Default Re: YOU PW..

Sorry but it's Christmas time and I'm spending it all on me and getting all the things I ever wanted for my ride.

So far got my chip, tint, dent fixed, wheels, now all that's left is CO, next week and would like to get the sway at the same time. Have a Jetex Exhaust but gonna replace it with APR.

Merry Christmas to me, Merry Christmas to me....Ho Ho Ho I'm a posting Ho.

Default get your coilovers, then decide if you want the swaybar.

You can search on why this is a good idea. You may get the coilovers and decide that's plenty aggressive for your needs.

If you are getting an APR exhaust, that's good. I'd suggest a boost gauge of some sort in your list of stuff, and perhaps a VAG-COM.

Default Yes

And I've got a set of H-Sports Front And Rear sway bars that'd you'd like better than the Neuspeeds.

Email if you're interested, it's brand new, just an open box.

Default Skip sway bar upgrades........

On the street, it just rides harsher, and on the track, it just makes the inside wheels get light, and quattro doesn't react to that well existing a corner.

BTDT. Save your money, and tune your suspension properly with good springs and shicks.

Default Unless you have a turbo bigger than a K04, get a Borla......

It's quiet, looks and fits great, and it's way cheaper.

Good idea I Killed Kenny. I'll hold off on thw SB. Can I get a boost gauge that fits seemlessly into the console? Where can I get a good one? Don't like that pillar mount crap. Also, what's a VAG-COM?

Default Do the center-vent one from APR or AWE, I think they fit very well.

Vag-COM is a software application that allows you to diagnose and get engine information and readings:
