I was going to save the full reveal until a few more mods had been done but couldn't wait anymore :laugh: :laugh:
Well Saturday was a bit of a mixed day.
Very sad to let this one go but it's time had come :sad1:

She gave 19 months and 62K Miles of enjoyment :happy2:
But on the plus side I picked up this: -

6 months old and just 6k miles :smiley:
It a very nicely specced one too with: -
Reflex Silver Metallic
DSG (of course)
Black Vienna Leather
18" Monza Shadows
Adaptive Chassis Control
Active Corning Xenon's
Sunroof
RNS-510 & 6 CD Arm Rest Changer
Dynaudio
Bluetooth Telephone Prep
Front & Rear Sissy Sensors
Rear View Camera
Lux Pack
Winter Pack
Cruise Control
Initial impression is very very good and with some plans I have I am sure this will easily be a longer term match for the ED30 :smiley:
Favorite bits from the toys on the car so far are the new Xenon's with the side to side then up and down start-up dance :laugh: :laugh: and the great sound from the Dyaudio pack :party: :party:
Performance wise for the first 46 hours of ownership wasn't very impressive but a trip to Revo HQ first thing Monday morning soon started to address this. So with a nice Stage 1 TSI remap installed by Revo Carl I am very pleased with the improvement. The car just feels much more alive and really pulls well for a small turbo. The delivery of the increased power is completely OEM in it's feel but just soooooooo much stronger. On the motorway the in-gear acceleration really surprises and on my personal test route the Mk6 is only a few miles per hour slower on a point to point test than my ED30 :surprised:
Also dropped in the OSIR O-shift Ali paddle shifters which work great and look really good with the rest of the metal parts of the new Mk6 Steering wheel.
Lots more to come in the next few weeks including some OEM R-Line LED taillights :drool: :drool:

Very nice steve! LED rears :drool: Looking forward to seeing what you do to it! :happy2:

Looks very nice Steve well done :happy2:
I noticed on the US forums that APR are thinking about making a K04 upgrade kit for the TSI :wink:
-
^^^ Yep from what I understand :innocent: it's almost a straight bolt on with just one tab on the block needing to be trimmed down :party: :party:
I understand JKM are doing this conversion on their new TSI Octy they have on order :happy2:

so which you hadnt said that

steve does the TSI run the same k03 turbo as the Mk5 GTI.
what are the tuning stages for the TSI then
mk5 gets stage 1(240hp), 2 (260Hp) and 2+(280Hp)
what does the TSI get in comparison. the yanks seem to think the TSi has a lower torque??
-
I understand JKM are doing this conversion on their new TSI Octy they have on order
the skoda will be faster and betterer though :P

I forgot to ask jim at jkm if they had run any mk6 GTi's down there yet on their rollers. Some people have been saying 275ish on stage 1, but i have an inkling thats a tad high.Although seen a mk6 std car run 225 stock at Surrey RR day on Dyno Dynamics.

this is from JKM . i dont think there wuill be a stage 2+ though as ther is no fuel pump upgrade
Power Measurement results are as follows:
Stock Power = 207.7 BHP and 210 Ft/Lb
Revo � In Performance mode 2 for 98 RON = 243.8 BHP and 290 Ft/Lb
Result differentials are therefore +36.1 BHP and +80Ft/Lb over the standard levels.
Revo Software is available to go now and priced, at �499+Vat.
Best results will always be on good quality fuel � JKM recommend Shell V-Power

Looking good Mr P!....................................

(where are the bouncers....................)

I didn't think that the TSi platform needed a pump upgrade as it can run at 130bar without any issues, have I got it wrong?
-
So by the look of it, the same rough rate in rise compared to the k03 mk5's :smiley:
-

thats what i was thinking. therofore only a stage 1 and 2 upgrade required at a guess

torque is very strong though thast stage 2 TFSI torque territory

Well, if it is the case I would guess that they could probably run a derivation of Stage 2+ code, as the pre-requisital pump is already there :happy2:

Nice one, Steve :happy2:
Glad to see you're modding it. Jim at JKM highly rates the Mk6 GTI engine.
-
Very nice, missed this thread originally and was wondering what you were after next - and I have to say I like the choice.
As for PPA, I had a loan car with it on - what a load of tosh, by the time you've set it up if you can drive you could have parked the car and got your ticket.
I am tempted with a mk6 GTI more and more over the R now, I just think they can look better very easily and like you say plug in the KO4 and you have all the power you would need.
-
I had an inkling it would be a MKVI GTI. :happy2:
K04'd TSI - I've seen the thread on the GolfMKV forum, but it just makes me wonder why the TSI wasn't used for the Scirocco and Golf R's if it is such an easy bolt-on job! I can understand ease of development, but it isn't like VW to go down the route of using an "older" engine :confused:
-
Welcome to silver mk6 ownership Steve!
Bring on the LED rear lights.
There's a K04 converted mk6 in this months Volkswagen Driver magazine. The conversion was done by Awesome GTI http://www.volkswagendrivermag.co.uk/ using APR kit

If you are referring to the stage III kit, then it's not a K04 but a Garret Turbo, APR doesn't at present have a K04 kit for the TSI :wink:
-
Using the old TFSI engine is an odd one, the main reason must be cost as it was already out there in the S3

Yup. but it'll be interesting to see if there are some new revisions of the weak parts from our "old" TFSI :happy2:

very smart :driver:

Looking good Steve..
Its kool when you start the car and the zenons start cutting shapes lol.
-
Very nice, mega spec too. :happy2:
-
Looks lovely Steve :drool: :drool: :drool:

very nice look forward to seeing the mods evolve. but surely some of the mods would have just transfered straight over wouldnt they?? intake, exhaust coilovers...
-
intake is different as i understand it, different size MAF housing maybe?? :confused:

