LNF is indeed direct injection. I've read the stock GM MAF sensors don't read past 27.5 psi or something like that, so most LNF modders switch to a high-range Bosch sensor. The GM performance kit I put on the HHR SS had the new sensors, though I can't figure out why - it only raised the boost to 25 or so. I guess the thinking was that the measurements could be off if they're taken at the end of the sensor's range.

That GTI sounds like it's a force to be reckoned with.

Haha my original intention was to just purely DD the vw. Lol I knew nothing about vw a year ago haha. But I've learned a little bit over the last few months. Wish I could learn and retain school info as well as car info hahaha :roll:

Anyways more news on the VW ordered a set of H&R springs for the car and have put about 800mi on them now, also will have a new set of wheels for the vw as well Big Grin

***also***

In regards to meetings on Wednesdays, I work fulltime from 4p-12a Mon-Fri, and the last 3 weeks I've been working weekends also, that along with being a fulltime student and having a class on Wed from 6p-9p is the reason I didn't get a chance to meet some of the alumni yesterday. I did meet afew of you 2 years ago at VIR for octoberfest though. Hopefully will get a chance to go to summit begging of nov and meet everyone again!

It's funny, I really don't like the new/current Jettas much, but the GLI is so right. Yours looks great with the gentle drop.

Thanks Jake! The lowering springs helped it a lot

Keep the yellow fogs.. I'm a sucker for yellow fog lights on lighter cars.
