I'm so jealous you can see your secondary water pump. Some brilliant engineer decided to tuck it under the intake manifold on the 2.7t.
Ah right, that's what people bolt on when they go to Stage 3. A Golf R is still a realistic possibility in the somewhat distant future. I dunno if it will be in one year or three, but when I do replace this car it will almost certainly be for a CPO MK6 R or a new/CPO MK7 Perf pack.

I might not have read far enough up, but which tune are you getting? A canned Apr/giac or is he doing a custom one?
I am curious to see if gas mileage improves. According to the computer I've been averaging 22.7mpg commuting 14 miles/day, 100% city driving. And he's doing the canned Revo Stage 1 tune, not a custom one.

FUCK.
Used B8s are getting into the mid-$20k range. Throw in another few grand for a turbo, tune and some supporting mods and you're in business. :thumbup:
