    You must be talking about another company b/c I have been chating with the owner for the last two months. He is a really nice guy and if you are interested he will assist you in coming to CA and visiting there shop also. Its a very clean and organized place. You should give them a call.

    well the news on vwvortex is they are no longer selling their kits.... thats where I heard it... from a few people.

    But either way, if it happens on your end... I want a ride!

    Hey man you were right about the discontinued turbo kits. I called and he said that the 620 is under the table since no one ever purchased one.

    thats what i thought, but if you are serious about FI, check out VF engineering's new "beta turbo kit" it's really impressive for the price...

    good luck!

If it dies, make sure to put the stock wheels back on. I used to work on a guy's R32 for him and helped him replace all that when he tore it up. Refused warranty because of his wheels no less.

    Besides that: Only way I'd like it more is if it were black, super clean.

    Up to a 4% weight difference between the front and back is acceptable. Any more than that and the Haldex unit gets angry...

    Save your money then. Haha, staggered look great on RWD cars, but just look silly on AWD imo (of course, still not as bad as FWD).
