        Congrats!!!
        On a side note, I've installed a few things on my R if you wanted to check some of them out to see if you want them.
        Including: JB1, Drop in AFE Filter w/ Snow Guard Delete, ECS Clutch Bleeder Block, Rear Sway Bar, 034 Dogbone Mount, Mid Muffler Delete and a few VagCom Tweaks.

        PM me.

          I may have to take you up on that! The JB1 and clutch bleeder are a couple things I've been looking into.

            Installed the Clutch Bleeder last weekend. It's crazy what a difference it makes.
            Installed the JB1 last night... And all I can say... Is wow...
            To much more power would most likely be not very enjoyable around town

                I'm curious to see how much better the JB1 is than my power module. Also, interested in the cutch bleeder. What exactly is the crazy difference? Scott if you end up doing this let me know and maybe we can order a few.

                  Stock, I found the clutch didn't engage as soon as you took your foot off of it. As thou the clutch pedal is released at a rate which is much slower then a person can achieve by lifting their foot off quickly. Causing it to slip.

                  With the bleeder block the clutch pedal is a little firmer but the biggest difference is how quickly the clutch grabs. I don't think I can lift my foot off quicker then the pedal comes back.

                  On the road, I feel much more confident taking those 'quick' left turns as the clutch engages right away and I can get on the power.

                  As well from my understanding this should prolong the life of the clutch quite a bit.

                    Will do! I mentioned these to Colin a few weeks ago, so I was thinking about getting in on their next ECS order. Plan B is to remove the restrictor from the stock part since I've come across a couple of DIYs for that now.

                    This lines up with everything I've read about the ECS part.

                      She's finally home and I absolutely love it! Hopefully I'll have the tail lights and everything installed over the weekend.
