The Hankooks weren't exactly winners either.Pirelli Cinturatos.
Literally the worst performing tire I've ever driven.

Unless it's 2 -> 1, I downshift the DSG myself to approach a stop in manual mode. It can get noticeably jerky if I let it downshift itself, especially going 3 -> 2, which others have mentioned in the past. I don't really think there's harm in letting the car downshift itself, though.Back to stupid questions, of which I've always got plenty...when paddle shifting, do you downshift when you slow for a stop, or just slow and let it automatically shift down (with shifter over to the triptonic thingy)?

Shop rates are ridiculous on these cars. What's a better project for a desk jockey/non-wrencher to tackle: stock location intercooler swap, or springs and dampers (or maybe coilovers)? I've got ramps and basic tools. No air/impact. No specialty tools. No mechanic friends to bail me out. What say you, forumites? Neither? Lol

I should also mention I recently moved (downsized) and my garage is 100% storage unit at the moment.

Thanks Hans! I was seriously considering this route, but then I recently pulled the trigger on an IE smic from, coincidentally enough, a Jedi(mk7). LolI know its not everyone’s cup of tea, but if you get the Forge twintercooler, its super easy peasy. 2hrs max. So I would vote IC if going with Forge. Im sure I couldve done stock IC location but Im not that crazy about top notch performance and didnt want to spend potentially 8hrs on it. Plus I love the look of my IC.

I have a question in regards to JB1/JB4 and the car’s performance monitor for boost. Will the car’s monitor display the added boost from the juice box or not. So is whatever psi thats displayed actually higher?

Just got it up enough to get the bolt in.
Then used a box end wrench to get it tight.
The torque wrench wasn't easy but doable.
