Yay! Welcome back to the 4Motion club.

I'll have to keep on reminding myself to hold off on the launch control.

Thanks bud.. But when you pull up to XR6 turbo or something similar it is hard to resist

Actually I tried launch control with front wheel drive only once and it was really embarrassing with both wheels spinning and not going anywhere with tire burning smoke and smell lol. Can understand the misery of GTI guys

But that would be for next Xmas

I think broken unit can repair in a good workshop. If this one broke in same manner I will try to repair it bit tougher

Only K04????

I thought if you were going to all that bother of swapping out turbos that you'd put something a little bigger on and do it properly

I can not afford that kind of money for big turbo upgrade and those DSG redline increase calibrations and mapping require d for creating that power will not be cheap

K04 is for me and word on the street is APR doing a hardware sale soon

Will be good to see the damage when you strip down the rest of the unit. I have done a bunch of launches in mine & so far - so good & that's with 275 rubber all round.

Curious to know if its broken a shaft or stripped a spline or gear.

I will try to strip it down more and post the result.
May be APR got too much luck these days

Shame to see this happened mate, but also good news that you got it sorted. Looks like a bastard of a thing to access (as with pretty much everything on these 4MOTION cars).

Yes it was a bad experience.. If this did not happened I am halfway toward to my turbo upgrade

Now I am atleast 6 months behind the schedule. Lol

Transfer case was bitch to take out from the car.. Actually had to unbolt lower engine mount and push the engine forward to drop it to the floor. Putting new one back is another big story

Anyway I learned a lot about the car during the process..

After getting my 4 Motion back, I thought why not give it a upgrade and have some fun. So a performance haldex unit arrived from HPA motor sports Canada. I did not bother getting switching cable or remote because unit by default is in race mode and I intend to run it like that.

Looks well packed. Sorry for my ignorance but what's it meant to do?
