    Cheap Performance?

    Not dissing the N\A just saying turbo = easy power. Never had the ballz to go any faster in that car as it was a bit unstable. And I made that car 1000 times better than the shape I got it in so pissoff! A new motor helps your case! You know the only things I did to that car were suspension...

    Has anyone heard of an "X-brace" for the mk3?

    I know several here that can do it too but what I want is to know if it would be worth the weight and cost. It seems nobody that was in that group is here.....so I guess it was not worth the price or its one of those you won't ever find one kinda things? Thanks for your response!

    Extremely Confused

    Trust me if you have access to a lift its relatively simple but on the ground its a pain :cry: The starter has to go out through the bottom if you don't want to remove anything.

    Cheap Performance?

    I had an n/a. They make great daily drivers. Don't bother with mods. You can dump cash in it all day and won't really notice any gains(trust me I know). Just keep it in good working order save your money and do a heart transplant pre-modded in a few years.:runaway:

    Has anyone heard of an "X-brace" for the mk3?

    A friend of mine at work was telling me of a x-brace that was on the bottom of his friends mk3. It was a white turbo here in Memphis Tn about 5 or so years ago. He said it was a group buy unit so I assume someone here may have one? Just wanted to know if anyone has heard of this or even seen one.

    I'm new so....

    Thanks for the input! It's a weird vibration that only happens ocassionaly in slow turns (2-10mph) and sometimes when I put it in reverse. I hope it is something that easy to replace and not my lsd!

    cooleeze upper i/c pipes w/ pre installed bov?

    I have a set from cooleeze. It is over priced and it does not come with the bov just the flange. But if your lazy and want direct fitment with no welding or cutting it works and looks great! It comes with all the hardware and couplers for a spearco or oem ic. Also the price is lower if you...

    I'm new so....

    True but unlikely that will happen. It has been sitting for 2 years so it will require as much work if not more so than the turbo.:cry: And you know how lazy I can be. But, should fortune shine upon me, I won't hesitate to add to my yota collection. And that would be a good place to stuff...
