Detonating is a strange way to describe it. Nothing explodes when it fails, it just gets a hole worn in it. And merely tuning it didn’t add any stress to the pump. It was the APR HPFP that added extra stress to the follower. But that’s all been solved now with the roller-followers.

Shit happens right?
This is a perfect example of an irrational fear of the unknown. The cam follower is easily checked for wear in about 15 mins. checking it every 15k miles is no big deal to someone who loves to work on their own vehicle.
You think that’s great? Check out the gains they’re getting on the RS7!
They’re good, but not without their quirks. If you’re looking to get into something to mod reliably, APR is really great about not pushing the limits with their tunes. I would also thoroughly research any vehicle to learn about their faults, how often they occur, their difficulty and price to repair, and general PM…
Fear of the unknown keeps a lot of people from fully enjoying life.
The KO3 motors (all stock GTIs, such as the one I owned) do boost sooner because of the smaller turbo. The KO4 motors (like in the R) take a few hundred more revs to spool, but don’t run out of breath as you get close to 6500. It is, however, quite easy to bolt a KO4 on your GTI.
A couple years ago I had a 2008 GLI, basically a Jetta GTI. I had an APR tune installed and I couldn’t believe the power. Just everywhere and incredible. Traction all the way to 3rd was an issue, but surprisingly, torque steer wasn’t.
No it’s not. In fact, it’s been around for a while.
“To add to the many aforementioned goals, there is, of course, that goal of eliminating all deaths or serious injuries to people driving Volvo cars.”
Robert Rodriguez came to my mind as well.
Death PROOF? They better start redesigning these then...
Now playing
Just hit play and stare.
Sounds like you could use one of these!
When someone wants to ride a bicycle and they have back issues, they usually get a recumbent bike, not a unicycle!
Yes, I am most definitely missing your point.
If one were to be disabled to where it inhibited walking, a segway would probably not be the best mobility solution due to it’s dangerous instability.
Yea, for some reason the first video started was titled segway fails but ended up being hoverboard fails. The segway fails are way funnier if you ask me. To answer your question, until personal jetpacks become economical, a car is the easiest, and pretty much the only “point a to b to c then back to point a in a…
That guy’s idea sure leans toward redundancy!
