I've seen shops do it as cheap as $75, like if a sale was going on or something like that. Typically it seems to be about $100-110 a wheel. I'm being charged $125 per wheel, plus $20 per wheel for unmount/remount tires plus rebalancing, and I have one wheel with a bit of curb damage they're repairing for free, so altogether $580.
I want to do candy red, so he said that's a tristage job that takes a few days to do and takes more time and materials, so it's a little bit more per wheel.

I run em except now when in winter mode but I have in winter and they’re solid. Definitely no stick for track day but they’re not for the track so I ain’t mad at em. LETS GOOO!!![emoji1377]

cold air. Is denser than warm air so less boost is needed.

Gotcha I was just worried, but do plan on investing on a GFB DV+ soon just incase.

Hey Dub_Polo! As already stated cold air is denser so it is normal to see lower boost numbers in cold weather.
15psi is still pretty normal for our OTS stage 1+ map which targets for 17psi with a variance of +/- 2psi.

So here's my stupid question. 2010 GTI, 123,xxx miles, 6mt. Everything is stock except a Magnaflow CBA, no tune.
In the last month, I've had two coil packs go randomly. Both times it happened in 3rd gear around 2.5-3k rpm, under moderate to heavy acceleration out of a corner. It felt like it started to build boost, then a pop, CEL, misfiring. Is this normal of coil packs to wear out and fail like this, is it an indicator of a larger issue?
Thanks in advance.

If they are original coil packs yes. 125k miles is a bit. I changed mine at 60k and will again at probably 100k just for funsies.
Get The Audi r8 red top coils (about same price as oem VW) they are a little stronger.

Switch them all to R8 coil packs and you shouldn't have any more failures, stock ones stop working regularly.

I would assume cruise control is not limited by top speed, but there's only 1 way to find out...
