    Good time to buy some VW overseas goodies as the exchange rate is very good!

    Hi Folks,

    With the Aussie dollar at 0.9380 must be a good time to buy some VW goodies from overseas as the exchange rate is very good............

    I'll put in for a Forge Short Shifter if I can find the right part number and where to buy from, what else??? think hard guys???

    So what is on everyones shopping list for their Polo GTI's etc? Christmas is not too far off and if we buy now maybe you'll get something extra.

    If you please don't mind adding, advise of Item description & part number,where/which 'website' with link you intend to purchase from, and $aud plus shipping cost?

    Cheers Al

    Anything EUR, YEN and USD is good. So is the GBP, but could be better!

    Time is now Dave, the rate is too good! Is that kit a direct swap or does it require upgraded injectors, fuel regulator, tune etc (i'll search in the meantime).

    I think it depends what Software you go with, APR requires a 4.0 bar Fuel Pressure Regulator

    GIAC needs •380 cc injectors
    •225 TT 3inch OD MAF with real TT sensor

    Nice, read up on it. Price is like $1,195 which I think is a great price. It does recommend an upgraded ECU tune to obtain full potential, but not required.

    It seems from posts I've read, it is safe to run stock internals etc which I think is great. I wonder what sort of power this will produce with tune, exhaust and kit.

    I thought it was around the $3000 mark from APR in Aus, then for the software too, depending if you have a current APR tune or not

    How much more power do you get, I guess not that much
