agreed, thats just insane.

No rusty trombones?!

Agreed, Alpine has a great system that has a portable unit that connects to the head unit that has I think a 5" screen. Best of both worlds.

Yeah 200mph would be incredible to say the least. My guess would be right around 160mph. Even with the limiter you still get up to red line, so removing it only affords you a couple thousand more rpm and the MS3 really drops in power at the higher rpm.

QFT. The only way I can do it. Good news is that you get around 32 mpg between 65-70 in 6th, according to the trip comp.

4-6 sounds about right. More than likely it's in port in LA or Seattle. If it's at another dealer they are just waiting for a truck to come by thats heading your way. I know the my dealer had 2 Cosmics in last time I was there, but as far as tight demand it should be getting tighter as the days...

There is a federal law that states adding after market parts to your car CAN NOT void your warranty unless they can prove that the problem you are going in for is caused by the after market part. Here is a link to a "translated" version of the law.http://www.enjoythedrive.com/content/?id=8128...

That's weird. I have to really focus on what I do in the first two gears.

Is VW still plagued with horrible electrical issues? I know a guy who was looking at one a couple years back and a a huge list of things known to have above 50% failure rates within 3-5 years. He ended up getting it because he was going to replace most of the problem parts with after market...

Yay Prostitutes! weak video though. Needs to be way more driving and alot less of the "prostitute" running her mouth about things we just don't care about.

This is my first turbo and I'm only speaking from what I've read on how the turbo works with the MS3. My understanding is the ECU controls the psi and when you get it and it would be in theory always the same. e.g. 3rd gear at 4k 15psi. And it will always be the case unless like you said there...

Yeah take it back. Also look for local forums and talk to other owners about where they take their cars.

What I was saying is unless you're planning on bypassing the rev limiter or boost control what's the point of having a boost gauge? It's always the same.

You planning on bypassing the rev limiter? I've read that reason for not putting a guage in was because of the CPU keeping the turbo on lock down. never going over 15 or 16 psi.

I'm pretty sure the manual says no break in required. My dealer told me the same thing. But I gave it until 1k before really pushing it to the red.
