If a company isn't able to support a method of communication then it's very very simple, don't publicise it on your website in BIG BOLD characters.

Unfortunately, that also applies to VWR. I've read the review of their red Golf in car magazine, where it was suggested that VWR could help out with tuning GTIs. I've read enthusiastic posts by members of this and sister forum (especially RedRobin's very enthusiastic posts), I went to their webpage where they say

which is not true, as some forum members learned. They've never replied to my emails, though I was prepared so spend my hard earned on their expensive products.
I do not blame them, racing is most important to them, but their advertising is utterly misleading. That is NOT how you do business.

....Perhaps you haven't read the post on this site by their MD Sam Roach in which he explains the transition they are going through and their awareness of their current shortcomings. I was with them again last week and can tell you first hand that they are very aware indeed of their current shortcomings outside racing. Solutions don't happen overnight.
Of course, it remains to be seen whether they successfully pursue this more public side of their business or allow their racing priorities to continue to compromise it. Personally, myself and a few others have no problems with the way they work now but I do understand those who do. It comes down to an individual's expectations again.
One thing is always true and that is that you can never satisfy everybody all of the time. :grin:

bringing it back on topic.......
SO8 , Id look at it from the view of what you want to do with the car , drag strip / track days or just commuting??
Any issues you feel are substandard you would wish to improve on?
Do you want
1. more power , TBE etc
2. better handling e.g. springs / coilovers / ARB's / WALK / bushes
3. better brakes
4. more driver feedback e.g. engine mounts / exhaust
5. more in car toys. e.g. boost gauge
6. Visual fun e.g. wheels /tyres / carbon
7. DSG remap
how big is your wallet? :grin:

I was gonna comment on the TC/RR/SP thing but I think it is better to bite my tongue.
I would have thought sorting out intake and exhaust would be a priority before going on to things like intercoolers, though IIRC T_T has an intercooler fitted to his MKV, with no other mods intially though he went for a revo remap thereafter. Wonder how it handles now.
