 Project A3 DSG: Front Mounted Intercooler Upgrade and Dyno Testing | « » 1:58 PM 12/5/2006 | |
|
 When an owner does power upgrades his or her car, it’s natural to want to measure those gains. This curiosity for reporting is even more apparent in test-cases such as our Project A3. Having installed an APR exhaust, APR ECU and Carbonio intake, such testing and reporting is long overdue. This car received its first engine upgrades roughly one year ago in preparation for the SEMA show in Las Vegas, and with a full system having since taken shape, the expected trip to the dyno wasn’t just expected, it was mandatory.

the tires were like that for about 3 days. the place that put them on did it in a hurry knowing they'd be back off again.these pics were taken about 5 or so months ago.

no, the rebar is the ONLY thing that has to be trimmed. with a good powered saw, Eurojet said it took less than 5 minutes to trim after marking off the area with a marker.

That is a killer looking piece, but why soo much, 1000 bucks is pretty steep considering there are other options out there. This would be my first choice if it was like 200 bucks less

that sale was advertised in the A3 forum, the GTI/Jetta V forum and the 2.0T forum, you must have been in a coma to miss it.
