dcpppf Build Thread CSG '12 Autobahn

[dcpppf]

I previously owned an ’05 cavalier. Had it since my junior year of high school all through college. After about 100k miles and having a real job for 7 months I finally got me a 2012 GTI. I went with a CSG Autobahn 6 speed 4 door. Was able to finance for zero percent as the ‘13s were rolling out in the next month.

This is where I’m at so far. Still young and never had a car to mod so it’s a pretty weak list. Feel free to offer up some suggestions

Planning to get APR downpipe and reflash next month! Will report back with updates.

Got the stage 2 reflash with APRs DP and love it thus far. I had a 2.5 hour trip back from the tuner so after about halfway I assumed it was good and broken in so I decided to see how I liked it. Car felt stronger, pulled harder, sounded great. Has a nice meaty tone to it. I have heard some complaints about driving around town with the stage 2 tune, and haven't had much of a feel for that yet. But so far I am very pleased with the upgrade!
