I got told a story just yesterday from a friend wife tried taking the car in for suddenly losing power. Caused by the dsg. They refused warranty saying the car had modified. All that the car had added from new was a baby seat. They took it to everyone they could without going to vcat.. Apparently got fixed but now they're chasing the bill. $8k for a replacement

+1 to there being more to this story.

There's always two sides. But I've seen the car and its definitely not modded, and they've had it since new so..

Reading the news article it seems like vw are doing any/everything to cover their asses. Which kind of make me believe my mate even more

But this is the news, which is almost always tainted

Parents Tiguan had oil leak, b4 even checking what was wrong they dropped a new DSG in it.

then found out it was a leaking head gasket.

SO seems that yeah they having much trouble with them so assume everything is caused by it.

guy in my team at work has a 180sx type x that's painted pearalescent purple with work meister TE35's, big turbo, huge intercooler and a forged SRDET20

it got dyno'd and made 285kw

BRO!

why anybody in this country would spend money on a golf when you can get a commodore for 1/4 of the price that will outperform it everywhere and rip skids is beyond me...

there is only one explanation,, top bloke hipsters....

    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
