welcome to the previous home of my 2006 steel gray sti.
Now enjoy my 2008.5 VW Gti.

im going to keep updates on it here, not that anyone will care. my STI will remain in post #2, to remember it


2008.5 black magic pearl GTI - sunroof and cold weather pkg.

i ended up with the new TSI engine. still the same 2.0T with some revisions. good and bad. bad being that there are no power mods out for it yet. A stage 1 reflash will be out by september, along with a new downpipe and intake for stg.2. thats what i will have ASAP. but for now...