Some of it was transferable, but would not put a few of the things I had on my ED30 on a car again so am starting afresh :happy2:
-
cool, look forward to the build thread! :pomppomp:
-
nice car that steve , looks better than my mates R IMO
-
very nice, glad you found one :happy2:, good spec too
-
Such a shame about the Eddie gone to visit the big man in the sky. :sad1:
But a new chapter begins. So let the modding madness begin. (https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Ftomashandmilly%2FDaft_stuff%2Flaurelandhardyavatar.gif&hash=2203f671125d2bb033d00a421972fb9bb4b3a532)

Nice choice Steve and good to see you never bolted from the VAG stable (not that I ever thought you would mind :wink:).
Look forward to seeing the build thread and awaiting the results of how the MkVI responds to certain levels of mods..
You likely to upgrade the turbo at a later date do you think? :evilgrin:
-
I like the ED30 better....still very nice though, looking forward to the new project. Can you not change the pulley on the supercharger ala Mini Cooper S or is that a no go? :ashamed:
Clearly you can tell i'm no mechanic.

Mk GTI = turbo = exhaust gases drives turbo.
Supercharger = engine crankshaft driven via pulley, pulley can be changed to raise Boost; turbo = no pulley :wink:

No supercharger on the 2.0 TSI mate. Well AFAIK anyway.... :confused:
-
Ok cool, I was under the impression they were Supercharged and turbocharged, dont let me near an engine with a spanner :signLOL:

Thats the 1.4TSI unit which has both, well the 170bhp version of it does.

will you go for an itg again steve. simple pipe swap for the k04 onversion as well??

Woah! How the fudge did I miss this thread?!?
Awesome car. Thought it would be a mk6. Time to update that signature! Over than the new car look and feel, does it drive better than the ED30?
-

I might have popped in to see the King of all things air filter related yesterday :laugh: :laugh:
So what this space :party: :party:
-
keep us posted on that as i know of a few guys interested in intakes on the TSI. is it the same ko3 turbo as the TFSI steve
-
Nice new ride Steve, delicious spec, our MK6 did the 225 at Surrey RR day Phil mentioned so they seem to be a strong motor from the get go. look forward to hearing about the mods and your thoughts on the drivability of the engine. :happy2:
-
keep us posted on that as i know of a few guys interested in intakes on the TSI. is it the same ko3 turbo as the TFSI steve
Nope this one is going to be different to the TFSI kit and won't share any parts :wink:

no i meant is the turbo n the TSI the same as the turbo on the TFSI as in k03s
-
Not sure TBH, it appears to be same as the TFSI K03 :happy2:
-
im interested to see how well the TSI remaps. because im tempted to pick up a facelift vRS and transfer all my handling mods accross.
-
Steve what have I told you about those electirc supercharger intakes on eBay!
-
im interested to see how well the TSI remaps. because im tempted to pick up a facelift vRS and transfer all my handling mods accross.
The plan is to get some Stage 1 dyno runs done once I have an intake so this should give you a good idea, I don't plan on bothering with Stage 2 and will try to go straight to a K04 :happy2:

Now that I am looking forward to seeing.. :party:
-
Hmm, wonder what kind of an output you'd get with a K04 on a TSI GTI MKVI.
I know that the MKVI gets a higher output from the K03, but I think that is more to do with the OEM fuel pump than the TSI engine. Is the compression ratio the same for the TSI as the TFSI?
Still I reckon 300+bhp is an easy bet. :happy2:
-
^^^^ not too fussed about the numbers nor am I looking to set any records. Just think that will give a nice end result and give me back some of the power I have become acustom too :happy2:
-
I can't fault that ethos Steve :happy2:

good to hear Steve. Just filter alone, no remap yeah?

Looking forward to following your thread and mods. :happy2:

you've remapped the mk6 already! crikey :signLOL:
-
Yep it lasted 46 hours after being collected and it only took that long as Revo where closed on the Saturday and Sunday :laugh: :laugh:
-
Ok, here's the real development from ITG.
Myself and the media whore Wigit went up to see the air-filtration guru that is Andy @ ITG :notworthy: :notworthy:
This is a development version of what's going to become there Mk6 K03 intake. Based on a smaller filter than the TFSI kit that is enclosed in the aluiminum housing. This attaches to the stock maf housing and remaining intake pipework. There is some where work scheduled to improve the rest of the stock intake pipework but for a first attempt development it I am over the moon :happy2:
Here's a quick pic's

Previously my car had recorded peak airflow across the maf of 197g/s, immediately this has increased to a new peak of 213g/s from the logging I did on my way home, so a very health increase of a stage 1 mapped car. :happy2:
-
So according to intake flow that equates to around a 20bhp increase at stage 1 over stock intake.....sweeeet! :smiley:
-
Love the rear lights.
-
Looking good Mr P................
:happy2:
-
If I'm interpreting what I see correctly that ITG is looking very exciting and encloses the filter.
As others have said, the R tails are very stylish indeed.
-
very nice Steve :congrats:
The question is, are ITG now going to retro modify the mk5 kit to use an enclosed design?
-

....That would really tidy things up and dispel all my criticisms of the Mk5's ITG.

DO YOU GET INCREASED INDUCTION NOISE WITH THE ENCLOSED FILTER STEVE ?
-
can't fault ITG given we both went in only last friday, form really does follow function and when final finsih is applied will look spot on, that sticker still makes me laugh :wink:
results were impressive on steve's especailly where peak power kicked in
rear lights look spot on :happy2:

I hadn't noticed what the sticker said until you pointed it out - Very subtle and very funny. It's the sticker covering up the 'Thermos' stamping isn't it? Don't worry, I'm only taking the piss. It all looks very promising :happy2:
-
Looks brilliant Steve, one thing that I'm interested in is can you actually feel the XDS doing anything when pushing the car?
-
Liking the look of everything so far Steve :popcornsoda: :drool:

Umm not really like a conventional diff, but as a stock car the Mk6 handles better and feels sharper than the Mk5 :happy2:

Very nice so far Steve! Need to see more photos of those gorgeous lights though!!!

