15mm front spacers and 20mm rear spacers. It should flush it up
Nice! I love the mk7!
Thanks!
Interesting switch.
Let us know how you feel after you have it for a few days. I’d imagine there is a big difference between the stage 3 A4 and the new stock GTI. Seems the GTI is able to take advantage of not being AWD and getting some very impressive results with simple mods
Grats on the new ride Jake! They are very fun to drive. My brother had a MT mk6 gti until someone moron rear ended him and totaled it 
He’s considering a mk7 replacement or the mk6 R.
Like justin said, let us know your thoughts after some seat time
Thanks!
So after only 200 miles of seat time, here are my current thoughts.
Comfort - Hands down much better. This is a modern cars so that is an obvious. The B7 interior was designed in 2002 for the B6 so it was pretty dated. The new gadgets, blue tooth, built in boost, coolant temp, oil temp, Gs, and KWs gauges are pretty sweet. Back up camera etc… all sorts of tech the B7 A4 didn’t have (not to mention the RNS-E int he B7 was a pain).
Performance- Still doing the engine break in, but I have gone WOT a few times and it feels like a tune+exhaust b7 A4. Not bad for stock. What I am most excited about is stage 2 guys are already in the 11s with just a software, downpipe, intake, and intercooler. (slicks/radials of course) and trapping 112-114mph. IS38 upgrade guys (basically the k04 for the MQB) are trapping 117 etc… No extra fueling modifications needed.
Handling- I was really nervous about going FWD, but so far I am very impressed. no torque steer and this thing is VERY nimble. It inspires much more confidence when driving aggressively as compared to the B7.
So far my only annoyance is the fuel gauge. it’s literally twice as big a the B7 gauge (almost makes a full circle empty to full). So you go down 1/8th of a tank and it looks like you have sucked down a 1/4 tank lol. I will get used to it, but it doesn’t feel good watching that needle move so fast. Brings me back to my Camaro days.
Y’all should put together a FMIC kit off your car… can test Mk6 fitment on my car
Thanks for the update jake it will be interesting to see how your feelings for the car evolve.
There is a neat idea.
If I remember correctly, the MK7 and MK6 intercooler designs are different so they wouldn’t work
However, we have a MK6 GTI and TDI here owned by employees!
So far the fuel mileage vs fuel capacity is strange.
I had gone about 235 miles and it was already time to fill it back up (gas gauge was touching the red, so 1/8th tank left). I was confused on how I got such low mileage when this thing is supposed to be super efficient. So I fill it back up and i was only able to put in 9.7 gallons ??? The gas tank is supposed to be 13.2 gallon so I would have gues 11-12 gallons on fill up. I averaged it out and it was about 24mpg, roughly 80 miles where highway so i figured I should have gotten slightly better fuel mileage than that.
I will note that I haven’t beat on it yet since the car only has 240 miles on it.
scammed. Should have put a deposit on a vapourware model 3 and had ‘free’ fillups at westwest’s house.
LOL
This was in Car and Driver’s review of the car:
‘Also, we found ourselves stopping often for gas, not due to poor fuel economy (at 27 mpg observed in our hands, it was actually pretty good) but because the overly cautious range calculator starts ringing alarm bells even when less than 10 gallons or so have been drained from the 13.2-gallon tank…’
wonder if you can vagcom that to chill the fuck out
nice find Joe.
Reading on Vortex, when the gas pump click off because it is “full” people can manually keep going and squeeze another gallon in there.
Kind of like the issue the B6-B7 tanks get
On my MK6, if I fill up when the DTE is at zero(needle buried in the red) I can only get 12 gallons in. My tank size is 14.5 gallons. Usually I fill up right when the gas light comes on which usually translates to 10.5 gallons in. Must be a VW thing. If I am not mistaken, the manual says that there is 2 gallons of the 14.5 that is classified as “reserve”. Who needs ~55 miles of reserve after the DTE hits zero miles??
Maybe there are a lot of tards out there driving GTIs who don’t know how to fill up their gas tank regularly :-\
added tint and wheel spacers
Looks good. I wish fuel tanks were much bigger on this. Mpg is great but if tank isn’t big your range isn’t as sweet
on the highway some people have hypermiled 40mpg! Small tank is indeed lame, but I don’t go far too often
