Haha I'm going to have to cut myself off here shortly... either that or meet the wrath of my fiance, and risk her throwing me out of our apartment... then again an upgraded exhaust might actually be worth those consequences... :D

Thanks for the help guys... I will be picking up the internals tomorrow, as well as a Cobb RMM... Wallet takes another hit, but I feel like I'm getting pretty close to having my car where I want it to be.

That Ralco STS does look like a damn good deal... I got the JBR plate/bushings/knob installed this afternoon, and the difference is night and day! You guys had me a little worried, but I actually really like the feel. The shift between 1st and 2nd, as well as 2nd and 3rd, feels a million times bette...

Damn! I guess I should have looked a little further into it... I saw good things about the JBR set, and I will be installing the plate, bushings, and knob tomorrow afternoon.

I'm planning on picking up an AP within the next couple days, so I will run the logs and hopefully have an answer by this weekend. Do you think the stock pump could handle those mods (TMIC, COBB SRI, COBB TIP) over 50,000 miles? Like I said before, the car drives great (minus the transmission... whi...

Thanks guys! @AuroraAxela... I have now read in a couple other threads that if the Fuel Pressure can get up to between 1,700 and 1,800 psi at WOT that I should be good... does that sound right? Also, did JBR discontinue that mount? I haven't been able to find any information about the 90 duro, but I...

I will get some pics up soon. And yeah, I want to know whether or not the upgrade was done. From the research I've done, it looks like getting to the pump is not crazy dificult... But I'd rather have a mechanic do it with my limited tools and mechanical knowledge. I feel like the safest route is to ...

New Speed3 Owner

Hey everyone! Just purchased a used 2009 Black Mica Speed3 at Larry H Miller Volskwagen... The car has 49k miles on it, and a couple standard mods... Cobb SFI, and TMIC (Not sure on manufacturer)... everything else looks stock, and the car drives awesome. I've already got a JRB Short Shifter Plate p...