^^^ A lot for a set of lights :rolleye:

Shame the indicators are not LED too - do look nice.
Whats the issue with the fog/reverse then - are these left handers? Can you not get the R right hand yet?
Edit: The GTI is now starting to grow on me more and more, maybe more than the R is :surprised: Thinking back the standard GTI from the factory took a while to grow on me too, a few descreet mods makes all the difference.

Some thing like that :laugh: :laugh:
Today there was three mods completed.
Jay is close with coilies, Nath might be close with another mod that will be coming very soon and Mcavity :indifferent:
As I have the ACC option I choose to go with some KW sport springs with around a 25mm drop.
To complement this I also added some KW adjustable front and rear anti roll bars.
And finally to help with the engine slop and off the line traction a VWR Fast road lower mount.
The results :jumping: :jumping: :jumping: :jumping: :driver: :driver: :driver: :driver: :driver: :jumping: :jumping: :jumping: :jumping: :jumping:

Oooooohhhh, me looky forward to seeing the afters :popcornsoda: :drool:
-
cool :happy2:
any changes required via VAGCOM for lowered + ACC ?
-
Exciting prospects ahead :happy2:
and Mcavity :indifferent:
Was just a Joke fella. Sorry if that hit a nerve :ashamed:
-
cool :happy2:
any changes required via VAGCOM for lowered + ACC ?
Nope all is well with the ACC and no recoding required, you just can't go too low :happy2:
So the comfort mode is still nice and smooth but sport is now really firmed up and handles better than my ED on the coilies :driver:
-
Very well considered set of mods. However, personally I would definitely not have ticked the ACC option box in the first place.
-

I would have it no worries. When we had the test day with the professional driver we asked him to show us how this feature worked and it was an eye opener for sure he was doing 80 on a rough road then put it in comfort and was able to drive much faster.
Most people think you just put it in comfort on the motorways and sport for driving fast.
Not so. :wink:
-
looking good steve :wink:
-
Yawn! Any more comments on how she's driving now mr pound? Wish you were bringing it up next week for me to drool over. Haha!
-
Can anyone delete the last few comments. FWIW I thought Mcavity was just jesting and meant no malice.
Anyway, I agree with nousey. That video is definitely cool as f00k. I loved the rear lights on thr mk6 and the led ones are even more impressive. The best bit is the reverse cam!!! Can't wait to get it on my car.

Not so. :wink:
....That's very interesting. I reckon that not a single one of the VW showroom salespeople will say anything other than set Comfort for M'ways and Sport for driving fast.
Although I am not a professional I did do a lot of swapping between the ACC settings on both the Rocco and Mk6 GTI I drove and although I found Comfort very smooth as expected I simply preferred the harder feedback from Sport. I think I need to find out more about exactly what the ACC does. I'm a little cynical about what a professional hired to demo a car at a public launch has to say, but you were there and experienced it firsthand.
I'm thinking that SteveP will be aching to visit the Ring as soon as he can.
-
^^^ The ACC only adjust the damping (on the suspension side of things) IIRC, so with the factory springs it isn't great when pushing on when comparing it to my old ED30 with the coilovers and ARB's.
What the change of springs has done for me is given it the best of both worlds, in Sport it feels firmer and sharper but without being too crashy or harsh. While in comfort it soaks up the bumps much better (which is great on the motorways or rough B roads) but still with the better / sharper feel from the new springs.
The ARB's have massively reduced the body roll (especially in comfort mode) and the turn feels great. I have them set firm on the rear and soft on the front for a neutral balance.
And here are a couple of quick pictures for how she sits now: -

Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much better Steve :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool:

^^^^
Exactly as you say "best of both worlds" - A bit like a more developed and more effective version of the KoniFSD system.
I see where you're coming from: A comfortable road car to do the high mileages but also 'sporty' enough to really enjoy driving harder, especially at trackdays or special German toll roads.

Wow, it got a self raising spoiler like the Corrados!

Ok question is can it be done to a mk5?
Very nice for the shopping trip :happy2: or knock out some noisey oik looking in the car :signLOL:
-
^^^ Yep, on the Mk6 is costs less than £30 and takes less than 5 mins to install, the Mk5 costs a bit more but is just as easy to do :happy2:
-
Do you find that it has moved the boot alignment at all? I was going to do this ages ago but some people mentioned that it put pressure on the boot forcing it out of alignment. Is this the case or is it BS?
Very cool and handy mod! :happy2:
-
that looks uber cool :congrats:

is it just new boot struts and catch ? or anything else involved ?
good progress all round :smiley:

I spotted them easily as I was looking at some on Monty's wheels website late last year - 18" and the right offset and stud pattern. Very good price too!!

^^^ Already got some new 18" sorted as the "go" wheels. These are going to be my "show" wheels as they are 19's :happy2:

^^^^
Being OZ and although 19's they'll still be fairly lightweight won't they?

^^^ Not sure TBH, not really a major consideration for me :happy2:

Feels like a totally different car :driver:
-
Very nice. :happy2:
-
^^^^
Very very very nice indeed! I love the colour but it's obvious that I would because it's similar to the titanium colour of my OZ's.
Those TD's are going be lighter weight and, as I think you're saying, it's what makes the car feel different and more focussed.
You're really illustrating well how much a Mk6 GTI benefits from being modded.
-
Lovely wheelz Steve :happy2:
-
Loveley :drool:
I almost went for that coulour but decided on the silver as it was more of a change from the detroits...

Last one reminds me, I NEED bigger brakes :laugh: :laugh:

i like steve , think i need some !! are they anthacite finish ?? :happy2:

^^^ Yes satin anthracite :happy2:
-
is that a special order for vwr as i could nt find that colour option on rimstock website , do you mind me asking how much c/w tyres ? pm me if you prefere :happy2:
-
^^^ Yes this is a VWR special finish :happy2:
Wheels are around £130 per rim + VAT, they are more than the standard PR 1.2's because of the custom finish and that they don't have the plastic spiggot on the back of the rim.
I brought the Michelin's PS3's myself from Costco for £559 fitted :smiley:

Steve the vwr wheels are gorgeous!! So much nicer than the team dynamics finish. Add that to the fact I think te 1.2s suit the mk6 much more than the mk5 and your on a winner. The car looks superb!!

milltek = cheap bolt on tailpipes :sick:
blueflame = better quality but to noisy for my daily :chicken:
apr = new mortgage requied :stupid:

Steve the vwr wheels are gorgeous!! So much nicer than the team dynamics finish. Add that to the fact I think te 1.2s suit the mk6 much more than the mk5 and your on a winner. The car looks superb!!
And brakes, yep! Give dave a shout! ;)
Cheers Jay :happy2:
On the brakes I will be just fine sorting them myself :mad:

That's a no brainer, APR for their quality and RSC tech, even my missus loves it, it only talks loud when i make it :laugh:
-
^^^ I like the idea of the APR but the price just doesn't justify the end product (about £1300 + VAT for the Mk6), nor is there any dealers near me.
-
i know UK is Milltek country, but try to meet up with a forum member having the APR and take a ride, best get it on a lift and see for yourself the quality of, the compare to Milltek and then make your decision.
i would say in this case, you get what you pay for :drinking:
-
Blueflame ftw!!
I wish The s3 was knocking around when you were up in the unit. It sounds bonkers when you want it too but then on the motorway it's quiet as a mouse!

That's the thing, I have been out in one and it sounded good, but after seeing the quality of one (all be it on a Mk5 Edition 30) on a ramp I wasn't massively impressed. The one I saw you could move the tailpipes up and down as it seamed too heavy for the rubber hanger and it was blowing on two of the joints. I know some of this could be down to the install, but still for a very premium priced system I expected better :rolleye:
-
Blueflame ftw!!

I am starting to think it's the future but need to hear one on the Mk6 as with the different engine the stock Mk6 system is louder than the Mk5 anyway :happy2:
-
if u give Nigel a call mate and ask if they do one for the mk6 gti and if not be the first and get it silly cheap :smiley: thats what i did saved me sh1t loads
-
^^^ They have already done one for the Mk6 :happy2:
Money (within reason) isn't the issue, it the quality of the system and the sound that's important :smiley:

Been down the Milltek and APR road with exhausts. The APR quality and tech involved is superb IMO with a superb noise when you want and not at all boomy in the cabin.
I suspect you maybe able to strike up a deal with Awesome on a deal for the MK6 item because I suspect you maybe one of the first MK6's with their system. Give a test in the first instance you'll be impressed!
Mine was on an Edition 30 with stage 2 mapping and I loved every minute as did the missus.

Where did you get the OZ wheels from, and how much new? 19" x 8 ET48 I take it?

jesus , at this rate youll be taking Nathans crown off him... :signLOL:
19's just balance the mk6 (and mk5) shape imho. but alas they tend to be heavier too
mmm cant wait to see what youre getting next

Hi Steve,
here is the result of a greek GTI MK6 with KO4 :happy2:
http://www.etuners.gr/index.php?s=13&t=213
-
sorry mate but i much prefere the td s on your car the oz s dont bring out the best of the mk 6 for me :happy2:
-
I think because the mk6 looks quite boxy, especially with those tall-looking doors,
it needs a good smack with the tough stick to help it connect with the ground. This
oz is a lovely wheel but the spokes are just too thin for the mk6. Now if this car was
wearing a chunkier spoke finished in gunmetal . . . ooooh yes :happy2:
-
Well I love them! :P
-
You know my thoughts on these wheels PG. I am with the younguns on this. 8)

Just need to get a few more things sorted on the car as progress has stalled of late :sad1:
Top of the list is brakes now :smiley:

No thanks to the DVLA for the delays in getting my my plate transferred :mad:
Cheers to MikeB for selling me the Red OEM GTI Badges, a result the plinth for the front is the same as the Mk5 as it is on the Mk6 :happy2:
-
Steve,
Are you getting the Miltek TBE ?
The bigger exhaust tips would looks superrrrb on your car :drool:
-
^^^^ yes a TBE is next on the list. Just waiting on a couple of recent developments in this area to be confirmed :happy2:
-
Update, part 2 :smiley:
After a lot of investigation into various brake upgrade options and then finally not being able to get my initial choice sorted, a call to the Professor of all things brake related (aka DaveB) was made :laugh:
End result is two things, one the realisation that I should have gone to Dave first :notworthy: and second I really was missing out by not getting around to upgrading the brakes properly on my old ED30.
So here's what I ended up with.
Fronts - AP Racing 6 pots with two piece discs :party:

And the rears - Mk5 R32's Brakes with the Calipers painted gloss black (plus new OEM discs with the hubs painted with BBQ black paint)
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2FStevep_010%2FBrakes%2FDSCF2487.jpg&hash=492bfb2046c996f94c7aaa67a851f012810c12e2)
I have now had these fitted for a week and have put a good few hundred miles on them. They have really bedded in well and give a nice progressive feel for the "normal" daily driving, but when pushing on they really have some serious stopping power, the R32 rears give a great balance to the overall package. I know the 6 pots are probably over kill for the Golf but I love them and they suit my heavy size 12 feet perfectly :love:
So thanks to DaveB for supplying the kit and to the TT Shop for fitting these (and sorting the wheel alignment issues on the car at the same time) :congrats:
-
now that is nice!!!!
wouldn't mind a set on the R after the blast at Combe last friday...the 345's are good for the road but not so good for track work really. Hmmm.

