Definitely agree to be careful buying off Ebay. Touch wood but I've had mine on for 9 months now (including driving at 80kmh+ on unsealed roads) and they still fit like new.

Hi mate, are you talking about the centre caps?
I bought these off Ebay for my Tig and they look just like the OEM part:
65mm VW VOLKSWAGEN WHEEL RIMS 5 x 112 CENTRE CAPS PASSAT TIGUAN GOLF...
Do it, you won't regret it :D

I bought my Tig for the same reason as you except I had no idea what was sitting under the bonnet when I first got it.
Once I realized I had the A888 package I went down the tuning rabbit hole...
Last purchase for the year (for real this time lol)
Received my Go fast bits DV+

This recording is from my gator dash cam, I avoided doing a recording on my phone for that very same reason (plus it jiggles around a lot when it's on the air vent bracket).
That being said, you...
Thank you! Very exciting times. Ah you just reminded me to buy a DV+ unit, it will be my last DIY project over the break so the whooshing noise should improve ;)
I drive this thing every day and I...
No more sales lol! My next upgrade will most likely be a DSG tune, missus just went on maternity leave so might have to put a bit away...
I uploaded some footage from my dashcam so you can get a...
Look at that intercooler and the slotted rotors! Awesome!
Yeah for sure! I'll do one up for you this weekend.
No I actually bought the DP from a company by the name of CTS tuning, the workshop simply did the installation. Still, to your point the CTS...
I wish! K04 is out of my price range, I've spent enough on the Tig.... for now. Very lucky you can do the work yourself, the price goes through the roof when going via a workshop which is fair...
Hahaha well spotted! I found out the hard way when I took her for a drive shortly after taking that photo, had a lovely squealing noise on boost and had to get under the car again. What a muppet.

I got a quote for a custom unit and it ended up being about the same cost delivered ($1000AUD), the CTS unit is a tried and tested product and to be honest I didn't want to wait around for too long...
Has anyone considered the wastegate actuator rod rattle that affects TSI 2.0 engines? (Covered in the GTI 40th edition thread)
A K04 in that tiny package??? Can't wait to see this :driver:
Looking forward to seeing the progress on this one!
I'm legitimately shocked this is happening to new models!
My Tiguan has the same TSI engine found in GTI's and I also experienced the metallic rattle under load, sounds like there's a bunch of...
I don't mind the noise tbh but I will always be a boy racer deep down hahaha!
I've noticed the thumping comes back after driving the car on the freeway (for at least 30 mins) or after driving it...
Thanks mate, I was debating leaving the TSI badge on the right hand side but I'm glad I took it all off.
Definitely noticeable, but personally I don't find it too intrusive. It comes alive inside...
After everything the Tig has been through, I think it's fair to say she has earned her "R" badges!

Sincerest apologies for bumping such an old thread but can I ask how you went about debadging your tig?
** Edit ** never mind I got impatient and got the floss out :facepalm:
I would LOVE to do K04, look at that HPA manifold that looks awesome. How much $ are you looking at for that? Will you be doing a lot of it yourself?
I've done:
- APR stage 2
- CTS turbo 3" DP...
I think they had to bend it / bash it to make it fit, not sure if they were referring to that specific heat shield though.
Loving the progress pics keep them coming! I just finished doing a bunch of upgrades to my Tig (including DP + Stage 2 amongst other things) and it's a completely different car! Sooo much torque...
Ok cool I might have to keep an eye on it in the meantime, it's so odd that it doesn't happen in higher gears...
