I know very little about this stuff but that torque increase seems huge. Will the rest of the car be able to handle the extra grunt?

There are people out there pushing well over 220kw at the wheels in the EA113 engine so you should be just fine when you flash tune your car. There have been people on other forums with Pirellis (same as the 35 basically) who pull anywhere between 160-180kw with the APR tune only at the front wheels.

And similar to more power with other brands of tune that may or may not cost less.

My GTI Adidas and a stage one GIAC tune went from 138kw at the wheels to 173! Made a huge difference! I think stage one on GTI and K04 are pretty similar but 2 and up can utilize the bigger turbo.

Was getting the shakes so took White DSG for a test drive this afternoon. The rep told me my Ed35 was ready to roll, they were just waiting for VW to have their local launch. I'd get my car the next day. Honestly i don't know how you guys can weight 3 - 6 months for your R's! this is very difficult

Ours must surely be close then, if the dealers are getting their stock. I got the same story as crops when I last spoke to the dealer (Monday), the car is ready to go but hasn't yet been "released" by head office and won't be until approx. the 30th.

Could be soon. This dealer had it on display at the German Autofest in Canberra today.

Nice car.....

My dealer has advised that the VWA announcement is this week - I purchased my Edition 35 a few weeks back - manual, candy white - can't wait to see it
