Scirocco R Invasion Down Under

[Rev 555]

Any updates on this? Could you take a photo directly from the back to see the camber? Also a close up from the back of how close the tyre is to the arch? Trying to work out tyre size and camber for mine. Did you need a camber kit?

This is the best photo I have at the moment. No camber kit required.



As for updates - I have just put in a new Hybrid K04 turbo with a Stage 4 ECU and DSG tune.....

I cant stop smiling. I will put it on the dyno next week but I should get around 250kw (335HP) at the wheels now.

I am sure there will be an agent in the UK. Shoot ADV an email they are normally quite quick to respond.

Just q quick update to the latest modification on the car. In December I upgraded the turbo to a hybrid K04 turbo consisting of the following components;

Stage 4 Performance Kit
- Hybrid K04 turbocharger (larger compressor wheels)
- downpipe with 200 cell sports catalytic converter,
- TTRS high-pressure pump, (for fuel tank)
- cold air intake system,
- upgraded fuel pump
- software adjustments Stage 4 engine + DSG tuning
- Colder spark plugs

The resulting effect can be seen below with power at the wheels around the 250kw mark and 460Nm of Torque. I aiming to have a 400hp car...with day to day driveability.

Thats a beautiful R inside out! Great work kev. Any issues with 265 rubbers? I'm running 245 on my roc and it rubs slightly..

No I don't rub at all...what offset rims do you have? Are you running camber?

I have just fitted this cool gauge that measures boost, 0 -100 acceleration times, RPM, Oil and Engine temps all integrated in the car's air vent.

Hi there,

First of all you absolutely have a nice R, read your whole build thread and its really amazing. Ordered my R 2 weeks ago here in Belgium and already planning some mods.

I know you get this question very often but i want to make sure my wheels will fit! You got 19x9.5 ET35 allround. I'm planning to buy the VMR V710 wheels 19x9.5 ET33, so they will be 2mm further outside then yours. Also planning a lowering with KW coilovers variant 1 or 2 without DCC. The dealer of these wheels in Belgium says they won't fit my car. So I am a little bit scared about that. Do you think they will fit, or do you now someone with these wheels (19x9.5 ET33) on there car? I'm not planning any other suspension upgrades beside the coilovers. I will maybe go for 255 rubber instead of 265.

I have to order the wheels before monday to get them within 6 weeks, otherwise i have to wait another 6 months!
Thank you in advance for the reply.


Grtz, Timo
