Patrick Johnson - Ghost - 09-05-2013
Hey whats up guys!! Im Patrick currently a junior at BRCC/ODU with a major in mechatonics and a minor in industrial engineering. I had heard about MM thru one of my good friends Jon Combs. I had tried to start a car club at BRCC but failed due to lack of... well.. mature responsible car enthusiasts. Well I guess heres a little bit about me Im 21, work at Hollister INC. in Facility Maintenance, Im into anything with a steering wheel, guns, love taking pictures, and having a good time. Ive been to VIR probably a dozen times, summit point 5 times, Road Atlanta 2 times. unfortunately Ive only been on track at VIR 2 times and on track at summit point once. Ive done quite a few auto-x with SCCA and PCA, and have been in 2 drift events. right now i have a 1992 240sx and a 2012 VW GLI. here are some pictures, enjoy!

Re: Patrick Johnson - JPolen01 - 09-05-2013
Welcome man! I don't think I got a chance
to meet you the other night, but I was the guy that talked for a while at Klines. Cars look cool! Hopefully you can come out to vir in October.
Re: Patrick Johnson - Ghost - 09-05-2013
Ah ok ill have to meet ya in person at the need meeting, how do we sign up for the email? Yea man I plan on coming to VIR!
Re: Patrick Johnson - JPolen01 - 09-05-2013
Send your email in a message to the facebook page. And just some general housekeeping, we don't allow pictures in signatures. They just tend to clutter up pages and make them longer than necessary.
Re: Patrick Johnson - Ghost - 09-05-2013
Ahh ok my bad.
Re: Patrick Johnson - SlimKlim - 09-05-2013
Welcome!
That's a nice DD, stick or DSG? I've been kind of tempted to tune my GTI, but despite the fact the tuners say you can do Stage 1 with no additional mods, I have a hard time believing all that extra heat won't cause issues over the course of a few years. :dunno:
Re: Patrick Johnson - Ghost - 09-05-2013
Thanks! I love it. Mines a stick, they said with DSG you can go up to K04 sawp with 350whp amd have no problems because its double clutch. Thats what the APR guyw said when I did my stage one. The VW dealer in Staunton is a licenced, in house APR dealer. Thats wherr I did mine. APR is still covered under warranty. My fuel mileage went up by 1-2mpg avg also. So far no bad side effect... well.. minus tires haha. I've kept an eye on oil lvls and oil heat. As well as any boost spikes or faults with the DV. I've done that with the help of the computer at tje VW dealership that my friend works at. So far evrything is very normal. I've put 7000mi on it with the tune amd intake. And taken it to an autox and I drive it very spirtitly on the street lol. No isses yet
Re: Patrick Johnson - davej - 09-05-2013

Re: Patrick Johnson - D_Eclipse9916 - 09-06-2013

Re: Patrick Johnson - JustinG - 09-06-2013
Welcome aboard.

Cool, I'm at 62k miles so warranty isn't an issue for me. I have a bluetooth OBD-II port but unfortunately the MKVs won't let you access Oil Temp or Pressure, the only things I could monitor to keep an eye on heat are water temp and exhaust temps. I have a shop that will give me a Revo tune at cost, but I'm still not sure I'll do it. If I use launch control I'll just shred the front tires to bits even at stock power levels, and I'd rather spend the money on the project car. ~220hp is just fine for a DD in NoVa traffic anyway. If it was my only car I'd definitely be screwing around with it though.

Unfortunately I will not.. I was originally but other plans came up
Re: Patrick Johnson - Sully - 09-07-2013
Lincoln, my roommate and uhh I guess former MMer has KO4's in his S4. I know nothing about VAG (well there is no good way to say that) but I know he didn't shut up about those turbos all last year.

Re: Patrick Johnson - BFisch06 - 09-08-2013
The K04 is the stock turbo used in GM's LNF engine (which is in both of my cars). Can't say enough good things about them.
Re: Patrick Johnson - Ghost - 09-08-2013
The k04 comes on some Audis and the Golf R and i think speed3. APR has a turbo swap kot for the gti and gli that I would love to do (hopefully next summer) One of my friends has a k04 swapped gti and he's making roughly 360 at the wheels and something like 390tq. The way the car ia geared its a monster from a highway roll.
Re: Patrick Johnson - BFisch06 - 09-08-2013
Good lord! How much boost is he running to make 350+? 25 or 27 psi? The LNF's can hit 350 crank with a tune and a few supporting mods, but 360 at the wheels is incredible.
Re: Patrick Johnson - Ghost - 09-11-2013
He's running 28psi on the k04 in te gti. My industria engineering professor at brcc is running 30psi on a gt28 in his 1.8t passat that's hiw daily and he runs meth on it lol dude is crazy.. he also had a dodge stealth on a wet shot for awhile haha. Guy just likes to go fast
Re: Patrick Johnson - Ghost - 09-11-2013
The gti is also direct injection. I don't know if the LNF motors are or not. Hes got full intake full TBE exhaust bigger IC and of course the APR tune
