking about changing my K03 turbo to a K04 and will soon be posting more about my GTI project.
Thanks for stopping by.
I send a big hug to the whole community.
Diogo, VW Golf V GTI

« Last post by mjmallia on Yesterday at 10:59:50 am »I would double check there is a wire and not make the assumption, as the car might see the stalk but it is not being received by the ECU.
I sell the wire if needed, as if everything else is fitted and coded that is all

Performance Modifications / Re: Stuck Engine Cover Mounts - Cold Air Intake
« Last post by dadawg22 on February 24, 2026, 02:10:37 pm »Hey mjamallia sorry for the late reply, a bunch of other things on the car decided to stop working.
Turns out that there's a hex nut holding the mounts in place on the rear, so I just held them in place with a wrench and managed to take the mounts off using the 24mm socket. I checked the mount centers, they do not have an Allen key hole but damn that would've made the job easier.
Thanks again for your time!
