HELP WITH FRONT STRUT ON MY MK4 GLI.

Post by solo0590 »

Hey everyone.

So I just got my front strut bar but I dont see any holes, so do I have to drill like i saw online? Is it worth drilling and what not? and if it is can someone tell me howww to install it?

Thanks!

P.S. does anyone know how much boost im getting from my stock turbo? 1.8T

There are usually 3 bolts or so inside your engine bay on each side on top of the shock towers that you unscrew, place the strut bar on, and screw back on.

As for the boost, random shot in the dark, but maybe 8 psi? Ask in the MKIV forums on vwvortex (beware: they can be very cruel if you sound like a noob).
