Just giving positive review for this seller, quick responses , good pricing and fast shipping!

Short answer, I have these and wouldn’t get them again. Detailed answer: These came on my used Autobahn and I admit I was intrigued with them. The reality is that driving in and out of a major city the ACC is useless within 15 miles of the city, the proximity sensors are always going off for...

Hey, does anyone have a shop they recommend for taking care of wheel rash? Freaking Cambridge curbs!

I researched IE about a year ago and only found good reviews, even if everyone agreed it was just another good OTS stage one tune. I had APR stg 1 on my car but wanted more. The shop that installed the APR also sold EI and I asked about switching to IE ( I was still in the APR trial period) and...

Thanks for all the info on emissions, I don’t know that It would fail but have been told it would be a bit of a crap shoot.

Over on VWVortex I found this: https://www.vwvortex.com/threads/is38-question-cts-vs-ihi-vs-oem-vw.9434379/post-114721259 for those interested in the CTS is38.

Has anyone run an is38 with custom tune but no DP? I’m curious as I won’t pass inspection with the DP and due to a back injury I’d have to pay some to swap it in and out.

The FCP option looks good, I'm not interested in maxing out on power so avoiding fuel mods if possible , though I may go as far as the HPFP.

Hi I think this info might be out there but I can’t find it. Hers seems to be a new product from CTS https://www.ctsturbo.com/product/cts-turbo-is38-replacement-turbocharger-for-mqb-golf-gti-golf-r-audi-a3-s3-2015/ at a really good price right now. I was thinking of going stg 2 but may skip it...

There’s no difference in the numbers, slight tilt to EQT in butt dyno, It’s all about future expansion with AP, and it costs less with resale.

I woke up a t 4 a.m. a realized what a shitty thing I posted, I thought it through and whatever triggered me didn't warrant my post. I'll strive to be better. JerseyDrew77 was a bigger man, I apologize.

I've had both tunes on my car, and they are both great, I took the APR tune off because I'll probably go Stage 2 and home flashing is a requirement to pass emissions if I do. The comparison is not about the tune so much as the flexibility the AP offers, at a lower cost if you resell the AP. But...

Agreed, I've removed my post and will take a break from the forum for awhile.

Simply put, if you have the money for awd now, do it! I love GTIs but awd is a game changer. If you're on this forum you will obey the force and upgrade your car! I love my current set up, but comparing a Mazda speed 3 to a wrx (both owned) awd=wrx. A mazda gtx to speed3 , awd both owned,=GTX...
