As it's my daily driver, I swore no mods....that lasted 2 weeks before I had a Unitronic Stage 1+ tune added.

Nice. Yeah, I told myself no mods for a while too... Well that lasted less than 3400 miles; LOL! How do you like the Unitronic tune?

Like it a lot. Didn't do the DSG tune yet as I feel it shifts fine and as this is my DD, I am not doing a lot of hard launches. Must say that it does feel like a sub 4 sec 0-60 car now with the tune. If I decide to add intake and downpipe for the Stage 2, I'll do the DSG tune at that time........but right now, Stage 1+ is fine for a DD.

Cool. I decided to do both (APR). 'Also added the 034 Motorsports dogbone mount insert and removed the snow grate from under the air filter.
