They initially kept saying that my cam follower was bad, we would take it out and send them a pic with all my data logs and they could never figure out what happened. Mike and Keith were very responsive, but just could not figure it out. Last thing we talked about was possibly a incompatibility with my ECU that they could not fix. Yeah their factory is amazing and they do turn out some great hardware.

Actually with all those mods I still wasnt quite where a stock 135 is. The gti had crazy torque but not much power, and it sure wasnt near as smooth as this baby. That and the 2.0T was just all over the place, steering the car every way but straight, even with upgraded mounts, and the FWD on that thing made it even worse. I do miss some things bout the GTI but the engine and overall performance wasnt one of them. The friggin apr Intercooler was huge thou, way too big you would think for that car, is wasnt THICK like say the HPF IC for the 1er, it was just really big.
Flat out the inline 6 twin turbo beats the shit outta that weak ass ko3 2.0 anyday, even with it tuned. I think i was still only putting out about 255 whp with the tune and IC and the gti's weight was pretty much exactly what the 135's is, exhaust, yada yada. The gti stock put down i think 174 whp so..
Fun shit thou, crazy lil hatchback
