Rear license plate frame installed, and update on HPA's FT400smic TURBO kit for the 3.2 =)

Marc3.2TT · 03-25-2005, 03:28 PM

Hey guys,

Finally installed my black rear license plate frame today, and I think it did the trick!

Some pics:

I really like how the frame matches the black spoiler and valence:

And here's a side-angle shot, shows you the screw covers that match the frame's color:

And as an update to this thread goes on the HPA FT400smic turbo kit, well I finally ended up talking to Marcel in order to get more answers as the question list grew bigger and bigger..

In the end, I found out that HPA was actually looking for a "first DSG customer" to install the FT400smic kit in, and guess what - that's going to be yours truly here ;-)

Unfortunately Marcel didn't know how to change the DSG codes for launch control, they actually ended up re-writing the entire ECM and TCM software (which was expected for such a kit) and enabled launch control for 5,500 RPM launches!!

As for when this is happening, well I'm driving up to Vancouver this weekend and they'll be working on the car for over a week, then if you want to see it in person, come over to the April 10th/11th events down in SoCal!!

Later =)
-Marc

besides, it looks like Whistler had a really bad season so it wouldn't be that great.

I'll be sure to take pics of the HPA facilities, and keep you posted on the turbo install.