thanks to Adam (mongy) for a great deal.
Can't wait for Saturday to get them on the car :popcornsoda:

How many wheels can one car have..........................
Looking good Mr P.!!
-
Arguably the best OEM wheel fittable to golf/rocco, best looking, most desireable....
Just wait to see the pics of a Mk6 with these on it'll be awesome.
Welcome to the Helios Club Steve..... :pomppomp:
Glad you like the brakes mate
-
ace decision, will look awesome on your car, :notworthy:
-
Looking fantastic Steve!!
-
I would be outside now fitting the wheels. :pomppomp:
-
Will be very interesting to see them fitted! Personally I'm not a fan of the Helios wheels, but as I have yet to see them fitted to a Mk6 I will reserve my final judgement for now!
-
I think they will look gash and as a result you should trade them with me for 2 x very well behaved children. :laugh: :wink:
Mrs P will love them! :pomppomp:

Oh dear lord Steve,THE Helios :notworthy: :love:

Cheers for all the comments :happy2:

....Me too. I actually don't like the Helios wheels. They seem to be a marmite thing - So many people rave about them but imo they look very dated and mk4.
-
I loved them on my MK4 still think they are beautiful alloys! - having said that I'm not sure how they will look on a MKVI .. we shall see
-
think they will look immense epecially with a hint of smoked chrome :happy2:

Thats the good thing about them, they're also a simple wheel really and in the flesh certainly look better than in the pics as the OEM colour is a almost a pearly very metallicy silver.
The other thing is rareity value, CH's, CK's TD's all done to death, I bought mine from a guy who had them as a spare set to his other set of Helios alloys he had fitted to his car..... he was proud as punch as he didn't see ONE other car with them on at Ed38 last year. Theres only ever been 12 Phaetons sold in the UK with them on and only ever 50 odd supplied through the dealer parts system. Nate priced em up yesterday at 2600 quid without tyres and bought his from the US.
Rare is good
-
yours is the only rocco dave i've seen with em other than the VW launch car, strange as 95% of 19'' i've seen on roccos look sh#te you would have thought they might have cottoned on

Rare is good
....Whereas I agree that "rare is good" in the sense that more sameness results in less distinction, and also that rareness results in more financial gain when selling, I'm offering my opinion based on only purely aesthetic grounds (and reserving final judgement until seeing them fitted). Aesthetics have nothing to do with rarity or value or provenance (history) - It's a purely individual emotional response which doesn't even need any intellectual analysis.
However, all that matters is what Steve thinks of them and not our opinions/likes/dislikes.

But I think its fair to say you're either on the fence or you're a fan theres little to dislike about them imho

Which is why I described them as marmite :happy2:
They do look ace on that white Rocco.

brakes are awesome Steve :happy2: so jealous
Helios are an awesome wheel that is gorg and rare, gonna look stunning.
(the only downside is that the weight of them may blunt the feel after fitting a lightweight BBK and previous lightweight wheels, but what price style :laugh:)
onyl problem is that the pace you keep these cars/mods coming, my wallet twitches everytime I see an update to the thread :signLOL:

I can see the Helios working well on a MK6 - there's some more defined lines and angles to tie in with them, the MK5 was (dare I say it) a bit blobby to carry them off?
Brakes look ace too. Well done Dave (Tabs has your hubs if he hasn't told you BTW).

Got bored this today so tried wrapping the front lower spliter (Thanks to VC for the Vinyl :notworthy:). However the combination of my wrapping skills and the sh*t load of stone chips on the spliter I gave that up as a bad job :laugh:
So after some rubbing down, plastic primer and satin black spray here's the result: -

thats got to be a blueflame as i am sure thats your car on there site or it looks like it

Perhaps SteveP's Neighbour has moved house since his Milltek was too noisey for their liking. If he's fitted a Blueflame, maybe a box of ear defenders as a peace offering wouldnt go a miss :signLOL:

Really really impressed with the system so far, the quality of the metalwork and welding is top notch, and as for the sound :evilgrin:
There is no getting away from it, it's a loud system, but even for me the important part on the bulk on the daily commute on the motorway there is no drone :star:
The idle purrrrr noise, overrun popping and DSG burp are most definitely my favorite parts systems character :smiley:

Looking good Mr P.
Wonder why Revo have gone with BlueFlame rather than stay allied with Milltek? Fair question. :confused:
Either way looking good. My Milltek MK4 1.8T TBE used to grow by about 1.5". The stainless when warm, tries to straighten itself out, so has to go somewhere. my current Milltek does it too, but only by about 3/4".

Yes they should fit with the Monza II but may need a very small spacer.
4/6 pot refers to the number of pistons that caliper uses to press the pad on to the disc. My AP's are similar in spec to the VWR's but have a slightly larger disc. :happy2:

Yes the VWR wheels are keepers that's for sure.
The helios will get moved on after the summer to fund so other changes :happy2:

You got any plans for the front plate? you guys req foreign shores so you need the GB part cant but feel a smaller plate would tidy up a top Mk6 :happy2:

I am considering a US spec bumper so I can get rid of the plate plinth but I am not sure the more angular front of the Mk6 suits the cleaner look like the MK5 does :confused:

Theres no doubt about the MK6 being the 'grown-up' hot hatch but I just cant get on with the ala ST exhausts...just dont suit it imo!!
Love the VWR rims though...looks mint wilth them on.

....If it were me I think I'd dump any oem mount and get a plastic front plate and stick it slighter higher so it's visually 'contained' across the front bumper bodywork.
My plate stays on very well indeed with just stickies.. But I haven't been to Wolverhampton again with it!

