**Sneak Peak!!**
so i got the kit as all of you know...but some stuff i didnt like...i.e. the fuel mgmt that it came with so i sold the safc2 and i still have the tsi fuel unit but i think im gonna throw that out...
as you can tell i have 2 bovs one is the tsi one and the other is a HKS ssqv...had to upgrade
next that manifold does NOT come that way from tsi...
i had it ceramic coated in black by a local place...not only does it look better...but its efficient in holding heat in cause the ceramic is inside the ports also...=prevents heatsoakso all i needs in engine mgmt...but i want to get a vis carbon fiber hood first...
its greddy emanage vs aem ems...if i can afford ems i will get it...but obviously emanage is cheaper...
oh and heres a picture of the grill on my car...i think its better than my homedepot ish...from the picture you can see how it doesnt fit...the minor gap on either side...i dont care its a tradeoff...i like it!

Rep Power: 255 a3 so i can still beat you zack...
well i have the kit plus fuel mgmt/injectors for 1/3 of the price of just the dezod kit w/o fuel mgmt/injectors...
so yeh i guess its cheaper...
heres the pics of the grill...you can see how the 01-03 is more rigid and i guess you can smooth them out but whatever i dont care...its hell of a lot better than stock or home depot mesh
