Yeah man i did. But considering im still in school itd be very hard for me to tune it the way i want as easily as the 1.8T. Plus we got a pretty good deal on the 1.8T and the guy i was buying the VR6 from had been out of town for 3 weeks and just started not responding period. So all in all i think it ended up like this for the better.

Lol thanks for all the good wishes guys. I totally love this car! Hey bagel VR6-T sounds good in my book. Id turbo that thing as soon as i had enough bank man. Quick question, would a single stage intake increase the audibleness of my DV? Thanks

it doesnt take much to increase the DV sound, i heard mine clear with just a k&N panel filter, then i did the stock airbox cold air intake mod and its even louder,
but any cold air will make it louder because the DV will be closer to the opening for intake, hence filter on a cold air.

Just keep in mind K&N use oiled gauze filters as opposed to your stock "paper" and do not filter small particles as well as stock, which is why it allows for increased air flow. This will eventually get your sensor dirty and really piss it off, causing it to throw a code and turn you rich.
