As standard theyre specced better than a Mk5 so options wise i only really wanted Xenons. Obviously decent mileage, mint condition, FSH etc!
Came across this Candy White one and had bought it within a few days.
Its a 2010 with just 31000 miles, Full VW Service History and 1 Previous owner.
It has optional Xenons, touch screen media 3 and also full heated leather interior.
Came with some aftermarket extras recently fitted including full BCS turbo back system, Revo intake, KW Coilovers, WALK kit, genuine LED tailights, Genuine LED number plate lights, Anthracite Monzas, black wrapped roof, black painted mirrors and gloss black badges.
Here it is when i bought it;

Thats as far as its got so far... Will update as anything changes or i take pics. I havent even really used it yet. Its my Sunday car that i'll be keeping good, and dry if possible. :)
Im hunting high and low for 19" CKs as thats what i really want for it, but im struggling.
Other than that i will just use and enjoy it, if i keep it until next year i will go stage 3- K04, intercooler and uprated clutch. Then itll be the power i was after and in a nicer car!

How do you find the BCS? Is it the powervalve version?
Also the Revo intake? Do you like it? :happy2:
Post by: Gmaster on July 23, 2015, 01:16:25 pm
I was looking at mk6's but decided to spend a bit less money on a mk5.
Post by: Gaz on July 23, 2015, 02:15:40 pm
BCS isnt powervalve, its nice and subtle when driving normally and then has a pretty serious bark when you give it some.
Revo intake seems ok, cant hear much noise off it because of exhaust noise when wide open!

Dont get me wrong, i love a cool Mk5 but if you put one alongside a Mk6 they do look dated now.
Hopefully use it at some point this weekend!

After months and months of looking for a good Edition 30 with low miles, all the spec etc i wanted, i started looking at Mk6 GTis realising that for not much more money i could get a much more modern, nicer car.
As standard theyre specced better than a Mk5 so options wise i only really wanted Xenons. Obviously decent mileage, mint condition, FSH etc!
Came across this Candy White one and had bought it within a few days.

After a K04 to have modified to fit TSI, and then i'll need to buy a Helix organic clutch.
Hopefully off VrsAlex if he does a good price.
Might take it for mapping at R-Tech or the like once done but thats a trek for me!

I do mate, 18x8 though - teenier but I really think they look well on the 8P3 A3 like mine.

Thanks Michael, appreciate it. I thought R-Tech was the VAG place for custom maps? Where would you recommend then?
Nice one Pete, ive always loved CKs so im adamant its going to get a set. 19s just look awesome. There was an 18" set just on Ebay but i resisted as i want 19s. It would look good Anthracite but also thought Silver would look really clean..

See what you think :happy2: https://instagram.com/rdfcpete/
Mine are in Audi Titanium grey (the OEM Black Edition colour) with a gloss lacquer (I wanted a matte lacquer but that's another story... :grin: ). They probably wouldn't look that great without a drop but, hey. You did the right thing, 19"s will certainly work for you :congrats:

New revised tensioner purchased from VW, which now cant fail like the old ratchet style ones could and did!
Went about fitting it tonight.
Old vs New Style;

Now stuck until i get new lower chain cover ordered from VW as it needed some prying off so not happy putting that back on.

So it all got built back up with the good piece of mind i dont need to worry about tensioner failure!
Went about fitting my stage 2 Airtec intercooler as first step in the next tuning phase!

Will need to get the compressor housing modified to fit TSI engine next week.
Ive ordered a Forge boost pipe kit to get rid of the pancake pipes, and a Unitronic diverter valve relocation kit from the US.
I'll need to get them fitted, then an uprated clutch. Then itll be time to fit K04 and sort out mapping!

