Sorry to hear about your motor man!

It's tough sometimes to have to live and learn.....:-<

I almost threw a 50 trim on my 2G Tsi a while back myself, but some the guys on the board here were kind enough to talk me out of it, cause I didn't have the correct supporting mods, and I'd wreck my car.

I'm glad I listened to them.

If I were you I'd talk to Mike now about a 2.4 and start saving my cash up for a nice upgrade!
