It was available for like a day or 2. A member in this thread posted they were available and I bought one.
I originally ordered the kit through the shop doing my install but they said they can’t match FCP’s warranty (or purchase from them and pass the warranty along to the customer), so I nixed that order for this. And now, we wait… installation in 2 short weeks.

Resurrecting this saga to note that the GTI owner also appears to have stock non-PP brakes.
Just sayin’, safety before speed… you’re gonna essentially double the factory HP and not touch the brakes?
My GTI is a non-PP too but I made sure to upgrade the tires and brakes all around (PP swap front and rear w/ stoptech rotors and EBC Redstuff pads) in anticipation of adding more than stage 1 power. I had little confidence in the stock brakes at stage 1, can’t fathom how this guy trusts them with this kit installed.

I think everyone in here is waiting to hear how to make more power with this kit 163 pages in. Stay tuned.
BTW, is this thread admissible in court? rofl. Sorry, Johnny and Turd taking the nation had me thinking.

I still have a bunch of stuff I need to buy for fuel, the exhaust, plus an intercooler.
The louder a car is, the more WHP it makes. Everybody knows this. The science is settled. Algore said so.

I didn't relize how small non-PP brakes are until I saw this image. Hope this dude doesn't wrap himself around a tree or kill anyone.

The 312mm brakes are fine with good pads and rotors. Tires also play a big factor in braking too. I currently have 288mm and will be going to 312mm.

Interesting: Had a Q3 customer install the kit. Damn I wish they put this engine in the Tiguan!!!
