I'm hoping some of you can give me some useful input on an impending purchase. First, I'm buying a car to drive about 35,000 miles/year, so comfort and MPG are both considerations (not the only considerations, but considerations). I'm trying to decide whether to wait for the TTS or to buy on 08 TT 2.0T and have it modified with the Caractere R8-look bodykit and then some package of performance mods to up power without giving away too much on MPG and completely maintaining reliability. I want to have as much power and handling as possible while maintaining a ride I can live with and reliability. -- I am replacing a BMW and Jaguar in an attempt to be at least a bit more environment-friendly with my gas milage.
So, my questions -- thoughts on mod packages for the 2.0T? is there a completed Caractere kit anywhere in CA or FL that anyone knows of so that I can see what it really looks like? Maybe most important for me, recommendations on a shop or shops to do the work (I want it done absolutely right by people of experience and attention to detail)? Or, if I want basically the total-car service package that I'm describing, and I do, should I simply put in my order for the TTS?
I also have an 07 GTI/DSG that my nephew drives that is bone-stock and may do minor upgrades on that at the same time -- mostly to reduce turbo-lag. I would assume anyone who could handle the TT work would have no problem with this.
The only car I've ever had modified was the BMW and Dinan did all of that and the service, so I have no experience of putting components together rather than buying a 'package' and no knowledge of who a Dinan-equivalent would be with respect to Audi. Basically, I'm looking for someone I can trust and this forum seems to have some pretty knowledgable guys. I really appreciate any input anyone can offer. Thanks!
