| Well its about that time I make one of these. I have some pretty big plans for this one, some have which have already gone under way. What it looked like shortly after I bought it...  What it looks like now...  To do: -K04-001 turbo swap. -Eurojet Street FMIC. Done: -Golf front end swap. -R32 front bumper. -Smoked headlights. (Joey modded for now, real ones to come.) -Boser hood. -Badgeless grill. -Front respray in Platinum grey. -2.5 Eurospec stainless steel cat back exhaust. -OEM replica 5-100 MK5 "Huff" wheels with 215/40/18 tires.

| I might, I just dont want to set all my hopes on a stage 3 yet because I have other things to be completed before upgrading the turbo. Who knows maybe way down the road yes. Its just not that practical for me at this time.

| I suppose, getting stage 3 would probably require about 15-20hours/week at Staples haha

| Yeah for sure. I think Puck was kidding anyway. Wait a few years till you're getting more hours at better pay and then go for it.  |

| Yeah exactly lol this is my DD and I would figure around 200-210WHP is a little more reliable than lets say 290-300WHP and also alot cheaper to pull off. Dont be hating its the route I chose to take.
