It was a corporate car (from the CarFax) meaning it was titled to a company. The fact that its #2 of 5,000 strongly suggests that company was VWoA
The turbo kit is aftermarket - Rothe Motorsports in Germany. I was told that it was installed in the Auburn Hills plant. No way to confirm or deny this, it very well could have been some dude's back yard. Regardless, the inspection showed alot of time and effort went into the build.
Same way any other car is diagnosed? I also have a VCDS and work for a dealership. Not sure what you mean by profile. :iono:
Thanks!
I wouldn't call it "official" by any measure. Fun? Oh yeah!
Turbo is a RMT07Definitely not a dealership's car.
Photoshoot and LEDs didn't happen. I did swap the wheels and deliver the GTI to its new owner. Also, took a teaser:

I have found the same post in some other VW forums, doesnt say much about the history of the car though, still pretty nice ride if you ask me.

What an awesome car! Not a fan of the thunder bunny front though. No R32 tails?

That's the one I got. Link is in one of my original posts
I'm not a huge TB fan, but its the only bumper that will fit the grande intercooler. Those are the stock US spec R32 tails. I had darcness tinted ones on my GTI, but should be adding OEM LEDs later today :thumbsup:
More pics to come, and thanks! I'm sure I will drive this home to NH via 95 at some point. Where in CT?
Not to be a dick, but does the dealer records indicate it was a leased car? Either you are the third owner, or the guy that was selling it before worked for VW. If you are the second owner, and the guy that had it before you was not a VW employee then he leased it and modded it, which would explain why he bought out the lease and sold it himself instead of turning the car in. Still a nice car.

Three owners on the CarFax; Corporate Fleet, Personal then Personal. First is VWoA (3 yrs 4 mo), 2nd is one of their employees (1 yr 3 mo) 3rd is me.
That's good. Perhaps if you track down your district manager you can get him or her to investigate. Somewhere there's records if VW had the mods done. I don't know how far the company that supplied the components is located form VW, but if they either did the work or sold the components to VW they should have a record of it, and they might give you a copy or verify. And if they did the installation I would bet they have the dyno records.

LED Tails made a huge difference. Can't say I'm crazy about the wheels though. Either way, I bet that thing is a BLAST to drive.
