Greetings Everyone. I'm starting this thread in order to keep a record of the maintenance and upgrades I do to my 20th.

I purchased the 20th from its original owner in the Summer of 2014.
The car had just shy of 72,000 miles and actually hit 72k on the way home and had the following mods:

Timing Belt and Water Pump done at 61k
Revo Stage 1 Tune
Billstein PSS9 Coilovers
Neuspeed 28mm Rear Sway Bar
H&R Front Sway Bar
RPI Willwood Light Weight 13" Race Big Brake Kit
19"x8" Iforged Essen Wheels w/1.5 inch lip up front and 3" lip on the rears (Now running OZ Superleggeras, 18x8)
Thomas Sport Tuning X-Brace
Techtonics full turbo back exhaust
Samco TIP
Greddy Intercooler
HKS Super Sequential blowoff (Now running VW's OEM 710N Diverter Valve)
42 Draft Designs Catch Can
AEM CARB Compliant CAI
42 Draft Designs wrapped gauge pods with AWE boost and EGT gauges
EIP short shifter (Now running and OEM R32/TT Shifter with 42 Draft Designs Bushings)
Euro Kilometer and Celsius cluster gauge skin
Recaro Speed seats (Now running OEM 20th Seats..... Airbags are the coolest)
Schroth harnesses (Now running the stock 20th seat belts)
Pioneer double din head unit with Bluetooth and Ipod connectivity
Custom subwoofer box in the hatch area with two 8" Boston Acoustic subs (Removed for weight reduction and more cargo space)
R32 control arm bushings
LUK Stage 1 Clutch
Momo steering wheel with red stitching (Now running the stock 20th Steering Wheel because airbags are cool)
Underground racing light weight billet pulleys (Now running stock Crank and Water Pump Pulleys for better vibration dampening)

There is a multitude of other changes, upgrades, and maintenance done other than what you see above that are discussed throughout this thread. ENJOY!

Removed Schroth Harnesses

-They were annoying to deal with on a daily basis compared to the stock 20th seat belts

[HR][/HR]
Replaced the HKS BOV with a Bosch 710N Diverter Valve

-I wanted the benefits of a recirculating setup and wasn't really a fan of the added noise/attention that the BOV venting to atmosphere brought.

Cleaned the AEM air filter.

Boost Leak Testing

-I noticed my boost levels had dropped so I made a Boost Leak tester. Found a boost leak at the MAP sensor connection. I found two boost leaks. One at the intercooler and one was coming from a crack in the Emissions Jet Suction Pump. The previous owner did not seal the sensor properly with the aftermarket intercooler. I have plans to put a smaller and more efficient intercooler that I have left over from an old build on the car so I made a temporary gasket out of some gasket materials and buttoned everything up. I ordered a the Emissions Jet Suction Pump Assembly later that day.

Removed the Subs in the rear

- I did this mainly to gain the extra cargo space. The weight reduction wasn't a bad thing either.
Replaced the Front Door Latch Assembly (Part #3B1837015AS)

-The car didn't know when the door was open. The door chime wouldn't ding and the puddle light wouldn't illuminate when the door was opened.

-I followed the DIY video that Deutsche Auto Parts made. I highly recommend using this DIY and purchasing from Deutsche Auto Parts if you have to do this job. Their DIY made an annoying job quite easy. See below for the DIY.

Replaced Billet Pulleys for OEM

- The car had Billet pulleys that I removed. I put the OEM pulleys back on because of the better balancing and vibration dampening for the engine.

-Billet Pulleys Removed

OEM pulleys installed with new OEM hardware.

Thanks. There will be some more stuff coming soon. Just need to take the time to organize things.

I wasn't too stoked on them when I bought the car because they weren't the 20th Recaros, but they have grown on me. Your seats are at a whole different level.

Aww shucks, I was talking about how comfortable they are, so much more snug than the factory seats

I totally agree. I'm keeping them in the car because of how comfy and sung they are.

They would have to be a 100% Mint Pair. Otherwise I'm very happy with these aftermarket Recaros.
