Default 500 hp capabilities?!?!??!

The thought of this just blows me away ....

New kit by ATP that is capable of 500 hp. Extreme modding necessary. Any takers?

Nice!!!

Add a new fuel pump, injectors, clutch & LSD, and you'll still be smoking the tires through the first 4 gears. Very very tempting though. Too bad I really don't like Eurocode Tuning.



Cheers!

the VF engineering kit offers more hp on the RS/R kit. but still, very meaty.

He's just saying that cause if i get him that turbo kit for x-mas....trust me he wont be turning it back in for an apr turbo kit, wich goes for 2k and chge and only 100 more hp. lol

I think all those turbo kits are only meant for manual trannys, so dsg is out... F#ck me.

You can look to HPA for a DSG upgrade even though they don't do turbos for the 2.0. Not cheap though...

But back to the topic... even with a LSD... 500HP on a FWD... And a lot of us wer laughing at Caliber SRT4 and Mazda Speed.

I've been begging Santa, but it's not working. LOL

The sad thought is I'm getting 4 different bonuses within this month and have enough money to do everything I ever wanted to the A3, big turbo kit, BBS rims, LSD and stiffer clutch. Too bad I'm buying a house.[:'(] Now I'll have to settle for the awesome little car currently sitting in my garage. I guess that is the good part, even without extensive mods, this car is still a blast to drive.



Cheers!

It is kind of a personal thing, but many others share my sentiments. My first encounter with David was great. He bent over backwards for me, gave me a great deal and his customer service was excellent. Since then, I've had mediocre competency from his mechanic installing parts, and many times calls not returned and many a run-around on issues he should have solved quickly. He goes from being a totally cool guy, to a complete *******.

Oh well, that's my experience. Take it for what it's worth.


Cheers!
