Is the upgrade that necessary? It just closes the turbo faster right?

Tornado red Jetta? Flik wheels? That's your car?

If so, you did my trial last year at the HR Dubs picnic. I heard you stopped doing flashes!?!

Cool, Thanks. Only thing i gotta figure out now is how to safely get the badges off and put the new ones on good. They got 3M adhesive but i dunno if itll do the trick. Any suggestions?

First get a couple of buckets of hot water and soak the emblems you want off. Then work some fishing line behind the emblems and slowly pull them towards you. Get some goo gone and get the remains of.
