rubbish inside?

I dunno what is the plastic there for.. I afraid if i pull it out might affect something...

1) Did you send for engine wash before ? 

2) Did you send for sound-proofing before ? 

If I were you, I'll try to slowly pull it out without too much force. Curious ma 
If cannot pull out, I'll just stuff it back in 
If can, I'll put aside permanently or throw away.

one thing about uprating engine performance output,
higher torque churning out from the engine can potentially kill your gearbox in the long run

- wet 6 speed dsg (DQ250) on 2.0 TSI engines are rated up to 350nm
passat cc r line 3.6 v6 engine is not exceeding this manufacturer limit

- dry 7 speed dsg (DQ200) on TSI engine below 2.0 are rated up to 250nm
polo gti & passat 1.8tsi is on 250nm

i mean surely those engine can go pass this torque limit, but they want the DSG to last in the long run

VW group does have better dsg box for higher torque limit (550nm)
- DQ500 (transverse engine, Audi TT RS 450nm)
- DL501 (longitudinal engine, Audi S4 440nm)

I never done 1 and 2 but I tried pulling it out..

After that I put it back in haha..

not sure, but if your dyno figures are pulling that much on wheels i doubt it's cutting much
well i guess one can remap dsg too

it's behind the headlights right?
it's on mine too, maybe seal for electronics/sensor

no comment since just 2-3 K, you got extra 10% power without disturbing your engine.
why not? 
both 

as your reference. both also 20+nm and 24hp

therefore is ok

Any new beetle owner already?

actually, I am on stage 1 now. I thought at first! wah, i think i will be happy with the gain. Wont touch anymore further but as you get used to the power, you will yearn for more.

If we are talking about disturbing engine, i think the most intrusive to the engine would be stage 3.
even stage 2, you hardly need to touch the engine.

Full exhaust system and intake. HPFP optional.

Btw, the more powerful it gets.. wear and tear of parts will also increase faster.
  i think i will stay at stage 1 for a while more.

Need  VW Scirocco owner advise here. I am looking for hot hatch car. I test drive the 1.4TSI Roc and feel it underpowered since I've tasted the 2.0 engine from GTi. I went to VW Ipoh and they said they stop selling the 2.) Roc only left with 1.4TSI & R version. R version is totally out of my budget.

Should I get the 2.0 one from the grey importer?
Or should I just buy the GTi instead? If I go down the Gti road, should I wait for the Mk7 out?

Any opinion or view on this is much appreciated.

Why no more 2.0? Discon or no stock ATM?

Damn I didnt know my apartment got 1 black polo gti.. So jealous.. I tot i'm the only 1 owns a VW in my apartment...

I think its discontinued because they want people to buy scirocco r instead.
Have to find showroom or sa that still have stock if they want to buy scirocco 2.0
Sam seems to still have stock
