Re: 2005 Jetta GLI 1.8t

My VR got between 400-600km to a tank. Although I think the Unitronic chip improved fuel economy a bit, I'd never get more than 450 before.

How big are MK4 fuel tanks? 55 liters?

Woah 600!? I think I usually average 500 on the highway. In the summer once I start having to drive for work and not doing my stupid commute to school now, I will see what I actually get for city mileage.

Re: 2005 Jetta GLI 1.8t

Have fun with the high flow manifold. Which one is it? Kinetic? Mine cracked all the way from the turbo to the cylinder head and the one bolt is completely inaccessible i had to buy a 13mm snap on flex socket to get at it and even with that it was almost impossible.

front mount



i may or may not custom fit the grills

[Stonewall]

Re: 2005 Jetta GLI 1.8t

If you fit the grills not only will it look more stealth but you will keep rocks from denting the fins.

[BaggedGLI]

Re: 2005 Jetta GLI 1.8t

Fit the grilles and put mesh on the back of them, then it catches the bugs and rocks so none hit.

Re: 2005 Jetta GLI 1.8t

Fit the grills to keep the clean look going

Re: 2005 Jetta GLI 1.8t

so i ripped out the FK coilovers today. Greeeaaatttt kit....*thumbs down* ALL of them are blown









and replaced them with a solowerks coilover kit



found out solowerks are a re-valved stock VW shock to go more low. and honestly......MOST COMFORTABLE ride ive ever felt. i was amazed. my bro who has a b5 s4 has ST coilovers on his and says that my cars ride is a lot better and way smoother then his. im really impressed with these
