Why bother? It's fast enough.

Minor gains only as its N/A and the big gains on GTI and Polo are because they have underboosted torque managed turbo setups similar to Falcon XR6T.

They basically just don't use much boost and have all sorts of bullshit torque restrictions in first and 2nd and dont hold boost properly. So once thats all sorted and u add 1 or 2 psi it really hums. If you then just whack on an exhaust and injectors you can then run 1 bar and have a solid 180-200kw GTI

Yeah, I gave the car a extensive thrashing for lack of a better word. Braking power is more then enough for a car of its nature.

Relating back to the box issue - Im more inclined to say the issue was on deceleration. My example, slowing down into a turning lane to cross a major road, some traffic was coming, but at a distance where one would say bugger it ill nail and it and go.

Nailing it meant it wasnt sure if it wanted to be second or in first, and there was a noticeable and pant browning moment of waiting while it decided

Handling it not too bad, but the TC light will flash like a christmas tree if you nail it mid corner. Front is a little loose, but I highly doubt its going to get driven in that nature often.

Turning it off meant it was a giggle of a ride, you could have quite alot of fun while knowing it was still going to respond to inputs from the driver.

Im mostly impressed with the layout inside the car. Everything makes sense - tons of storage room, dials are nice and neat, seats comfy. Typical VW smarts.

Once again, good buy. Id happily roll a black one lowered on some rims as a daily car.

A tune alone will increase power and torque by 10%.. which would rock.

Wonder if transmission mapping can be altered.

I think at the moment they just have issues with upgrading the DSG internals and clutches. Currently made in uobtanium only. Though I am sure RAmon could source a DSG that handles 1000hp without making more than 2 phone calls to a foreign country.

Congrats on the new TSI Dan! We bought my wife the same car DSG box, bi-xexons, leather seats, blah blah back in Oct 07. The car is amazing but takes some getting used to with brakes and tranny. She fills it up once every 3 weeks currently. Check out http://www.vwwatercooled.org.au if you want some info on mods etc.
Cheers Dave

Thanks for the response guys.

I pick it up next wednesday

Well everybody, I picked the car up last night!

First impressions of the car far exceed what I was expecting. The car is direct, has plenty of power and is finished absolutely perfectly!

I got to the dealership and the vehicle was inside the showroom ready to go.
The pre delivery from Iain the salesman was second to none, he put me to shame when it came to the deliveries I used to do at Mazda that is for sure! The pre delivery ran for about 30 minutes and he covered the ENTIRE car, from checking oil to changing the tyres.

Now the downsides...
When I was leaving I went to wind the drivers window down with the auto function to find that it was not working. It didn't work going up either. All the other windows worked as they should though.
Iain jumped in and reset the whole car and re configured everything. Still no good. He tried a couple more things before getting the service manager. He came out and tried holding the switch down for 3 seconds which didn't fix it.
A mechanic came out with the computer and plugged it in. Iain and I left them whilst I went and drolled over a R50 and R32 and wished I have $20 - $60K more so I could have bought one of these instead!
We got back and it wasn't fixed. They will have to replace the switch by the looks. This is absolutely no problem with me as they tried their best and it was probably done via the window tinters that day more than it being a fault in the vehicle from factory.
This morning on my long drive to work (260km) I noticed when I got past 6000rpm a terrible vibration would start in the top airvent on the dash.

The way I see it if they are the only 2 things wrong with the vehicle, I am doing pretty bloody good!

Anyway the detailers at the dealership did such a brilliant job of cleaning it, however that only lasted a night.

This is the culprit (the 20km access road to the dam I am working at, the moment

This is the photo nobody wants to take with a brand new car!

Congrat's Dan!

looks good in white!

Ottinger kit, and merc wheel's.. DO IT!
