Got the EQT Stage 2 93 tune in my email today. Loaded on to my AP and flashed my car during lunch. Just waiting to do some pulls when I get off work. Super excited!

the excitement and thrill the first time testing the car on a stage 2 tune, No other feeling like it!!

Don’t you have a FMIC?

My understanding is that those mounting brackets won’t work with fmic cars due to our pipes

Nice of him to bump it down a bit, still rough though. This was my first moving ticket as well, that moment where you're just hoping they aren't flashing for you hurts haha

they always bump it down, to provide the illusion of helping you out.

I got hit for a 79 in a 45 and he bumped it down to 50 in a 45. I still got 2 points on my license, as in the state of New Jersey (where I am licensed), 5Mph+ over is 2 points on license. In Colorado where it happened, 6+ is points.

in his case I genuinely feel he was being nice, he wasn’t a dick at all. In fact he even said “I know you’ve got a fun car and the mountains are the best place to put it to work, but you have to be mindful of how close you are to town.” I was, of course, 4.5 hours into a drive to Aspen and hadn’t realized I was <2 miles from town when I was doubling the speed limit lol.

You serious? I honestly wasn’t aware

A cardboard box won't help much. Especially if it gets wet.

The brackets won't fit due to how the FMIC hoses are located. You can just leave the brackets off. Won't be as sturdy, but will fit just fine without the brackets

You've run one without it?

Looking at the design - it weighs more right in the front, and has no actual bolt or screws mounts in the front.

Got something for the front to aid with the suspension on the MK7.5 GTI.

nice neighborhood, jose

I contacted FCPEuro....they couldn't give a definite answer, but said if it doesn't work, they'll issue a refund and take it back. It's coming in today, so I'll get one bracket out and do a test fit and report back.

Got the Diselgeek Sigma 6 and BFI Engine/Trans mounts on the same day. Time for a new feel!

Had something similar myself to try out, but I'm going on the mounting holes that the one in question has. They both have the brackets in the same place. The tabs on the front, the screws along the side, and the bolts in the rear will hold it in place. The downside is the lack of locking tabs like the other factory options have to secure the front to the bumper cover. It's meant to be used with the brackets, but it will at least fit without them. Won't be very secure but it will fit.

I ended up getting the thin version of the full length tray. It's held up to impacts from ice balls at highway speeds this past winter.
