Thanks for posting such detailed installation, much appreciated.

Any reason for not putting the controller in the grove box? As long as it is accessible, it doesn't matter at all.

It must be freezing in Canada.

[hotshot25120]

The side cover can be pulled really easy and the controller sit perfect there.

and yes its very cold here , -10C to -30C (14F to -22F).

Im still in testing to be sure the failsafe is working but I will be able to test it better this spring because right now its too slippy and the car cut the fuel for the traction control.

[Richard L]

Make sure you put plenty of methanol into the way tank.

Very tidy installation indeed. Must have taken you some time.

[hotshot25120]

yeah 2 day to install the kit but I really take my time (vacancy) every connection is secure , every wire is secure.

The only thing im not sure is the failsafe because on the diagram it say "only Mk5" where we need to cut and splice the wire (pin 3 WT/LI)

[Richard L]

Some care now will ensure long term reliability. Worth every drop of sweat.

I believe when the diagram is made the MK6 is not on yet on sale.

Any idea how I can test my failsafe ?

I have try to unclip the Water flow sensor and the gauge goes into the failsafe mode (2 yellow led) but the boost is still there there no wastegate activation.

[Richard L]

if you turn off the gauge the system will go into failsafe mode. Ie the white and brwon wire go open circuit. (DHB and DFS jumper in default mode).

Working slowly on the hfs4 dpi install. Car is a 2009 Tsi Gti (apr k04 kit). Glad to see someone else with a gti on here.

Nice illustrated install. Any reasons on installing the pump where the spare tire is?