Can't wait to see what figures you make, I've got a feeling you're going to have more PWR/TRQ, pund for pund than a TFSI with K04... time will tell :happy2: :smiley: :popcornsoda:
Post by: Gaz on August 15, 2015, 08:43:07 pm
Yeh ill make up a simple blank plate for the pcv port.
Yeh Scotty, i cant believe that VW havent made a recall, its surely cost more with the amount of engines theyve had to replace under warranty than it would have to replace the tensioners!
Im hoping for good power as the TSI generally makes better power due to being a better flowing engine, plus ive went with a good intercooler and getting rid of the pancake pipes, and a custom map!
Kind of thought of water methanol too.. Hmmm

Been buying bits and cutting sh1t for the K04 conversion.
Bought Forge boost pipe kit to get rid of the restrictive pancake pipes and so i can fit a standard fitment silicone hose between turbo outlet and turbo outlet pipe.

Bought some other random silicone hoses so i have a selection when it comes to fitting to the turbo, and an alloy pipe to cut up to have welded to turbo outlet as silencer needs removed for fitting to the TSI.
Silencer cut off and alloy pipe cut to be welded on

This is a bit extra info

It's becoming a common problem and an expensive repair when it fails. However, a simple enough job if caught early but a real chew if the gauze breaks free giving G40 fault code and a nasty knocking at 2000rpm.

Pancake pipes look super restrictive compared to Forge pipes so im well happy i changed them, and im sure it goes a bit better now too. Hopefully help a lot when its running more boost with K04.
Changed the oil and filter again, another VW filter and some Gulf VW spec oil.

Thankfully my modified compressor outlet pipe is PERFECT! Length and angle is spot on, Thank fck. Made making up a boost pipe between turbo and Forge outlet pipe easy!

We all know that bigger is better, so i bought myself a set of Porsche Cayenne 18z 6 pots.
I could have bought a refurbed set at £550 but i got a set for £340 needing refurbed, and it doesnt cost £210 to refurb them- so i bought them and stuff to rebuild em.
As bought;

Wanted to have the Brembo stickers fitted properly and before lacquering, so went down to Fife Powder Coating after they were coated red to fit stickers, before powder lacquering.

Went about test fitting them with the specific bolt kit off Ebay (still standard discs) to see what spacers id need;

3mm spacers all it needs, giving the recommended 2mm clearance!

So, 3mm hubcentric spacers ordered and some Mk4 R32 front braided hoses which are a direct fit into caliper.
Will order some discs and pads at the start of the week and hopefully have the setup fitted by next weekend.
I swear this needs to be the last money i spend on it!!!

Unfortunately the Merc discs are 1mm thinner on the face making the wheel too near the caliper, so Ive had to order 5mm Stance+ spacers to compensate, so no wheels on pictures yet!

Ended up behind my cousin in his Lamborghini Hurracan, had a little bit of sport but from low speed so in second gear i just have masses of wheelspin, its a 3rd gear onwards car so i was frustrated! The Hurracan is 4wd and 610bhp so is a proper super car! Wish i had the chance to give him a bit of a shock! :)

See, I'm an Impreza fan myself, but I certainly wouldn't turn down an Evo VI TM Edition! Kind of feel that once I finish off the V5 and shift the R32, I may well break my 8 year VW Golf spell and get into JDM a little bit.
The Golf R will stay of course... :)

Have you thought about trying Millers Oils Nanodrive?

I use the Shell Helix Ultra ECT because it has the specific VW 504 approval. I bought enough to do another change too, aswell as 2x 1L bottles for top-ups because the Forge catch can system slowly fills with oil and therefore i need to top the engine oil back up every so often!
The Shell Helix Ultra costs £43.50 for 5L here.

Seemed to see a few Mk6 about too, up the North of Scotland. Including a guy driving his nice GTD with some spirit, much to my entertainment!
Thought Id take some proper pictures of it since i dont actually have any proper pictures!

Was getting annoyed with water off the car after a wash not drying out in the garage now its a bit colder. Hate dampness! Now the heater comes on when it gets cooler, help keep it dry and warm!
It got a wee wash too.
