Fun? absolutely. Very expensive? I don't think so...
When it's all done, this beast will probably outrun cars that are more than twice as expensive, including the turbo/suspension/brake upgrade. And with the DSG, it will perform flawlessly on the track.
Why turbo instead of supercharger? Easy answer: HPA is the only aftermarket tuner that has done official extensive testing with the DSG to stress its operation beyond the published torque limits. Besides, they enable Launch Control - at 5,500 RPM :-D

You should definitely stop by before they ship it down to LA next week.
They're in the Surrey region, not too far from downtown Vancouver.
Personally, I'm back in San Francisco already. Couldn't take a week off work just to watch the install :-(

I was going to drop by yesterday, but left the HPA address at home. :(
I will try to stop by again this week and have a word with Marcel. I sent an e-mail to HPA regarding suspension set up but still awaiting for their reply. I guess they are too busy "operating" your car. :-) Too bad you went home already, it would have be nice to meet with someone from out of province.
