Correct, there's local dealers; direct port is a huge plus. I've been waiting since January for EPL to get direct port working in their dealer network. It's close, but I didn't want to wait any longer so I just sent it out.

I don't want to read backwards through the thread to see if you said, but what are you going to do next to it "mod-wise"?

In all honesty, probably nothing. The car makes good torque and power for Anna and its fast/fun enough for me whenever I land in the driver's seat (which is often). The only things I would do are an uprated FSI fuel pump (with new flash is supposed to be +25hp/+35tq...unconfirmed), FMIC, aquamist....it gets easy to make the list longer but its only going to get super expensive from here on out. If I get a super good deal on a part here or there it might happen, but um...I have something else in the garage to keep me happy power-wise. :)

Heh, no it won't see either. The turbo is damn near maxed on straight pump gas, and the direct injection fuel system is maxed out currently on pump gas as well.

E85 = add more timing!

And if you can't tell, I'm kidding. I know you're not trying to push the limits on this thing.

Yeah, but it's not german, therefore not quite up there.

If you decide to do the bumper yourself, let me know, I have taken apart a few of these bumpers and they're pretty simple. I'd be glad to give you a hand with it.

ORLY....maybe I should have you take a look at it and see if you know how to adjust this one part... :)

Why the thought of doing it yourself when the other guy's insurance is paying for it? Pocket the cash?

Will his insurance cut a check straight to you? I know your own would if you make a claim, but I've never been in an accident so haven't had to deal with someone else's insurance.

Yeah, their insurance will cut him a check, and he can do whatever he wants with it. So I would advise to get two of the highest estimates possible, and submit them to their insurance company.
