Find Of The Day: KO4-You GTI

Looking for the perfect MKVI GTI? Have we found a deal for you. This 2012 GTI is essentially perfect and has two incredible features: A KO4 turbocharger, and a low asking price.

Before we get into the details of this Platinum Grey GTI, let’s start with the price. The seller is asking only $12,500. Now you may think that’s a bit high, but a quick cars.com search shows 2012 models going from a low of $7700 to a high of nearly $17,000. And what you’ll find there doesn’t come close to this particular GTI.

So what does $12,500 get you? We already mentioned the KO4 turbo upgrade. There’s also GIAC KO4 and DSG software updates, AWE KO4 kit and intake, a Wavetrak front differential, an Audi S3 intercooler, and a Snow Performance meth system. That’s a ton of performance for that low asking price.

The upgrades don’t stop there. The GTI rides on BCS Race coilovers, a BCS turbo-back three-inch exhaust, Golf R taillights, a Maxton front chin spoiler, and much more. Inside is the plaid interior in mint conditions, some audio upgrades, and full LED lights.

All major service has been done, including the DSG service, new timing chain and guides, new coil packs and plugs, and a few other things. The car also comes with most of the original parts. It should be noted the car does not come with the pictured wheels; the OEM Hufweisen wheels will be back on the car.

Take a look at the ad in our classifieds. Or check out the craigslist ad. There’s also a thread on Audizine.com with more photos and information. This 2012 GTI DSG is in Modesto, California.

Waterfest Moves to Atco Dragway

Waterfest 24 will be held at Atco Dragway, in Atco, New Jersey. The summer event will take place at its new venue on July 21 and 22. Long held in Englishtown, New Jersey, the festival has been such a large part of the VW scene that the latest iteration of the Golf even comes with optional “Englishtown” wheels . The new venue, however, is an NHRA drag track a scant 52 miles southwest of Englishtown. The ¼ mile drag track opened in 1960, which makes it the oldest drag strip in New Jersey. The announcement came today on a social media post that announced the new location. Waterfest is North America’s largest VW/Audi show. As many 20,000 people show up for the annual show, making the second largest show in the world—with Worthersee being number one. 2018 will be Waterfest’s 24 th year in existence.

Macau Gets Messy with 16-Car Pileup

The Macau Grand Prix is always good for an accident or two or 16— you may remember Audi’s race ending crash last year —and this year’s event didn’t disappoint. It didn’t take long for things to get messy on the tight road circuit. On the opening lap of the qualifying race a 16-car pileup caused the race to be suspended. Things kicked off when Daniel Juncadella hit a wall on the exit of Police bend, one of the tightest parts of the already tight circuit. The following car of Raffaele Marciello was able to avoid the carnage, but Laurens Vanthoor, who was in the upside-down Audi that ended the race last year, could not avoid Juncadella and together they blocked up the road pretty much completely. “I couldn’t see him [Juncadella] at first. Then I saw the car standing still,” Vanthoor told Motorsport. “I tried to brake but it was just understeering and I couldn’t do anything. There’s room for one car there and you’re blind.” Fourteen more cars would eventually crash into the corner c

The First of its Kind: Integrated Engineering Releases Highly-Anticipated IE450T MK6 Golf R Turbo Kit

After two long years of development, the team at Integrated Engineering has finally announced the release of their IE450T kit for the MK6 Golf R. With their turbo kit bolted on right out of the box, the sport AWD hatch is transformed into a 450bhp monster, with hardly any noticeable increase in spool time. In fact, 435 ft-lbs of torque are achieved at all four wheels, at a mere 3300rpm! By now you are probably asking yourself how this is even possible on a 2.0L engine that made nearly half that power from the factory. By employing true twin-scroll technology into the cast turbo manifold and pairing it with a state-of-the-art BorgWarner EFR turbocharger, IE was able to keep spool time at a minimum and bring the fastest-spooling big turbo setup to the market. “We wanted to offer a kit that would dramatically increase the power output without making the car lose its amazing street-friendly drivability,” mentioned one of the IE engineers. We are told the IE450T leaves the car driving jus
