Mk5 General Area / Re: What did you and your MKV do today?
« Last post by Birchy on Yesterday at 06:12:59 pm »Second project within a week was fitting a set of Bilstein B8 shocks. I was already running H&R springs so they should work well together from what I’ve read. Opted for the MK5 shocks as it’s not a daily driver. I’ve been for a short drive round the block and first impressions are very good. The car is sitting approx 10mm higher than before but it’s not had much chance to settle in so will check it again once it’s been on a longer drive.

Any update please? I had the same PRNDS flashing as well after changing the oil and the oil filter. Although my car still runs as normal. Mine is DSG GTI Mk6

Mk5 General Area / Re: K04 Conversion - Do you ever regret it? How is it for daily driving?
« Last post by ZoliWorks on April 22, 2024, 07:23:15 pm »It didn't upload correctly for some reason, fixed.
Tuners here claim they can get 300 to 315hp out of just a turbo upgrade on stock fueling parts. I've already told the guy that I'm not installing any of those parts just yet but we'll see what the actual gains are eventually.
EDIT: Checked again, you are right, I need injectors too. Will speak with my tuner again to see if he can limit it to under 300hp to be on the safe side till I get a hpfp, injectors and other supporting parts.

« Last post by OllieVRS on April 22, 2024, 04:50:49 pm »All looks good - but you will have to be careful, from what I read online upgrading turbo without injectors can lead to running too lean which is dangerous for the engine. Make sure the tuner is aware you are on stock injectors and you are limited. Perhaps 300hp is too optimistic without the fuel related mods?
Also the video you posted is private so I can't check it out.
