What did you get in the mail or bring home for your MKVII today?

eBay Twintercooler. Will go on this weekend. Tired of 120 - 130 degree IAT's.

Hope your car is not a Mk7.5. If so, you'll need to mod the brackets.

Nope. 2016 SE. Should fit perfectly fine without modification.

Here's a thread with almost 500 posts on it.

This is the exact one I bought. You can get it a bit cheaper shipped from China, but patience isn't one of my virtues. I didn't want to take the chance it with everything going on. The ones from China said it wouldn't arrive till August. This shipped from in the US, and arrived in 2 days.

General consensus is it's better than nothing, but nowhere near as good as a stock location replacement. But leagues easier to install. Probably would have just gotten the ECS FMIC, but it is out of stock until September.

Can't imagine it performing any worse than the ECS piece. The ECS one probably fits better.

Got some new shiny boys straight from Latvia. NVH free camber gains!

I'm finding the build dates on these super curious, they(VW AG) keep re-stocking them, for what is a limited-run vehicle. Generally they would VIN lock them to prevent built up stock being bought up by enthusiasts, so the fact that they keep manufacturing them... its definitely unusual.

FWIW I think its the actual hub carrier hole that's machined slightly differently, with everything else being the same.

Might be because it's just a machining change. They can run them with the same castings, same fixtures, same machining centers, just a gcode tweak. Makes production easy, way lower cost than keeping bumpers, spoilers, etc. in stock.

How could it just be the carrier hole when the hub bolts to the face of flat section of the spindle. I don’t see how clocking the angle of the hole can adjust camber, maybe it’s the hole at an angle and milling the mounting face at an angle

I wanted to get the MST TIP, but they've been out of stock for a while, so I ended up picking the CTS one.

Picked up the weight for the rear subframe to dampen the log rolling sound talked about in a thread here. Going to see how much of a difference it is. I actually thought it was going to be much bigger. I will be amazed if this actually works. I know guys say it does.

Curious about this, I was going to order it as well

I purchased that same one and am happy with it. The fitment was great. I had no issues.

Came home today to a nicely packaged Littco L450. Fed Ex actually called me and asked what was in the box before they cleared it for delivery from the Hub. Strange but I guess it was necessary due to the fact it was from over seas.

You should have told them it was a human head.

Okay, Jeffrey Dahmer.

I was thinking more like Walt Disney.
