Thank you Tony. The roofliner is also completed, and some of the speakers arrived. Pictures will follow later this evening

Roofliner is ready.

Speakers have arrived. I must say, the level of details on the speakers just blows my mind. Honestly, they are really a work of art.

Some pictures made with the crappy phone.

Later i will receive some professional pictures



Imagine the dashboard dressed with this Alcantara, and blue stitching. Oh boy, can't wait !!!

Thank you very much. I will try to pass 650+ HP in a few months. Of course i could pass 800+ HP with a bigger turbo, but then i would not be able to drive the car in town. Now it's so nice to drive it. Although some will say it's not a good daily drive, i disagree.

Some weight numbers:



Rear Recaro + bracket = 14kg. So 28kg weight on rear



Rear bench had 33kg.



So a weight loss of 5kg. Better than nothing.

Hi TEFF, very nice job in your car. I have in my TT the same turbo like you but with Unitronic Stage 3 and a DSG 500 WHP SSP Perfomance clutch packages with Revo DSG custom file like stage 3. What clutches and DSG software stage are you running and do you have any problems with SSP clutches?, because I had slip problems and burned them and I don't know if the Kevlar clutches are the solution for me, what do you think?

Hello StreeterTT.
Initially i had the SSP 600HP clutches, but they were slipping like hell, and they couldn't be remapped.
So i've decided to send the whole gearbox to Germany to HGP Turbo and they installed their best clutch pack (800Nm) and a custom Stage 4 file.I did the 2000km running in, but since the HGP upgrade, no slip at all. Not even when i hreceived the gearbox from them and they said it's possible to have some slippage first. Nothing!

I recommend sending your DSG to HPA Motorsport in Canada, and they will help you. HPA has the same products like HGP, only that they are for US Continent, and HGP for Europe.

Hope this helps

Thanks TEFF for your answers, you help me so much to don't spend my money in SSP 600HP Kevlar clutches that they are insufficient at this level of power, I know HPA Motorsport thier poducts are expensive but with excellent quality and as you said it's the only solution to don't have any slip in the DSG gearbox. I'll contact them soon.
