I am having a similar problem on step 9, my computer says the specified drivers are not compatible with my device. I would try INvar's directions but where do I get ECUflash V1.42???? Romraider only talks about the tactrix cable not VAGCOM cable. Can someone post the ECUflash v1.42 download. Thank you, Scott

for that manufacture that is the complete number 190N I'm looking at the box now. Hope that helps, Scott

It should look exactly like your stock one but black instead of green cover. Not sure what they did look for another source. I got mine at Haps or Hubs Auto. In OC, Cali make sure you get the, also make sure it the part number ends with 190N not 196. That is a common mistake auto parts stores make. Mine is manuf by AUP Automotive.

There is a turbo and non turbo model however most parts stores do not show different part numbrs which is BS. make sure you get Turbo. this is for auto and 5mt but for turbo only.... hope that helps

Ok Cool I have bought from them before, thanks. Still deciding which way to go still. I don't want to reaplce the whole axle with some china made crapola and have more issues later. What do you guys think about the carpartsdiscount.com part?

Do you need to repack grease in the new assembly boots if so how much grease? What kind of grease is used and can I get it at the local auto store? I called on this http://www.carpartsdiscount.com and they have them for Turbo model for $60.00 plus 15.00 to ship does this seem right? That seems way to cheap. Sub wants 350.00 just for the axle... Should I go for it?

So are you saying it's an hour less work replacing the whole axle then just replacing the one boot? I need to o this right away an need to know the best way to get it done. Also you all are getting these off E-bay or is there a better place? I'm in Cali Thank you, Scott

I have owned a top of the line Belkin cig plug in with auto station finder and was a piece of crap. Is the direct connect FM modulator that plugs into the antenna any good does it work better or is totally clear and free of static like as though it was plugged right into the stereo? Anybody have feed back on this adaptor?

Yes i did read up on the FAQ on Cobb about this. I guess I'm simply going off All the Turbo cars I have had. I thought the Passat was the worst with getting foul; ups when tweaking things. I would have never thought in a million years that a simple intake would trip this car up. I would think the car would have enough auto adjust in the timing and in the ecu to adapt toa a m inor change as this. If what your saying is true then a dirty filter could have the same effect. Other thing to think about is K&N as done plenty of R&D work when producing this air filter. If there was a problem to the caliber your taking about they would not make a filter system for the car period. They would have major tech calls about this already and would have put this part on hold. I will contact them now that I'm online again and get one from them and test it myself. I'll let everybody know what I come up with Scott

Custom tune for Intake only??? You would never notice even the slightest difference. The ECu would adjust and compensate for a minor part like that. Do you know what people charge for custom tuning?? You might see 1-2 HP from this. Not worth it. Temp from day to day would change your HP more than a custom tune for and intake. Let's think about this guys. The reason they don't suggest them is because of hot air from under the hood. If the Typhoon is designed like the others I have used then it would be a plus for our car. Most K&N stuff is done real well and I have worked with them on many cars when at Eibach. For tuning sake custom tune when you have done something major, I.E Turbo, Full Exhaust, COMBO Pulley,Intake,Exhaust installs things like that. Does anybody know where I-Speed gets off charging $900.00 for their Reflash only with Tune? They claim a whooping 15 hp and 45 lbs. Tq. AP is like 28 HP and 40 lbs Tq. for $645.00 and they developed it here in the USA and a US Spec car. Not from the stinking UK. I don't understand this>>>>

Why have nobody spoke on Boost Numbers? This is most important in building HP on Turbo cars. So what is the stock Boost and Stage1 boost and stage 2 boost? My Passat was 7 lbs stock and 16 lbs chipped. This was a 50 HP gain. It's possible our cars are already pushing high boost levels to begin with so Timing, Fuel and Air are focus points for tuning along with a 2 to 5 lb boost increase. Am I warm??? I'm going for the Cobb deal seems like the best choice for what I'm going to do. Scott
