Yes but given my wife will be driving it to take the kids to school and has already curbed my OZ Racing wheels once I think it's a waste to leave some of the parts on the car. Plus it means I don't have to spend those $ again and can instead put those $ towards more performance mods.... perhaps even a BBK :)Quote:

Mate, I think you're stuck between a rock and a hard place :P
I know how it feels when the wife destroys a wheel, mine did it on my previous Golf R (OZ Ultraleggera in matte black).
She drove for about 3-5meters along a sidewalk and the passenger side wheels were half matte black half silver.
Ok, if you are seriously considering an another Tig, how about going for an Audi Q3, and transfer all your mods to that and K04 ed it. Q3 is lighter than Tig due to aluminium hoods etc and got better interior than a Tig, but will still share most hardware parts between two platforms. Then you have something new and refreshing not a boring Tig again and can use most of the mods on the new platform :) And most importantly it will be faster than a K04 ed Tig. :D
Yeah, reason that APR and some other tuners getting high numbers is that these new Gen 3 engines got bigger more efficient turbos. But how long these engines will last with that power is a different matter! I am sure no tuner will test a car for long term effects on engines like OEM.Quote:

Otherwise I'd look at picking up a 132TSI for a good price, installing the R-line body kit on it and going straight to a K04 kit (forget stage 1 & 2).Quote:

I thought you said you are bit bored with Tigs :) Anyways Q3 s are not that expensive and definitely can have one under 50k. They are only 1555 Kg of weight relative to 1640 Kg of weight of Tigs. K04 ed it and you will be in better position than a new Golf R! That 100 kg of weight saving it very difficult to get by any amount of mods done to a Tig.Quote:

Any chance on the Alltrack?
Alltrack is off the list. Unfortunately it's classified as a wagon (according to my wife). And any wagon is not allowed in our driveway :facepalm:Quote:
