Anyone here running any sort of master cylinder brace? My next purchase is gonna include a RS3 master cylinder for my BBK and figured if people had good luck with braces i'd pick one up and install with the new MC.
I'm waiting for install to decide if I really want one. I'm sure that I'm going to decide I want one, but I'll be changing pads, rotors, full fluid flush, and adding stainless lines and Tyrolsport's caliper stiffeners. Wanna see how all that feels before I decide I need the brace. Trying to be somewhat clinical about this...
I never got a P/N for it, it was a bit of a gamble to order because there was a nonzero chance it'd be a 23mm MC (base TT is same size as GTI). When I got it in, I was relieved to see a 25 stamped on the cylinder.
The wrecking yard did give me a VIN, though. Working backwards from that VIN, that confirmed that I did indeed order a MC off a Mk2 TT-S -- 2009, to be exact. Plugged that into Audi parts, and I'm getting 8J1611021EREP for a P/N.
I didn't ultimately keep it -- I bundled it with my TT-RS calipers when I flipped them. Since I went back to my R32 brakes plan, I figured the 23mm + a Tyrol MC brace would be enough, since both the Mk5 R32 and Mk6R came with 23mm MCs.

Hi Folks anyone know what might be the issue here? I just replaced radiator, air condensor, intercooler. topped up coolant and turn on the ignition for the first time after the car had accident. the engine light is on and cant rev past 4k. ESP light was on before the ignition but went away after. the engine had weird/concerning sound seems like it was not getting enough power and shaking. but that went away too afterwards. the video can be found in the link below

Have you scanned your CEL with a Vagcom or something like it? Could be boost leak or a failing intake manifold. . But video doesn't do much without knowing what codes you're throwing.

Obd will give you generic readings. VAGCOM will allow you more in depth diagnostic.
You did do a ton of disconnections on your front end. It would be worth looking at everything past the turbo to see if something is not seated correctly.
