1st time VW GTI owner from an F150 Ecoboost

[Vw5002000]

Never thought I would own a VW but priorities changed a little and started working at an Audi Dealership and here I am. Just traded in a 16 F150 2.7 Ecoboost 4x4 for a 17 GTI S Manual. Got a great price and after driving it, I was seriously impressed. Thanks for having me in the forum.

Welcome. Lots of info and good people here.

More good news: Your car can make some serious gains and become even more impressive to you from a few basic mods. Enjoy!

Thanks for the warm welcome. I'm super impressed at how the GTI performs and I've done a tune on my previous vehicles but for some reason, I'm a little concerned with voiding the warranty so soon. I'm on day 4 of ownership and just did tint so far. Not sure what I want to do next.

Lol.... Definitely gonna be looking into the JB4. Heard nothing but great things about it.

Yes Sir it is. Just moved to the big city and retired from the Coast Guard so finding parking etc was literally stressing me out ; So traded in the truck and even with 10k of negative equity, my payment dropped $213 a month and only added 2 months onto the loan so it definitely could have been a lot worse.

Welcome!

Funny to think that the 2.7 ecoboost pushes around that much vehicle and lets it tow something like 7,500lbs... and here we are with just 700cc (and a handful of psi) less with our little go-karts

My desire is to own/drive a truck -- financially/realistically, here I am on the MK7 forum. Still cross shop them every now and then.

JB4 is awesome, i recently installed mines and posted a review here somewhere. 100% would recommend for those looking for more power and want to keep warranty.

Ya if you are concerned with warranty than a JB4 is for sure the way to go. Welcome to the community.
