Really? Mine had no issues. The accelerator pedal (get it, they don't have "gas" pedals  ) was a pain to install but I've had no issues.
They aren't Audi TT pedals per sa. They are listed as Accessories under the VW Beetle catalogs :dunno
Out of curiousity; why are you only on a RC3 tune with an 11m pump and a VNT17? Seems conservative, no?

Mine were the Audi TT pedals, which explains the problem! Thanks!
Yes, the RC3 is probably conservative, although I don't want to break anything... I bought the ECU pre-chipped with the switchable RC2/RC3 tune.

Picked up an OEM rear sunshade thing. Super neat. And OEM radio trim pieces to put a real radio in it

Good to see another 98,
I agree on the black sheep, or red headed stepchild. And you might as well not even have a light in the car with the output of the mirror light.
Fortunately i just figured out how to take the soft touch paint off the plastic, (isopropyl alcohol) unfortunately i had already sanded the passenger side by the window. Oh well time for the buffer( as a note, little old ladies and a car full of little dogs with sharp nails reek havoc on the crappy plastic paint that vw used)
Slowly customizing and upgrading as parts break or wear out.
Nice Wheels BTW.

Some updates, managed to demolish a deer with the front end.
Yes, that is a Teddy Bear in my headlight. I had to come up with some way to protect the HID wiring I did while I find another HID housing.
I've replaced the hood already.
More recently I put an Audi TT steering wheel in it which is great improvement!
