Never noticed you didn't have a short-shifter yet. Did you give a thought to the Dieselgeek SS? I ran the Neuspeed SS for some time, but the Dieselgeek is just so much more positive (and shorter) in its action!
I am sure the S3 shifter would retain that OEM feeling of "slotting into" gates, rather than the slight notchiness in Dieselgeek. But for me, the dieselgeek with my weighted shift-knob is just the perfect setup

That and the 034 billet insert. That piece is a must!

I definitely get that. My DG had to be adjusted about 2-3 times, and I still do't think it's perfect. Definitely curious how the S3 feels in comparison.

Yep, the 42DD bushings are worth it! I had them on when I was running the Neuspeed SS. They will get rid of some of that mushy feeling.

Yep, it is a beautiful piece! I am waiting on my Tyrolsport hatch-brace to arrive as we speak. Hoping it will pair well with the UB

Installed TyrolSport Stage2 hatch bracing today. What a perfect fit this item was. Love how it can easily be removed in an minute and didn't require any drilling. Install is so clean and OEM like. I opted for black bars for the stealth look.
I received mine yesterday. Hoping to install it asap! Hope you are liking it

Haha, need I mention I got the black-coated one too
Anyways, your car is definitely an example of how to do modding right :thumbsup:Just watched the install video. Did you have to cut the trim to put it back in place?

Ready to race!
Loving the updates you have planned. Just picked up some ST coilovers for mine. Will be getting some new rubber for my wheels as well for the summer. Can't wait!

Got an updated tune from Unitronic with some minor adjustments to rectify an issue I was having. The problem I would have was between 3rd and 4th gear shifts under heavy load. The car was losing all power unless I lifted my foot off accelerator and depressed again.
The throttle body plate wasn't reacting fast enough. A couple tweaks from John at Unitronic and the issue is fixed. Feels good to hammer through the gears again
Feels good when tuners get back and solve these issues. I faced a similar ordeal with the APR 2.1 software. Happy driving :thumbsup:
This is a great build. I just read the whole thing. I linked over to see what wheels you were running. I love those. I usually prefer OEM wheels but those ones are great looking.
I'm thinking about doing the P3 gauge as well. I don't know how I feel about digital boost vs. analog. I've got analog on my old TDI and love seeing what the turbo is doing.
