Sweet ride and welcome to the '02 Sport Club. I bought mine new in '02 and have the extended waranty, so it doesn't run out until September '09. When it does... I have researched some promising tweaks on a web site dedicated to the 1.8T engine that are basically bolt ons from an Audi TT spec 1.8T, which involves going up one size in the turbo, reflashing the ROM and some mother minor tweeks, which are claimed to pump it up to 270 hp. All for about $1,400. I put some Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Positions on a year ago and they made a major improvement in the handling and the ride. What is amazing is those suckers do awesome in the Indiana ice & snow too.
