Scirocco r mods

[shimee]

Well its a strange thing - some comment that it's really loud, others say it's nice and quiet. I guess its all subjective at the end of the day. Don't get me wrong, there is def an increase in noise but its nothing too crazy and I'm happy about that. It's def filled out the gap between the engine noise and the exhaust note, so I'm really happy.
After a decent drive tonight after the traffic died down I can definitely notice the improved responsiveness. It's a worthwhile addition no doubt!!

Oh and yeah engine cover is off - think it will stay off as I don't want to mod it to fit.

Springs next and then its all over...until the next thing.

Glad you're enjoying it too man.

I have no idea what you mean, My induction noise trippled... that is not an exaggeration. My neighbour event commented on it before I had chance to tell him I had my intake upgraded..... Where did you get it installed? Did they remove the engine cover aswell? (I think this is pretty standard anyway to fit the intake)

Good to hear you are happy with it, Last thing you want is to spend almost $900 on a MOD and not get any benefit out of it. Can you hear your blow off valve when releasing compression? (changing gears), I could never hear this before I had the intake, now it is very evident.

I have been told fuel pump is the next best thing to do, for big increases.. then downpipe.

Hey toy86 nice work on the car i also want the apr stage 1 it would be awesome if we could meet up .. Then I could see the difference

I really need to listen hard for any BOV type sounds. Im not mechanically knowledgeable but if it is very audible on yours and not on mine then I'd suggest the TBE would be the point of difference? Perhaps not - would be good if someone can explain

In any case, the amount of noise is pretty much just right. I am very happy with the sound of the car now - as someone mentioned on a forum here or elsewhere the APR TBE is the Jekyll and Hyde of exhausts - perfect description lol

Hmmm hadn't considered fuel pump...but no, I'm done modding

Sorry to jump the queue for another query, on suspension mod with H&R lowering springs, what front axle weight is on the Australia spec Scirocco Rs? I would need this info to order the correct set from the following:

H&R 30-35 mm Spring Kit Scirocco 08/08>Typ 13, bis/up to 1020 kg VA-Last/FA-weight, inkl. DCC
H&R 30-35 mm Spring Kit Scirocco inkl. R 08/08>Typ 13, ab/from 1021kg VA-Last/FA-weight, inkl. DCC

Presumably it is second one but not 100% sure, please advice? I would very much appreciate your help on this.

I can't find the weight info recorded in my car - the black sticker that supposes to have this info doesn't print those details other than:

VOLKSWAGEN AG
[VIN]
kg
kg
1- kg
2- kg
Typ

hmmmm...Thought the weight info can become important at some times.

I'd assume the first one is for the non-R (TSI, TDI) Scirocco (not sold in Australia).

[Rocco_R]

That is also what I thought Adam - just want to double check with the folks with the springs installed on their Rocs to make sure before ordering. Cheers!

Are you ordering locally or from offshore? I am looking at these 35mm H&R springs too. They seem very popular on the UK/Europe Scirocco forum.

[Rocco_R]

Probably offshore mate. Yeah, I think those are probably one of the most popular ones out there and it doesn't make the Roc too low either - you should see some pics posted by other members.

I got the 2nd one from orange tuning last month.