It is 362x32mm :happy2:
Do you have a weight comparison to the R32 setup?? How much saved with these AP six pot?? :happy2:

After doing a "normal" track, not the ring, i found that i might need a bit more inspiring brakes than the R :sad1:32 that can cope better with the heat from normal track use. So i'm just watching the options out there :drinking: and saw your orange pot, so thought i needed to reread your tread :wink:
-
Just a quick update, finally the "Dale Winton" of brakes have been fitted: -

Combined with some SBS ceramic pads initial feedback is very positive, they are already providing good stopping power without being OTT, so a massive thanks to Professor Friction (aka DaveB) :smiley:
Also did some geeky stuff today too, thanks for Darren (Morty) for suppling a nice new version C RNS with the LED screen to upgrade from my original version B unit. Also fitted the new 7P6 Bluetooth kit.
Finally VW have released a premuim kit that works with the iPhone and support A2DP bluetooth audio streaming :pomppomp:

Wow, looks wonderful !! :party:

Need better pics please, cant really see the colour of the calipers to well. Looking nice though. :happy2:

Agree with the cat as they looked a bit red at first! :confused:
Had a feeling you'd go for the later RNS! :innocent: So is that a service Darren is offering?
-
^^^ I just borought the RNS off Darren and have sold my old unit on.
Unfortunately the brakes are coming off to be refinished again due to them being covered in brake fluid during the install, so better pics are a couple of weeks off now :sad1:

looking good fella :happy2:
-
i guess that is the issue with having the cone fitted right in front of the slam panel, its wide open to all of the elements. its doing its job though, no doubt.
With that amount of crud on the outside did you not notice a drop off in performance?
Also it looks as though the glue that they use to secure to the sides of the filter material when it is wrapped around the cone frame is coming away!! are you going for a new filter or just cleaning that one?
on a sidde note how close is the stage 2 map to completion now steve? very interested to see how much better the TSI is
-
The future is indeed bright! :laugh:
How does the ITG sound?

Nice to see you have cleaned your bay for the pics as well. :happy2:

i wonder if that kinda setup works on the OEM 345mm discs too :smiley:

It has some of the whoosh / wastegate chatter but nothing like the Mk5 kit :sad1:

steve- yours is the most sorted mk6 ive seen and i drooled over a blue R the other day too mate, just loving the mods!
the lip is so clean and the exhaust is just fcuking wow!

matsu
Steve, Love the VMR TD's.... they really do suit your car. Are they 18x8, if so do they extend out much past the front wheel arch?
Thanks MAW73
-
Yes they are 8x18's with a 45 offset so sit perfectly in the arch, and even with the lowering springs I get no rubbing (now the front arch screw mod has been sorted).
-
is that design going to be retro fitted to the mk5 itg kit Steve (ie enclosed filter )?
-
Nope as its been tried on a certain peanut heads car at inters and it won't fit. :happy2:
-
It can be done if you fit a smaller battery or move it to the boot, but it is a lot of hassle to effectively reduce the noise. I have been suprized how quiet the ITG has been on my car until today, when i changed my revo settings, and it has gone noticeably louder :chicken:
-
we've had watergate now its baygate :grin:
Ok, I will come clean, that's Revo's brand new Mk6 with the ITG kit, mine is a dirty as ever :grin: :grin:

ah ok thanks. I like the enclosed design as it keeps the oily bits covered. :happy2:

Next up and probably my best value for money is a bit of an audio upgrade.
The car already has the awesome dynaudio package but the bass was too much for the door speakers, so cue an ebay bargain to sort this.

Also it looks as though the glue that they use to secure to the sides of the filter material when it is wrapped around the cone frame is coming away!! are you going for a new filter or just cleaning that one?
That happened to the ITG cone you sold me, Sy after I cleaned it with petrol and soapy water. I just glued it back with some black silicone gasket / sealant stuff. Worked a treat :happy2:

Also bleed the brake again and finally have the pedal feeling 100% right, the only downside is my chosen colour doesn't seam to want to stick on the calipers, so a colour change is on the cards again :rolleye:

Looking good :happy2:

Cool! :happy2:
So whats up with the calipers mate?
-
+1. Problem with the finish again? Are you going to do them in GTI red?

.
What's the story on those J-grooves, Steve? Which disc manufacturer did them?
Word on the street is that the J is the best groove to have.
-
Think these are custom jobbies made by daveb.
-
^^^ Correct they are DaveB custom's on apecs discs :happy2:
Cool! :happy2:
So whats up with the calipers mate?
The paint is cracking again around the dimpled areas on the caliper faces and the clear coat has the resistance of a wet paper bag to chipping and discolouring. :sad1:
Going to try something different with someone local when I have some time.
-
^^^ Correct they are DaveB custom's on apecs discs :happy2:

Why J ??? Any reason?? Does look abit odd imo. Im sure there's a scientific reason for it :ashamed:
Perhaps the letters GTi would of looked more professional.

The J - Hook has better initial bite at higher speeds so i am told but were pads quicker

Excellent thread - just spent an hour getting up to speed.
SteveP you have a knack of making people jealous!
-

....Just an observation and only evident in some of the J's, not all.
form over function as always with RR :signLOL:
....Not so.
Function AND form is the ideal to aim for. IIRC, some disc manufacturers have succeeded in producing clean and sharp looking J's.
-
Probably because they have hundreds of thousands of pounds to spend on r&d let alone CNC machining.
I reckon those j hooks on steves discs are almost all the way there but without a massive cost. Win win IMO! ;)

Right wots going on here people having a go at my J Hook Discs :fighting: - they took me for ever with a hammer and chisel Robin :P
Its actually very simple - the 286 disc is the smallest disc we've had to program and the J's are physically the smallest ones that have had to have been machined, with the cutter repositioning every 20th of a mm then they have a condensed size in which to appear smooth.
The other point to to mention is that they are supposed to be staggered as one scavenges and one vents and with a limited amount of room (diameter and swept area) it took some careful planning
A 1000 miles wear and some pad material in there will see them looking great with the edges being a little less defined.
Besides its about performance - other users reporting non empirical improved stopping especially in the wet for some reason (Im still getting my head around that one) and good road manners as evidently they are quieter with no swooshing over the straight grooves
Offer still stands Steve - stood here dutifully with a paint brush if you decide on a less Teflon like colour :sad1:
Cars looking great Steve

