Superchips Bluefin Stage 1 ECU upgrade for the Golf R

Yes the engine cover is a mission isn't it. To get the rear rubber mounts back in, insert them into the engine cover (all 4 of them - use a flat blade screwdriver to help insert them) and then they will just pop back onto the mounts when you fit the engine cover back on. A little bit of Vasoline or grease will help then slide back on).

No haven't got my downpipe/cat yet......still saving.

I received the VWR air filter today and installed it. Engine cover is annoying, can't get the rear clips back on!

Anyway I installed the Stage 2 Bluefin and went for a little drive, still haven't done the Hitech DP & Cat, but the car is pulling a little better than
stage 1. The Hitech DP & cat will cost $890 once installed I'll let you know how it is. Have you done yours yet?

After much hassle ended up getting the engine cover back on, but I think I screwed something up when I was doing it. Im getting a ticking sound coming out of the engine bay whenever I take off or change direction quickly, feels like something is loose or flexing thus making the sound. I also started noticing that when the car is in Park and I take my foot of the brake I get a loud click that seems to be coming out of the gear lever. Not sure if they had something to do with installing the air filter but seems to have started after doing it.

Not sure what advice to offer you there mate. Did you maybe drop a tool or a bolt/screw etc into te engine bay while you had the engine cover off? If it was me I'd be taking the engine cover back off and having a good look around the engine bay to see I you can see what is causing the noise.
