    I cannot see much point in sound insulation for the TSI's, you struggle to hear them anyway until you put your foot down.
    I thought the vRS TSI has an artificial f**t sound generator fitted?

    Agreed. Def don't need it in qld, don't want to keep the heat in!

    I fitted mine mainly to protect the paintwork on the bonnet as I've had a couple of other cars where the heat from the engine killed the paintwork.

    I also like that it helps the engine heat up much quicker.

    Noise - I'm ambivalent about it but when other people were complaining about the injector noise at idle I was like WTF?

    Hello Kitty JDM Sticker...

    There you go. Might have to call and make sure they don't cut it so the sign writer can put it on easier.

    Edit: :p

    Wouldn't this cause additional heat sink for the turbo then?
