I think we don't have the FSI branding anymore since there were some uncharged "real" FSI in the beginning.

At about 6K, I think the K03 turbo has had enough. I have a modshack intake that helps quite a bit with the throttle response. I previously had an APR intake, but sold it because I think it causes a bit of hesitation for some reason.

Yeah I meant DSG in the R, to be honest there is no real 'absence' of torque, but I'm just spoiled from the low end torque in my SL55
which I don't get to drive to much anymore since I own a Mastercraft
But for changing mechanical parts on the engine, we need to get the car checked and reapproved in that case, that was to much of a hassle for me, also modifing more than a stage1 always comes with a louder exaust, which is no option for my everyday use.

I need better tires.  |
or 4 wheel drive
this is what I'd love to own, but then again, you could get a much cooler car than a Golf for over a 100k Euro
