As for the car, . Nice work.

Glad to see a dealer get into this, but good luck with that spec clutch. My VRT broke two before I went with a real clutch that was better made.

Blow off spacer...we hope to install a Forge diverter very very soon. (As soon as we can get 'em )

This is absolutley WHEEL HORSE POWER, she's amazing

Edit: performed on a Dynojet dyno @ Unatural Inc in Beaveron, OR.

Sorry but if I was going to drop 48K on a car it wouldn't be on a midly modified gti putting down 260 whp. I do agree with the article that people drop a lot of money into their cars but most don't finance their mods along with the car note for 3-5 years.

Its the real deal. However the article neglected to mention that was on race gas. Kind of decieving in that way.

1. If the customer is concerned about warranty, simply explain that motor racing, aggressive driving, including driving for any period of time at full throttle, and car modifications of any kind that facilitate aggressive driving may reduce the useful life of the car and any of its wearable parts. Improving the performance of an engine by altering the engine's computer software may cause the engine to "work harder" and could result in damage to the car. The user assumes these risks. The Magnuson-Moss Act of 1975 does provide that no aftermarket part or accessory that is properly installed on a vehicle will entirely void the original vehicle manufacturers warranty, however the owner must accept that they assume all of these risks.

This is directly from GIAC, but apply's to all aftermarket parts (even oil filter and spark plugs).

Basically your fine unless something breaks and VW proves that a part that you added caused that specific problem, then they won't cover replacement if that problem. (And that problem only)

Note on the warranty statement about VW proving the aftermarket part caused the damage. That is the same crap people fight all the time. It all boils down to the quality or total lack of integrity of the VW dealership.

Euro lips are for people who want their car to "look" low.

Ditto.

That's one thing that would be really nice to have that's missing now.

What's the deal?

Volkswagen, like many auto manufacturers makes vehicles for many international markets. As a European manufacturer many of their "integrated" technology was designed for that market. Examples include the phone button the steering wheel, the traffic button on NAV and others. For the North America market, VW partnered with Motorola's special business unit to develop an OE solution for Bluetooth handsfree. Using Motorola's freely available IHF1000 unit, VW developed a harness that integrates with factory wiring for power/ground, ignition sense, stereo mute and left/right audio using the factory audio system. Volvo, among others, did the very same thing. The VW Factory Bluetooth accessory is designed to work with anyVolkswagen manufacturerd since approximately 2002. The upside is that the system was quick to develop, doesn't hack into any wiring and is completely reversible. The Microphone is placed in the map-light switch area in the headliner and the user-interface module is placed on the dash. Some members of these forums have designed a way to integrate the Parrot system to the wiring that includes the phone button on the steering wheel so that is also an option -- though it it not parts+labor warrantable by a VW Dealer for the length of your 48 month/50,000 mile bumper-to-bumper warranty. Hope that helps... part numbers and prices are available if any are interested. Tom Modified by therzog at 10:15 AM 7-16-2007

Go with "lack of integrity" for Herzog...if their HM Motorsport's customer service is anything like their service department, don't bother with them. Nothing but headaches. On top of that, their service dept has the most expensive parts of any dealership in the area, sometimes by as much as 200%. Oh, and they are not open on Saturdays.

I think that's what we'd like to see!
