Yeah but for a lot of people like me where this car is my daily driver TT or SC is not an option. I am not willing to sacrifices that much reliability, i'd like ot keep my tranmision and engine warranty.

So for me i'd stick to moderate modifications. Pro Kit drop, sway bars.... HFC and Cat Back.... CAI.

Plus I like the way NA engines feel.

Looky I found my thread

So far, I've purchased the Vossen CV1s, Eibach Pro Kit, and I'm debating on what exhaust to get. Looks like it's going to be the ARK Performance exhaust.

Other than that, I'm ordering the stock spoiler and splash guards this weekend. It's a work in progress, but I want to keep the clean luxury look of the G without the boy racer look and sounds.

Wow, you were moving pretty quick. I've been debating buying the exhaust and intake because it's $$$. This car is becoming an expensive hobby.

It's either much needed car audio gear to fill the low end, or performance parts today. Either way, I'll quickly run up against $1k today.

are you saying you made 317 whp BEFORE your TT setup, and w/ no tune? That dyno must have been severly inflated lol that is an insane number just from intake/headers/exhaust, even with a tune.

Man you guys work quick. I bought the car while I was on R&R leave back in April, and didn't get a chance to really enjoy it too much. Got back to the desert, and I got the itch to start buying stuff. I'll be back Monday, so til then, I'm ordering up stuff so it can be en route by the time I get home.

hi-speed, we may have to get up sometime. My parents live in Columbia, so I'm in the Carolinas every now and then.
