[kandiman]

Has anyone installed one of these earthing kits on a Golf?

Any benefits gained doing this?

I don't believe it'll give you 5hp, it looks cool though.

Performance gains offset by weight arguably.

Is this just replacing your current power and ground cables with thicker cables?

I think so dude....and not even replacing, just adding...

One major problem, the companied assumed this

one aspect that tends to get overlooked by many manufacurers is an adequate grounding system dedicated specifically to assist the engine electrical and ignition systems

Would a car company really spend hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars in devoping a car just to overlook the electical system in the end?

Perhaps if you car was very very old and all the cables where coroded or descintergrating

That's exactly what I was thinking. I just think it's emphasizing the wank factor. It looks cool and seems like an awesome thing to do if you didn't have any grounding cables to begin with, but just to amp up what you've already got, eehhhh...

it adds aleast 20kw if you use fluorescent green on blue wires in a matching colour to the neons throughout the inside/underneath of the car

Grounding kits used to have noticeable effects on Subarus. Factory earthing wasn't very good so it was common practice to run earths from the 2 fuel injector banks, another from near the alternator & from the gearbox/starter motor. The difference was minor, yet noticeable, especially in the B4. In a VW... who knows?
