Got my Dahlback Racing ECU, Tip Chips, Diverter Valves, WOW!!!

I was at a crossroads. I was not happy with the power of the stock 2.7T. I was yearning for more HP and Torque. So rather than go out and spend some big $$ for a new(er) car with more juice, I decided to upgrade what I have. So I had the Dahlback Racing ECU, Tip Chip, Diverter Valves, N-75 K Valve, APR Kevlar TBB and Snub Mount installed. All I can say is my power needs are met at least for the immediate future. The car is so much more responsive. The boost comes on much earlier and is very predictable. The shifts are crisp. Standing start lag is minimal and anything rolling is immediate pin you back. I'm not sure of what "Stage" I am with the Cat back exhaust and these components.

In addition I also had new rear brakes, spark plugs and air filter installed as well as a complete TB service including a water pump.

All told I'm about $3K in for my "new" car. I am very happy as I figure I saved about $40K! Major props to German AutoSport in Amesbury MA. Very professional and very experienced building modified German automobiles.

Nice! I am still thinking about theexact same set up... I wonder if it would be worth my trip to

come up and see your guy. If you don't mind, can you let me know how much that all cost and if you have it broken out? I am doing the brakes now, but need to do exactly everything else (maybe minus the Tip Chip due to cost).
