Car forums are a dirty business. Or at least, they can be. In MBWorld's case, dirty hardly covers it. This is the same forum that had such extreme corruption in the past regarding EVOSPORT it led to the rise of BenzBoost.com. ...Published on 09-13-2017 11:41 AM
Where do you even begin with this mess? After the article about yet another Dime Racing Huracan horror story BoostAddict was contacted by the owner as well as multiple parties contributing further details. Suffice it to say, Dime Racing is in big trouble. ...Published on 09-13-2017 04:41 AM
This is the type of thing that elevates a tuner to another level. Tuning Volkswagens and Audi's is one thing. Offering off the shelf crate motors is something else entirely. These are the resources and reach available to APR. ...Published on 08-28-2017 05:22 PM
The research study below from LMC Automotive points to where the automotive industry is going. The direction is really not all that surprising. Engines are continuing to get smaller and the number of turbocharged engines is increasing. ...Published on 08-20-2017 02:22 PM
This network of websites never shies away from reporting what is truly going on in the aftermarket industry. It is a very dirty industry with many people ripping each other off and stabbing each other in the back for profit. That is no surprise to anyone. ...Published on 08-20-2017 12:39 PM
This is your new class of hot hatchbacks. All of them are turbocharged but there are differences among them. For one, the RS3 has the largest motor with a 2.5 liter I5 and it also has the most power. It shows. None of these other cars can hang with it. ...Published on 08-15-2017 11:43 AM
BoostAddict reported what was going on behind the scenes with Dime Racing. It seems people have not been paying attention or simply dismissed the reports. Remember when Dime Racing was taken to court by Weistec? BoostAddict posted the entire complaint with further details. ...Published on 08-03-2017 07:11 PM
You may have heard of BPM Sport and the owner Mike Benvo. For those unfamiliar, BPM is a BMW coding company. While they sell tunes Mike Benvo is not a tuner. This became glaringly obvious in a recent discussion (since deleted) where he attempted to warn people about unsafe tuning practices. ...Published on 08-02-2017 02:21 PM
This is a big shift in the German aftermarket. You all know APR from the Volkswagen and Audi tuning world. APR is now a part of Driven Performance Brands which includes Flowmaster, B&M Racing and Performance, Hurst Shifters, Hurst Driveline Conversions, and Dinan Engineering. ...Published on 07-22-2017 07:31 PM
A back and forth between Iroz Motorsport and APR is taking place on the EA888 2.0 liter MQB platform VW's. APR raised the bar with a new overall platform pass of 10.112 @ 142.76 last week in a front wheel drive MKVII Volkswagen GTI. ...Published on 07-19-2017 05:31 PM
This is a messy story. It starts with a report that five BMW's were street racing in North Carolina and their cars were impounded. In this type of situation a judge could potentially decide that the owners lose their vehicles to the state. A giant penalty. ...Published on 07-15-2017 10:31 PM
This is just absurd. A MKVII Golf GTI trapping over 140 miles per hour? Believe it. USP Motorsports ran an incredible 10.112 @ 142.76 in the 1/4 mile which just edges the 10.2 Iroz Mototorsports put up. ...Published on 07-13-2017 09:21 PM
Dinan is no stranger to hypocrisy. Remember when Dinan stated piggyback tuning was bad? Well, now it's suddenly good when Dinan is selling Dinantronics piggybacks. Speaking of which, Dinan specifically had a tester release a dyno graph of their W205 C63 AMG M177 tune. ...Published on 06-26-2017 11:02 AM
Here is a simple and cost effective upgrade to improve efficiency in your EA888 1.8T or 2.0T engine. APR's turbocharger inlet pipe is compatible with IHI IS12, IS30, or IS38 turbos and increases flow to 441 cfm from 379 cfm. ...Published on 06-24-2017 03:33 AM
The 2.0 EA888 motors get the majority of the love but the IS38 turbocharger is a nice upgrade for the 1.8T EA888 engines. Keep in mind the IS38 turbocharger is factory equipment on the MKVII Volkswagen Golf R and the Audi S3. ...
