2006 Audi A3 2.0T
=================================================================================
The car is successfully chipped with the GIAC X Chip. Feels a whole hell of a lot faster too... but not too much power, the car still handles it very well and braking is a little lacking so it's incentive not to go too fast.
Speaking of braking, the Akebono pads have been installed and the brake dust has been cut by 50 - 60%! Stopping power is still there and a tad smoother... but the pads seem to heat up quick with heavy braking. Much faster than the stock pads did.