-
I am really surprised by the wheels too, they are a stop gap as the offset combined with the 235's on the rears won't work too well with the next mod I ordered today :innocent:
-
Spacers??? :popcornsoda:
-
Love the colour coded strips steve, but being honest i preffered the contrast of the Anthracite TD's :happy2:
-
Yep, have been on the development version of stage 2 for a few months, was updated about three weeks ago as well :happy2:
how is it mate?? any figures or even predicted figures yet?
-
^^^ It's almost there, a couple of issues to iron out, but Revo now have their own Mk6 (a 5 door in Reflex Silver as well), so things are moving on pretty quickly now.
No projected figures but it's feels as quick as my ED30 did on Stage 1.
Shouldn't be long before they have a K04 kit either :jumpmove: :jumpmove:
-
Love the colour-matched grille stripes and brakes. Think the silver/orange combo works really well - i had a pair of Nikes the same colour scheme as your car!

so your thinking in the region of 280-290Hp then. i hear the torque on these is much stronger than that of the TFSI k03.
what other engine mods are available for this? now there is no HPFP is stage 2 the maximum you can muster without k04, although from the APR info on awesom ewebsite, the k04 conversion yields much stronger results on the TSI than it did on the TFSI

.
What's the story on those J-grooves, Steve? Which disc manufacturer did them?
Word on the street is that the J is the best groove to have.
Sat watching the BTCC from Brands and they do a piece about the future of the touring cars. They just so happen to unveil their vision for the future and guess what it has the J-hook design all over the discs.

Mint mate :happy2: been looking at a set for the cayman to work with pasm, not cheap like but awesome, look forward to your review
-
Yep, I can't wait. The KW system keeps the ACC control active so you can still select the modes to change the steering feel and throttle response but the ECU still thinks the dampers are present and working :innocent:
-
OOF :driver: I didn't know these where available. :pomppomp:
-
They had to be sent directly from KW in Germany so I don;t think there is many installs of this in the UK so far.
-
It makes good sense that they have come up with a answer for this. There market was limited before. :smiley:
-
According to the box the kit works with Mk6 Golf, Scirocco, Passat CC and Eos, so it seams all the ACC cars :happy2:

Time for some more updates.
First a geeky one. Another bluetooth kit, (forth one in a year :laugh:)
This time it's the new 3C8 kit with suport for text messages as well as audio streaming

Very nice Steve :happy2:
Something a little different from the norm.

Not much room only cos the caliper is sitting close to the centre due to the 312s I reckon. Pushing the caliper further out on some 350s should show plenty of clearance :happy2:

any dyno printouts from REVO stage 2 steve.
reading JKMs section on the other websites, his made 277Hp/325Lbft with evoms, S3 cooler and cat back exhaust with only the REVO stage 1 map.
so yours id guess is pushing around the 290-300Hp mark. although apparently it then started pulling back after hitting a torque limit.
that and JKMs rollers read quite low compared to others
-
No dyno plots as yet.
A similar spec car with the latest Revo Stage 2 file ran 298bhp on PDT's Dyno Dynamics last week: -

Nice one Mr P. :popcornsoda:
-
:surprised: :surprised: :surprised:
360 ft/lbs....
bloody hell!
That new engine is bonkers. I mean are you going to hit 350 bhp / 400 ft lb with a K04 bolted onto it then??
I knew getting the R with the old engine was a bad mistake. Grrrr. Not having much luck with choosing the right engine these days :signLOL:
-
Is that 298hp on a MK6 GTI TSI engine with a KO3 turbo???????????????? :surprised: :surprised: :surprised:
-
it doesnt have a K03...its something smaller (maybe) but damn efficient at what it does!
i think its the internal improvements in the engine that allows it to make these numbers imo.
-
Not a K03 it's an IHI.
-
Plus no fuel pump limitations :happy2:
-
very nice. hate the way PDT scales his graphs though. makes it dificult to check the curve on the graph.
How does it feel compared to a stage 1/2 k04 then? that must be quicker, definitely faster spooling id imagine.
Also its not just 360lbft, your above 300lbft from around 2800-5200rpm. thats immense.
what about the clutch on the mk6. is it the same as the mk5,
@ chungster, APR claimed 380Hp for the k04 conversion on the tsi, and they are normally quite reserved.
-
I know of a mk6 gti runing ko4 pushing 400bhp on the rollers and so does Rubbertoe its apparently turned down to 370bhp or there abouts just now and clutch is slipping as I say Rubbertoe knows more on spec but can confirm my 350bhp ed 30 up against his was like chalk and cheese on a private test track :surprised: :driver:
-
Steve
from JKMs facebook page they reckon that REVO are going to be writing a K04 code for the TSI
-
.
Is your Mk6 a DSG car, Steve? If so, dry 7-speed IIRC?
-
Yes DSG but 6 speed wet. But a different version to that found in most of the Mk5's.
We have the 7 speed dry in out posh Golf.
-
Yes DSG but 6 speed wet. But a different version to that found in most of the Mk5's.
....Cheers, Steve. So I expect that the different DSG box of tricks will be upgraded in its max torque capacity.
-
^^^^ Nope not difference of the torque handling, it's the electronics and control system side of the box that has changed, hence the reason no DSG remaps are available it as yet.
what about the clutch on the mk6. is it the same as the mk5,
@ chungster, APR claimed 380Hp for the k04 conversion on the tsi, and they are normally quite reserved.
The APR kit was GT28 based that got 380, their K04 code is somewhere around 350bhp.
I believe the clutch is the same on the Mk6 as the Mk5.

