Eh. Well I see most of the performance comming from the cheapest part of the upgrade, so I was hoping to get a relativily cheap performance upgrade and get a aftermarket intake for a better sound...

How about borrowing the reflash CD from a friend with the JCW Stage 1 kit, then having the tech at the dealer install it for those of us who can get the tech's to do side jobs?

The reflash CD is VIN specific. I don't think it will work on another car's ECU.

So who's going to hack the CD and figure out how to change the VIN?
