No, it'd still be the best way to go. Heat shield is still just going to prolong failure. New ECU, and get it reflashed, or just wait for boost.

True, but boosting isnt cheap.. but im sure you already know that. did you put some cams or giac chip in it to help with some more stock horse power?

Get some autotech 262s on their black friday sale!!!

makes a HUUGE difference. Car gets a 2nd wind from 4k and up. then add a chip (I had unitronic) and its really a fun car to drive.

i would but, selling the car this week hopefully. the dealership messed up the car so epc and traction control light are on, idk why... im thinking the gauge cluster. they wouldnt even clear the airbag fault cod that was popping up when cluster was removed.

Dang that blows id go back and have them fix it again. If they took apart the gauge cluster and got you all those codes, they should fix it for free

contact vw of america and talk to them about the dealership. might get you somewhere might not. worth a phone call. or park the car in front of their show room with a sign saying they f'ed your car and wont take responsibility.
