HKS SMF: No oil needed, no maf problem what so ever. Loss of power=1-5 hp.. Do I care, not really... Does the turbo sound sweeter=you bet your ass=lots more fun to drive and listen too. Worth it...totally.
We've got a FWD model Passat, and we use Nokian Hakkapeliitas in the winter We went out on closed (snowed out) roads in southern Oregon We were passing snow plows and SUVs left and right Not even a bit of wheelspin, it was just like being on dry ground, only quieter 4motion is probably worth it in the northeast
I waited 9,000 miles to change my oil most recently (with 36,000 total on my VR6 Jetta). The oil is Valvoline 5w-40 synthetic, which I buy from my local NAPA who now stocks it - finally. Bottom line - oil was still in very good condition - still suitable for further use - viscosity still well within 5w-40 perameters @ 14.1. Trace metals ppm were amazingly low for 9,000 miles of use.
I'm almost positive that the standard Mk4 Bilstein sports will work fine... They are perfect for the drop you get with H&R springs so it seems they be a perfect swap out with the 337's 1" inch drop.
NGK a little bit pricey but well worth it.
i just installed the factory NGK's... love'em , a little pricey though
My OE tyres lasted around 60,000km and have now fitted a new set of Pirelli P7s all round.
I just went through the entire process of fitting 15X7 wheels on my '84 GTI. Many people on Vortex had concerns that this combination would be too tight of a fit with 205/50/15 tires (especially the Falken Azenis tires - as they are supposed to be wider at the shoulder than most). I have not had rubbing problems at the shock/ spring support or the wheel wells (except a little when hitting big ol' bumps... where the outside of the tire will slightly rub the fender - nothing to be too alarmed about... just don't hit em')
I switched over to Zimmerman x-drilled, SS lines, Mintex Red Boxes and bled the system with DOT 4 fluid. The same corse I never noticed any fade but I also did not notice any BETTER braking performance either.
They chewed up my stock front rotors. But they needed to be changed anyway.