Are you sure steve?
those figures were from awesome GTIs website for the k04 TSI conversion. it even mentioned in the write up that the k04 yielded better results on the TSI than the TFSI due to the stronger internals and better HPFP
-
If it was the Red car that was also in VW Driver then yes 100% sure.
-
:happy2:dont know of any cars with it, so i wasnt referring to that mate. i read that in the sales jargon on awesome website.
W hos are yougoing to for this software then, have you considered going APR via JKM?
-
I have already driven a Mk6 with a K04 that was done by GTI Engineering / Morego so that a possibility, one thing I do know for sure is that it wouldn't be done by JKM with APR code.
-
Steve's right just go on APR's site and have a look at their stage 3 kit for mk6 Gti. Uses a Garrett turbo which we'll assume is the GT28RS.
-
Well at least Morego is not far from you steve which is s good thing if u go with Brodie B.
-
what about getting a Hybrid k04 from the off? that could be really interesting
-
I think a hybrid would be pushing the stock internals a bit too far :laugh:
-
ahhh stock internals are consumables, dont worry about them
-
So that turbo u posted up is a hybridised K04 then??? :wink:
-
There's a boy up here running a mk6 gti with ko4 I believe some issues of late but think they might be resolved, it was supposed to be at a r/r i was at a few weeks ago.
-
So REVO is a no go then? JKM are pretty certain its happening, as they arent even bothering with the stage 2 map, they are going straight to k04 spec as the next mod,
maybe its a code they will write in time but just not right now i guess
-
I see the peeps at "Lager" Autosport has fitted a AWE K04 kit to a Mk6 GTI also, using GIAC software (converted from US Spec for European use too)
-
Back to the current mods, kept the ride height a little higher for the winter, but will go lower come the spring: -

After ordering them as I saw more pic's I wasn't 100% sure I was going to like them, but after getting them on mine I am really pleased with the results.
Next up was a bit of a temp change on the brakes, while looking for something a bit bigger than the porker 4 pots I decided to stick a set of S3's on with the Mintex M1144 pads and some Golf R pad clips

I can say I can feel much change over the porkers and the weight has upset anything on the handling, so as a temp measure until something else comes along I am quite happy. :happy2:

How are those new DRLs switched, Steve? Manually switched on/off or is there any aspect of them automatic such as on ignition?
They look so much better than the standard Mk6 'DRLs' which aren't really, imo.
-
Those DRL's look fab as do the alloys :drool:
-
Liking the wheels and lights, I am hoping they do something similar to the scirocco lights , mind you there about £400 each aren't they !!!, were yours new ?

The DRL's work as follows: -
Headlight Switch Off = All lights Off
Headlight Switch Auto (Day light) = LED DRL's Front Only On
Headlight Switch Auto (Night) = Normal Dipped Beam Xenon's plus dimmed LED's
Headlight Switch Sidelight = LED DRL's + Rear Taillights
Indicator Active = Dimmed LED's on the side of the active indicator
Edit - Or follow Geoff's link :happy2:

Nice, did that require coding ?, if so what was required ?

^^^^ Nope not difference of the torque handling, it's the electronics and control system side of the box that has changed, hence the reason no DSG remaps are available it as yet.
what about the clutch on the mk6. is it the same as the mk5,
@ chungster, APR claimed 380Hp for the k04 conversion on the tsi, and they are normally quite reserved.
The APR kit was GT28 based that got 380, their K04 code is somewhere around 350bhp.
I believe the clutch is the same on the Mk6 as the Mk5.
Different Steve

Time to bring this chapter to a close, the process of going back to standard started today and should be completed before the week is out, not much to offer the rest of you Mk5 owners before the vultures start :signLOL:

Not sure on a replacement yet but I am sure it will be from the VAG stable :innocent:

I'm thinking with your commute you maybe thinking of something more economical, TDI is my guess!
-
Czech Dream Machine = Win for the true petrol heads :evilgrin:
-
Maybe a bluemotion? That'd be very economical.
-
.
I think it'll be more performance orientated than a diesel. Afterall, Steve already has the Tiguan as a family motor and his own ride is usually much more sporting. TT-RS? You don't need more than 2 seats if you have the big Tiguan.
-
There's a thought. Maybe he'll buy a diesel for his commutes and another car for hooning around in.
-
Follow in my footsteps Steve? :wink: A 380bhp (when mapped), blown, 3.0L, 6 pot, that achieves 40mpg on a run.. :notworthy: :jumpmove:
My serious guess would follow Robin's suggestions and would end in S, start in T and have a TR in the middle.. :party: I actually drove one on Friday for the first time (same colour as Tom's) and didn't want to get out of it :sad1:. Awesome motor, awesome sound :drool: and would only be made better for my tastes by adding the S-Tronic (this was a manual)..
Heaven forbid how quick a mapped, S-Tronic one would be like.. :surprised: :laugh:

2.0TDI 140 Sport DSG, with virtually no extras but very low miles ready for me to stick 40k on it in the next 12 months :rolleye:
While I will miss the Mk6 I won't miss my fuel bills, on the way to the garage today the Mk6 got 31.2MPG on a mixed run, the same journey back in the Jetta was 49.8MPG, estimate it will save me at least £300 a month :pomppomp:
First mod already completed, the install of an RNS-510 LED :smiley:
New project car should be sorted by the end of May :party: :party:

Very nice buddy. What is your project car? :smiley:

Aha! So this is why you were after a MK5 jetta/golf front and rns-510, right?
Are you going to fit a reversing camera?
Any pics of the interior?
I expect the second vehicle to be a little less, er, frugal with fuel! :grin: :driver:

Look foward to seeing what your gonna purchase as the weekend car steve, If its Vw as you say it will be, im sure it will be another TFSI/TSi or maybe 2 extra coilpacks as standard of some sort :happy2:
