I love my dealer. Not in a brokeback way you understand.

"odd" like 23" or 19", or odd looking? You did say that you can't quit the dealer didn't you?

Don't blame me, blame PCNA; they write the warranty policies....I don't write the news, I just deliver it.
P.S. I don't consider a Cayenne fun nor p-life.

Default Price of lowering modules

Thanks Alex, I owe you another one.

What are people paying for these modules?

I see that the Rinspeed, Cargrapic and Gemballa units all physically look the same. Are they the same and if so who actually makes the unit.

Any feed back on the Techart unit vs the others?

Thanks again,

From what i know the new Peppers will have 'direct fuel injection'. This was developed by Volkswagen under the name FSI. Both Audi and VW use FSI in their cars. Its just a matter of time when Porsche will add FSI to their engines. I dont think that FSI can be easily added afterwards. If you want to learn more about FSI try google or this link .

And pure CUBIC INCHES. The new "near 300hp" V6 for example is something like 3.6-3.8l

it's probably going to be 3.6, if the V6 will be VW/Audi base, the 3.6 Q7 will be out by summer... only the Q7 4.2 FSI will be available this spring.. the audi 3.6 is rated at 280HP, so like Charlie says , the pcar will probably be around 300.. if they put FSI on the current CS, that will be a great car

I took the plunge today and LOVE it!
I did two mods today -Fabspeed Cat Bypass and Evo Diverter Valves (installed new DME) - finally.
The other two mods - air intake change and DME flash in a month when the air intakes finally are released.

I drove for about an hour on the highway and main streets and I can really feel a throttle response difference. Subjective? Perhaps a bit because I WANT there to be a change, but even the tech said that he could feel a difference when he test drove it after these basic installs.

The exhaust resonates a bit more but not a profound difference at all, not too loud by any means either. A little throatier, a little more growl - sportier growl.


I would surely recommend this change for any CT and the pipes for any S.

Hey Kooser,

The grill looks great! Did you spray that (wurth silver) or is the an aftermarket grill?

You may not get a response to your question anytime soon...Kooser hasn't been around RL for over three years now.
